Michael Bay's Explosive Victoria's Secret Commercial

Well over 50% of Michael Bay's bag of tricks are on display in this new video. With Victoria's Secret, you'd expect Bay to use hot babes. So there's half of his moviemaking magic. But Bay also works in a classic propeller airplane, a motorcycle, the desert, and - what else - an explosion. About the only thing missing is a heavy marketing campaign for this heavy marketing campaign. Seriously: Why the explosion? I'd call it showing off but how does it show anything off we haven't seen before? Of course, it's kind of his signature, and what kind of artist doesn't have a signature? The song's cool, the models kind of go without saying, and it's all well-photographed and sexy. In fact, this is what Michael Bay used to do for a living (and some would say he hasn't moved too far past it in the 15 years since). He doesn't care what we think, of course.

Despite his talents...you have to give the guy some props for the life he gets to lead. Well played Michael Bay...well played.

Bay represents everything superficial about our entertainment society. It has nothing to do with raw talent or creativity...just marketability. He's like the Lil' Wayne of the film industry, all the money and publicity...none of the talent or originality. I vote Christopher Nolan reboots the Transformers franchise.

Awhen Burh?

Anyone could do that if given the money... I thought it was pretty crap to be honest, even more crap than his flicks (besides Tranny2 which is the worst thing I have seen in some time).
