The Big Picture: Leave Michael Bay Alone

[Kuuenbu]

7 pages and not a single Chris Crocker reference. Now that's a record.

Transferring the hatred of public majority onto Michael Bay is understandable. It means that natural selection favors him, not you; certainly an uncomfortable fact to face.

Good for you Bob.

I agree with the underlying message of this episode, absolutely, and I probably wouldn't have put my thoughts together to realise it myself.

That said, the pigs-and-slop analogy came across as unbearably superior; just a step above unironically calling the cinema-goers "proles" or "hoi polloi". I realise it wasn't the intention of Bob to patronise, and that the fact of the matter stands, but it really was a crass choice of analogy.

I never understood the shitting on of Michael Bay. Sure, most of his movies are thoughtless and uninspiring, but they're entertaining as all hell. Seriously, dumb entertainment can be the best entertainment. If you had a tough week of work, you wouldn't want to go to a movie that made you think, you'd want to relax to a movie that a bunch of awesome explosions.
