Michael Bay, one of the world’s worst directors, is already yapping his useless mouth about Transformers 3.  However, it appears Michael Bay, one of the world’s worst directors, is going to make a futile attempt to channel his inner-auteur. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Micahel Bay, one of the world’s worst directors, said that Transformers 3 won’t be as “robot heavy”. I mean, why would you want a movie about giant robots to be robot heavy?

Michael Bay, one of the world’s worst directors, is also promising less explosions: “There will be a nice crescendo ending,” Bay said. “It gets much more into the robot character. The last time you kind of met a few of the robots; this time you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape.”

So expect something between Ingmar Bergman and Stanley Kubrick. Or, expect the same pile of cinematic garbage to extricate itself from Michael Bay’s asshole because the man has proven time and time again that he is incapable of anything approaching quality.

Ever wonder why a hack like Michael Bay continues to helm awful movies? Because there is apparently no shortage of easily-pleased people with disposable income, as evidenced by the latest sales figures for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on DVD and Blu-Ray. In the first week alone, it managed to sell an amazing 7.5 million in its first week of availability. Previously, the vampire flick Twilight was the best-selling DVD of the year at 8-million copies, but it has had since March 21st to attain that number, whereas Transformers nearly surpasses it in a single week. And that, dear reader, is why Michael Bay is allowed to create more crap.

Unlike a lot of the staff at some of the other gaming websites you may read regularly, most of us here at GameAlmighty are old enough to actually remember the prosperous years of the 1980s – all of them, not just the last 2 or 3. It’s what makes us such fans of them, and also allows us to provide our readers with accurate, 1st hand perspective on the great games and other phenomena, like G.I. Joe, that seem to be having an increasing influence on the movies, television, comics,  and games you consume today.

Unfortunately, the same age that allows us to comment with authority on the things of yester-year also cause us to occasionally forget the things of yesterday and today. For instance, because we are such big fans of that decade, it was our intention to remind all of you that this past Tuesday the Joe-themed game, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, was being released and the movie was going to be in some theaters tonight. However, in spite of the big post-it note reminder on the wall, we still forgot to do it till now:

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra the game hit stores on Tuesday and the movie of the same name is in theaters now.

There. Now the sticky note can come down, and we can get back to reviewing it. Will we be cheering “Yo, Joe!”, or insisting it’s Scrap Iron?  Check back in the next couple days for our verdict.
