Michael Bay Hates You

Audiences walked out of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen saying, "Why did I waste my time and money on such garbage?" Hell they seem to be getting sick of Megan Fox while they're at it. Good for them. Sure, I've felt this way dating back to the first film from 2007. But it's better late than never.

Nonetheless the sequel still made a fortune at the box-office. So now Paramount is moving forward on Transformers 3. I know you can hardly contain yourselves at the thought of more explosions, camera-fucking Fox and Uncle Tom robots. Now Michael Bay's official website gives a head's up:

• He will be meeting later this week with Steven Spielberg, and Ehren Kruger to discuss ideas for Transformers 3. By the end of the week he should have an idea if Transformers 3 will hit your local cineplex in the summer of 2011 or 2012.
• In the meantime "Pain & Gain" is looking very possible as is...
• ...Bad Boys 3. Either film coming to a theater near you before or after Transformers 3.

Of course, Bay and the studio previously had it out over a release date after they went ahead and announced Transformers 3 for July 1st 2011. Bay himself claimed they'd already agreed to 2012 instead.

Considering that 2011 is turning out to be one stuffed summer, my guess would be they opt to go for the latter date which doesn't have too terribly many tentpoles set up yet. That would also give Bay enough time to get either Pain & Gain or Bad Boys off the ground by then. Then again, I'll avoid a third Transformers film like I did Revenge of the Fallen. So fuck it. Release it whenever the Hell you want, Bay.
