Michael Bay knew Blu-ray was gonna win all along

tf3

Just a friendly “told you so” from Michael Bay to all y’all.

Bay, whose movies have brought perpetual peace to Earth, was a vocal proponent of the Blu-ray format, so much so that he threatened to walk out of Transformers 2 if Transformers was only released on HD DVD, a statement he later retracted. Said Bay, “Am I thrilled? It really wasn’t my fight, but remember what I said in the press? I was kind of saying HD [DVD]’s going to lose… No one believed me”

So he picked the correct format out of a total choice of two. Bravo. (Even though plain jane DVD is still on top, as Mr. Joel Johnson’s amazing chart points out.)

So yeah, Bay got the Blu-ray prediction right. So did every other 15-year-old on every message board ever.

I picked the wrong one from the start - but I’m not Michael Bay.

Bay is a loser, he has no directing skills. Yea transformers was cool, but it was mostly cgi, what skill does that take??? The real talent is the cgi guys who made it happen.
South Park pokes fun a him, when they take a trip to imagination land, they ask him for ideas and all he can come up with is a huge explosion done with cgi, boom boom bang.

Aren’t you so smug Michael Bay. You picked that format with the better copy protection - coincidence? I think not. You picked the format that cost consumers more money and isn’t as feature rich as HD DVD. So really did you make the “right” choice?
