He cares about story and dialogue (check). He doesn't hire actresses because the teens in the audience will want **** her to death (check). His movies are smart (dbl-check). His movies never made me feel insulted or worried about society as a whole. His movies shoot action so you understand what's going on, and features very few explosions.<br /><br />The only thing I can compliment Michael Bay about is supposedly he works hard to make each frame of the movie look good. It's the only thing he has in common with DC.Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148220042850402796.post-89343408786042851162012-05-02T10:33:58.914+05:302012-05-02T10:33:58.914+05:30Is Michael Bay the right analogy? :P

I love this guy, and even when I don't like his movies or he genuinely repulses me, I still respect that. He's a genius.

I'm glad you liked the film, it's definetly one of the most difficult to go through visually-wise from Cronenberg's works, though this one has easy to follow story - with Videodrome is much harder and Naked Lunch is the movie I still don't understand :) Goldblum was wonderful in The Fly, I consider his performance here even better and more influential for sci-fi genre than what Sigourney Weaver did in first Alien movie.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.com
