In the scheme of “rare events”, Michael Bay sounding humble ranks as a lot less common than a solar eclipse and only sightly more common than Halley’s Comet. This is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, folks; I’m honored to be reporting on it. You see, for all his bluster, Bay is still a hired studio hand who’s great [...]

Michael Bay’s constant battle to keep Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen plot points secret is getting funnier all the time. Thwarting him this week? The official Revenge of the Fallen coloring book, which contains gems like the following (click to enlarge): See more screencaps here.

Michael Bay should really just give it up. He doesn’t do secrecy well. He’s not J.J. Abrams. His attempts at misinformation are badly delivered, easily refuted, and only make him look stupid. He announced a while back that Megatron would not appear in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen — and everyone immediately called B.S. after pointing [...]

Remember when Michael Bay said Megatron definitely wasn’t going to be in Revenge of the Fallen, but toy box art clearly showed he was lying? Further proof comes from two separate sources this week.
