“I didn’t have a stop watch, but it seemed to me the elephantine action scenes were pretty much spaced out evenly through the movie. There was no starting out slow and building up to a big climax. The movie is pretty much all climax. The Autobots® and Deceptibots® must not have read the warning label on their Viagra. At last we see what a four-hour erection looks like.”
Roger Ebert on Transformers 2.
Also, I’ve enjoyed Brothers Bloom and Brick director Rian Johnson’s Twitter, in which he defines Michael Bay’s creative process as, “clarified by describing any scene from the film then putting the words “and shit” at the end of it.”
‘And they need to get to this machine they have to bust up the pyramids and shit.’
‘And then there’s a whole prophecy and it’s something about astronomy and shit.’
‘And this sliver thing activates something in Shia’s brain so he’s seeing symbols and shit.’”
