I think the difference is how you enjoy the movie.If you think the movies are fun but silly,
rather than a brilliant piece of art,than cross your name of the douche bag list.
I still think he's douche though but I don't have a show to run.
While it was mature of him to apologize, I'm not sure if Michael Bay can hear our insults from the gigantic pile of money he lives in.
I like how Bob calls out movies for being for douche bags while he acts like a know-it all douche bag himself. Some of those movies weren't terrible... well I admit what was up with the raciest transformers. Although seeing how old transformers is they might have been still acceptable back in the day. Like speedy Gonzales or Date Rape Le Pew.
Why back-peddle with the Bay comment? As far as I'm concerned you can say whatever the fuck you want on your own show.
Don't worry about "integrity," you're just fine. Someone needs to speak up for us. 7/10 is a bad review these days and you seem to be the only one who will lay out a 2/10 when it's deserved.
Besides, Bay threw integrity out the window in 98.

Well, i thought you were going in a good direction with that apology, until you completely undermined the more pressing insult; being that you called any person who enjoyed Transformers a douche-bag as well. Thanks for that, though, I had almost forgotten why I disregard almost everything you have to say.
For the love of god, if you don't like a movie, that's fine. But don't go around hurling insults at the people who do. Imagine if I had said "Scott Pilgrim is still a movie made by pretentious hipsters who enjoy the odd buggering, for pretentious hipsters who enjoy the odd buggering." in this sentence, not only am I declaring my loathing for the movie, which in of itself would be fine, but I am also declaring my loathing for you, specifically, Movie Bob, simply because you enjoyed it. That is what you have done to me, sir, on two separate occasions now.

No reason to apologize Movie Bob, your Transformers 2 review is easily one of my favorites. I enjoy your reviews because you take a side, you don't beat around the bush stating the pros vs. the cons.
You just say whether or not the movie is worth our time and you don't care what other people think of your opinion. I love how people are offended when MovieBob makes fun of them for seeing a movie, but no gives a damn about Yahtzee calling everyone a twat every week. Plus, anyone who actually enjoys a Michael Bay film IS a douchebag, there's not one person I've met who enjoyed Transformers who wasn't.

Bay may not be a douchebag, but he's still a MORON. Anyway, I saw True Grit on Xmas and this is what I have to say: Jeff Bridges dual-wielding revolvers with the reins in his teeth. Nuff said.
My top films that I saw: Inception and True Grit
Biggest Disappointment: Iron Man 2 (and probably soon to be Iron Man 3 and every Marvel film in the next two years)

Oh, I doubt it. I think the apology is yet another dig at Expendables. He got a lot of flack for his comments about Transformers and then he got a lot of flack for his comments about The Expendables. By making a big, showy apology about Transformers, it's a passive-aggressive way of highlighting what he said about people who made/saw/enjoyed the Expendables instead of his pet movie, Scott Pilgrim.MattKirby said:
Yet at what end of the Coen-spectrum does True Grit lie?
Does it lean more towards Fargo and No Country For Old Men, or towards The Big Lebowski and Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

I bet Michael Bay was swimming in his pool of money and thought to himself, "You know what? I don't like what that chubby guy from Massachusetts said about me on the internet. I think I'll waste lots of money paying someone to get in touch with him so that he can give me an apology."MattKirby said:
No, I think Bob is finally just seeing that we enjoy his reviewing much better than we like him going off on opinionated rants.
