article published on 14 February, 2008
In what can equate to an "I told you so", director Michael Bay has spoken out again about Blu-ray and its recent "victories" over the rival HD DVD format.
Earlier this week, both Netflix and Best Buy seemingly chose Blu-ray as their HD format of choice although Best Buy said it will continue to stock both. Bay, taking the time to knock HD DVD had this to say at the Visual Effects Society?s ... [ read the full article ]

LOL
This guy is such a two-faced tool, on so many levels.
By the way Mr. Bay, Transformers wasn't a very good movie, so who cares what format it was on.

I've read the profile but he can have that much of an influence so he can have a word at the format war?
Cause we are talking about toshiba, sony, microsoft, warner, paramount etc that can turn the world around.

Do u mean current formate war, all seems lost, but it is still a war, HD DVD has not offically given up yet, therefore the war hasn't ended yet, i think the only hope is M$ buying out a BR studio, or HD players dropping below the $100 barrier!
BAY has had a continually changing view, that seems to change every week, if HD was winning he has equal amount of quotes saying he beleived that they would win the format war, No medal should been given to this man, he is a complete idiot when it has coem to this war, only confusing consumers himself with his contianlly changing views!

Do you think that perhaps Microsoft's reason for supporting HD DVD had something to do with their Xbox competing against Sony(Blu-Ray) PS3?

Michael Bay should just keep his mouth shut. His movies suck anyway. No transformers 2? Good. Talk about milking the licence.

Of course it is. It's all politics at the end of the day. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course, people will tell you it's about the best format blah blah blah, but really it's all politics, no matter what they say. Anybody who has bought an HD player of whatever type is going to be trumpeting their format's cause. Objectivity is officially dead as far as I'm concerned.
You can count me out of any more format discussions, unless somebody can come up with something more constructive.

Bay is a tool to the max. first he comes out swinging in the press bashing hd-dvd which we all know they are identical in quality aside fromk disc space. then he gets scolded by his people and less and a few hours later he says some trash about he hadnt even seen the movie 300 in high def and after doing so its clear hd-dvd is amazing. Now that he turns out to be correct which wasnt that hard to figure out when sony and the world is backing blu-ray and hes gloating on his call/ "nobody belived me" ... um yeh i think every ps3 owner believed him. F#cking tool!!!

Maybe but I don't see how using the same format disc would prevent them from competing against each other in terms of being games consoles.The discs would still be unplayable in each other's machines.
I see plenty of film studios and dvd sellers competing against each other - all using the same format(films) and discs.

Bay you are an idiot. Transformers was a waste of time. All it had was some nice looking women and high priced overkill special effects and a plot that goes nowhere. And why would a stupid optical format prevent you from making another blockbuster movie that you know would make a killing no matter how crappy it is.
Enough of the 1,2,3's of the same movies. You know you can condense all the sequels into one and make a great movie. Hollywood sucks.

It might be a waste of your time but the movie grossed 320 million dollars.Transformers goes a long way back either you liked it as a child growing up or you didn't but the Micheal Bay bashing i see on here is laughable not one person on here can discredit his work if you want to check count the awards he took home for best picture or better yet his resume.

I checked his "resume". It is full of milking. Nominated for worst director of armageddon and worst picture. The last time he has won an award was way back in 1999.Oh before I forget to mention, pearl harbor was that bad I walked out half way through

Excatly what I thought about his movie or to be more precise "What the hell was the point of this movie"
@Nexgen76
Your right he has made some goods films and won plenty of awards, But I think the reason he's getting bashed is because, one min. he loves Hd-DvD, then the next min. he loves Blu-Ray.
But hey thats just my opinion.

Transformers hit the market back in my day and I loved the film. It was cool to see the Autobots and Decepticons in full CG action while thinking back on the days of mucking about with the plastic toys. Young'uns these days have always had films to go with their toys but it wasn't always that way............

As usual neph you are right.. it must be an age thing. All I saw was a low production standards 80's childrens animation...
But I still don't give a flying f--- how much money it grossed at the box office.. that just says hype, not quality. I haven't even bothered to download it.

The age thing definitely adds a wonderful dimension to those type of films. When I've thoroughly enjoyed something in a older medium such as toys, comics or cheesey 70's cartoons (bless 'em!) seeing it done well in modern cinema can be extraordinary. As a kid I watched the Spiderman cartoons religiously and my all time favorite character was Doc Ock so when I finally got to see Spiderman 2 in the theater I got giggly as all hell and flushed with goose bumps whenever Doc Ock was on the screen. It was great :D
