I don't hate Bay, but he does confuse the hell out of me. I don't understand how someone who can make something as gut-wrenchingly awful as Transformers (Four times!) can make something as fantastic as Pain and Gain. The former is racist, sexist, jingoistic garbage. The latter is a hilarious condemnation of that shit and the stupid people that like it. The characters in Pain and Gain are clearly portrayed as bad people, and they're also the people who would be first in line for a movie like Transformers. If he knows this stuff is bad and bad for you, why does he keep making it? Why doesn't he use Transformers to do something more? Or at the very least not propagate the views he's previously criticized.
I just don't get it.
Sometimes, you just want to draw dicks all over the place, because, even though you're a really good artist, and you've proven it with pieces that pander to the common-critical audience, giving you your fame, you just sort of want to draw dicks. You know people will buy your drawings of dicks, and even if they don't, you have too much money to care, and since you don't care, and want to draw dicks, you end up drawing dicks.
That's the Michael Bay analogy in a nutshell. He wants to draw dicks. Yep.
