13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi | Michael Bay | 40M on homevideo sales so far (Page 20)

[Ozymandias]

But with half of the gross. 

 

Don't care about money, but this movie will be to Black Hawk Down what Pearl Harbor was to Titanic.

[Ethan Hunt]

But with half of the gross.

Maybe, I think Bay might create enough curiosity to get it to 130-140M

[The Futurist]

Listen to the prophet :

 

On patriotism

“I'm, like, a true American.”

 

On the possibility of changing his style
“I don't change my style for anybody. Pussies do that.”

 

On Transformers 2 
“The real fault with [Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen] is that it ran into a mystical world. When I look back at it, that was crap.”

 

On dealing with difficult actors
“Some directors will cower, but I don’t take shit.”

 

On Hugo Weaving’s complaints about doing voice work for Transformers
“Do you ever get sick of actors that make $15 million a picture, or even $200,000 for voiceover work that took a brisk one hour and 43 minutes to complete, and then complain about their jobs? With all the problems facing our world today, do these grumbling thespians really think people reading the news actually care about trivial complaints that their job wasn’t ‘artistic enough’ or ‘fulfilling enough’? ... What happened to people who had integrity, who did a job, got paid for their hard work, and just smiled afterward? Be happy you even have a job—let alone a job that pays you more than 98% of the people in America. I have a wonderful idea for all those whiners: They can give their ‘unhappy job money’ to a wonderful Elephant Rescue. It’s the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Africa. I will match the funds they donate.”

[MovieMan89]

Well Bay himself has now called TF2 "crap." It is officially indefensible.

 

His response to that last question is pretty awesome.

TRANSFORMERS 4 IS THE FILM HE REALLY HAS TO ANSWER TO

TRANSFORMERS 4 IS THE FILM HE REALLY HAS TO ANSWER TO

4 us no where near as bad as 2 ( it still isn't good though)

[MovieMan89]

TRANSFORMERS 4 IS THE FILM HE REALLY HAS TO ANSWER TO

Nah, that one's just dull and cliche more than bad.

Michael Bay Is the Michael Bay of Bombastic Quotes

[Jack Nevada]

The reaction to this will make the American Sniper controversy look like nothing.

[The Futurist]

The movie will be handled with grace, audacity & artistry.

[Ozymandias]

Potentially yes.  I haven't seen TF4 and said to myself I wouldn't bother ever watching another Bay film, but if the controversy over this one takes off (especially if its shit which it most likely will be) , I'm gonna have to see this because I wouldn't want to miss out on some epic forum action.

[Maxmoser3]

I see Act Of Valor to Zero Dark Thirty numbers for this but I wouldn't be surprised if it performed like Lone Survivor did.

I fucking love Bay.  Seriously.  I love him.  Fuck Hugo Weaving and good for Bay for not giving a fuck who he is and just telling it like it is.

[CJohn]

Strong true words by Mr. Bay about Hugo Weaving. He should he happy he is getting paid 200k for a few hours of work per movie. I bet that 15M comment was about Shia. I wouldn't be surprised if he got 15M (paycheck + back end deal) to make TF3.

And Bay would match the donation.  He puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to animals.

Yep, artistic bullshit, give me a fucking break.  You play make believe for a living, it doesn't get much more trivial than that.
