Well, the timely bumb in this thread brings it full circle. It looks like Michael Bay's lack of inspiration**, talent, and caught up with him in a perfect storm of brain lockup at the Consumer Electronics Show. The question that stumped him, "What do you think?"
**the pinnacle (read nadir) of which includes, Transformers...Transformers 2.... and....uhhhh...., Transformers 3......

I also believe they're criminally overrated, and in one case, is a plagiarizing motherfucker, so rather than naming obvious failures like "UweBoll" and "Michael Bay", I'll go with these two;
Stanley Kubrick (I admit I need to see way more of his films, in all honesty) Quentin Tarantino (Still can't understand the love considering the rip-offs, occasionally painfully cheesy dialogue, all reminiscent of an unpopular high school freshman trying unsuccessfully to impress the upperclassmen.)

Nope, I haven't seen The Fall. I remember reading on Wikipedia him saying something along the lines of UweBoll's quote, "I'm the only genius in the business."
Michael Bay = teh [spoiler]awesomeness[/spoiler] shittiness.
And even though UweBoll's movies are worse than anything else, he still seems like a down to earth, intelligent guy (even though he's a lousy filmmaker).. maybe his newer movies (Tunnel Rats for instance) will be better.
