hehheheAssMan said:It looks like Bay is becoming the next Ratner with talking out of his ass & stuff
DorkyFresh said:my prediction...
1 - POTC3
2 - Spider-Man 3 (i think general audience is getting tired of superheroes)
3 - Harry Potter
4 - Transformers
but all 4 will be getting my money.

thegameq said:I think Bay may be in for a surprise. He's not giving movie audiences (casual audiences especially) enough credit. Word of mouth can hurt a film in a hurry. If word gets out that Tfs is just another typical Bay film ("Was it good? It was alright. It was done buy the guy that did that movie The Island from last year. Oh, ok. Nah, I think I'll just wait for the DVD/Cable/Satellite.") it may not do the huge numbers Paramount is hoping for.
On the other hand, if they are just looking for a quick cash in.......they'll probably succeed.
Amen to that.CFlash said:, and THE HITCHER (a movie that does NOT in any way whatsoever need to be remade)
CFlash said:Both those guys- in the $1 billion stratosphere- it doesn't much matter at that point. They both deserve it too IMO (both have been brilliant sets of movies IMHO). I think Pirates has the upper hand because of the cliffhanger and it's been a few years since Spidey... and the general public may have sorta lost interest (or not).
It'll be interesting to see if Bay can reach anywhere near those levels. His glory 1990's days are way behind him---- different times.

DorkyFresh said:why do people insist on trying to pass their opinions off as facts?

you're right...i read it wrong. in my head it sounded like you were trying to pass your opinion (Pirates is so 'meh') off as fact...my fault.cryptic name said:the popularity of Pirates is a fact.

CFlash said:I think that's exactly it. I mean, Michael Bay owns a whole movie company dedicated to the "Quick Cash-in." They're the ones who have been churning out a whole slew of classic horror remakes like Texas Chainsaw, Amityville Horror, and THE HITCHER (a movie that does NOT in any way whatsoever need to be remade) and now even the original Friday the 13th is in production (I mean, WTF!)
None of those remakes are particularly good (tho whatchable) and none are "big" box office successes.... but they make a profit. And, that's what it's all about. F* the art.
