That said... Transformers 4's domestic take this year was down lot from the previous movies -- $107m less than TF3 -- and while BayTurtles did well, $191m domestic against a $125m production budget (and an undisclosed marketing budget) isn't exactly record-breaking. It's too soon to call it a trend, but it's possible the shine's coming off the Bay apple stateside. Overseas, however? He's doing better than ever. It'll be interesting to see how all this plays out next round.

Oh definitely - I'm in total agreement, Bry. I don't understand it, but whatever he's doing, enough people like it that his career isn't going to trend downwards anytime in the foreseeable future.
Studios don't care about quality - they just care about the bucks that he's raking in. Hence why I would be very surprised if Bay weren't handed another 80's franchise in the coming years. By the studios' reasoning, Bay + 80s franchise = money, tickets sold and toy sales.

Yep, as long as the movie gets millions of dollars I don't think the studios care. I saw this coming though I forgot the Razzies

The people who constantly proclaim their lack of caring are the ones who care the most. If you care enough to tell people you don't care, then you care too much. Just pointing it out for ya, Chief.

EDIT: Oh my god, someone already did it. And it was Dan Schoening, the artist on IDW's Ghostbusters (and TMNT/Ghostbusters)!

Almost everything since has been a remake or a reboot. For some reason, no one's gone after Pokemon...I know nothing about it, but wasn't it huge in the 90's? EDIT: LOL SON! |

TMNT snubbed by the Academy, not nominated for Best Short Live Action...

Plus, Pokemon is owned by Nintendo. They don't let anyone get their grubby mitts on their property.

Actually, Sony Pictures got rights to make an animated Super Mario Bros movie from Nintendo.

Though, on the topic of Nintendo: I can imagine Legend of Zelda and Pixar-style Mario movies turning out really well if a really talented team put the effort in. Which is a long shot. But there's a ton of potential. Quote:

IMO Razzies should be only for the "so awful, it's not even bad enough to be funny." While I'd admit that the Michael Bay movie was below average, it has some redeeming moments and I feel that the Razzies are more for show than purpose, and they choose the noms to draw ratings rather than pick obscure films/actors that few people ever heard of. Did you know that in 2010, Sandra Bullock won a Razzie and an Oscar?
