The plot takes us to the junkyard of Cade Yeager (Wahlberg, looking contented in the way of an actor who knows this will be his last Transformers)

lol

Wasn't LV seeing that today?

I can't wait till he tells us what a powerhouse film this is and how beautiful encapsulated our current culture is shown through the eye of the genius that is Michael Bay

did you know that the battle between Autobots and Decepticons started not at the Hasbro toy store, but back with the knights of the round table?!? Well, Anthony Hopkins sure does. The Oscar winner has been paycheck-persuaded to take on the role Sir Edmund Burton,

I dig this writer.

come on! How was it?

I kinda loved it. With 13 Hours and this, Bay is really approaching an avant-garde style. He has almost transcended storytelling (which I wish he just embrace and stop wasting time on all this dumb plot exposition). It is just so beautifully filmed. Every shot is composed so impeccably. What an eye he has. At this point in their careers, I think Bay, Michael Mann, and Jean-Luc Godard are all of an ilk.

Now go watch the final scene of the Jim Jeffries show. It might be Brad Pitt's best performance of anything ever.

Agreed.

[Strat]

I get physically ill watching bay movies.

[BurtReynolds]

I think he's gotten worse visually, though. It's devolved into noise since he took on transformers.

For what it's worth, this is the only Transformers movie to date that I have actively liked. Most of them are exhausting.

I want to fight you because I have a strong suspicion you are super goddamn wrong but it would be dishonest of me because I haven't watched a Michael Bay movie since Pain and Gain (which, to be fair, I sort of liked)

Pain and Gain is fantastic

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
