Quick question to @Yoda or any mod... is there some way I can cash in or redeem those "reputation" points?
I will tell you how to cash them in! The fee for the information is 50,000 reputation points.

That only costs 45,000 points. I am guessing you would pick up the extra 5k as some sort of finders fee? How transparent can someone be?!!



For 50,000 you get to use the f-word one time, but only if it's about a Michael Bay movie.

I've only seen Pearl Harbor and Transformers out of those, and both were terrible

This. Same watchlist for me, with just those two films, and I didn't finish Pearl Harbor. Oddly, I thought 13 Hours was pretty entertaining, but that is a different decade.



Society ennobler, last seen in Medici's Florence
It seems that I'm a bit late here...

To start with the one pointers, none of these is mine. I've seen only three of them, back in the years - Anger Management (2003), Frida (2002) and Swimming Pool (2003). Surely, the latest one deserves much more in this party, just the names of Charlotte Rampling and Charles Dance are enough to make the movie a must for a top 100 list of a decade. Unfortunately, I couldn't give it some points in the very short ballot of 25-titles.

You ready? You look ready.
Good ole Michael Bay. I remember when I thought The Rock was peak cinema. Now I can't watch that movie without getting nauseous because of all those freaking camera cuts. Just pick an angle and stick with it for God's sake.

I don't see why people hate on the first Transformers. Obviously, the sequels prove that these movies can be so much worse. I think the problem is (based on reviews and comments) that the whole franchise ends up being a one-trick pony.


Besides, Pearl Harbor's action war scenes are phenomenal.

I still enjoy it, mostly because of Ed Harris, but Bay has a tendency to direct every scene as if it was a climatic showdown. It gets tedious after a while.

I agree about PH's war scenes, but 30 minutes of great action doesn't overcome 2 hours of awful acting and cringy dialogue.

As for Transformers, I've never seen any of the sequels so I don't have that context, but I seriously think the first one is one of the worst films I've ever seen; and I say this as someone who was a huge fan of the 80's cartoon and the 80's animated film.

I haven’t seen any of those. Judging by the other responses I guess I should consider myself fortunate.

I liked Swimming Pool a lot, but it just totally slipped my mind as I compiled my list. Not sure it would have made it, but it was a fine film...

Compare Bumblebee to the first Transformers - like night and day!
