    I wonder if the numbers are adjusted for inflation because when Spielberg started making movies you could take the whole family to the movie theater for what one ticket costs today.

    Somewhere, several film critics just committed hara-kiri.

    True , but Bay will have at least another decade before having to worry about that... :lol

    Speaking of MB, I watched Bad Boys for the first time in years last night (it was on TV) and I totally forgot it was by Bay until the end when they blow up the hangar, it's such a typical Bay explosion! :bay 

    What an achievement though! for all the grief he gets from critics, the guy sure knows how to make a popular movie!

    I think hara-kiri is the name of the cut, the ritual itself is Seppuku.

    Edit: turns out its a case of flammable / inflammable.

    The nearly 3 Billion world wide gross (a yet unequalled figure) would suggest otherwise from a pure monetary perspective. I don't think it's sequels will do better numbers unless they become the Aliens and/or Terminator 2 to the original though. Money like that is once in a lifetime.

    Go, Michael, It's your birthday.

    Though I'd love to see an adjusted for inflation list. I'd just like to see some names of people not strictly relevant to the last forty years of movie making on there. Seriously, Dennis Dugan is on there wtf.

    bashing the dude is such a cliched and tired bit. no matter how questionable the results are, Bay busts his ass when it's go time.

    I don't care what the 'haters' say. Bay is unique. He picks the best looking cars to be our favourite Transformers characters. His filming is cool and the explosions are fantastic. He may not be brilliant and robot - robots dialouge, but AOE has just fixed that.

    Just the BB singing bit...
