    Oh f*ck that! Sgt. Rock has to be in World War II. Warner Bros. may be abandon the WWII because of potential racism? Bullshit.

    They probably don't see any marketing value in another WWII movie. Instead they may try to make it modern so that the movie can connect with the youths who have grown up watching the Afghan and Iraq War.

    Genius:), especially the pros/cons for McG's Dollhouse:). Also Abrams doing Terminator would be fascinating and I seem to remember reading a parody script for Bay's Dark Knight a while back. It was nothing but a constant circling slow mo shot of Gordon and Batman standin up until...the Pentagon exploded. #transformers

    All of the ideas sound like they would be awesome except for McG and Dollhouse. I only have two words for that: Fuck McG! The guy is given too much credibility like M. Night, why these guys get handed awesome franchises to take incredible liberties with is beyond me. Of course we haven't seen The Last Airbender but we all know it won't be as awesome as the cartoon. #transformers

    Unless he gets hired as a security guard, Michael Bay needs to be banned from going anywhere near a movie studio. Bryan Singer doesn't need to direct another movie. He needs to be hired to work on other people's movies so he can direct the 20 minute monologues in which the leaders of teams of heroes explain each and every hero's powers and abilities. McG needs to start using a more professional sounding name. I don't care if it was a family nickname, I can't take any professional seriously when their professional name sounds like something you would order at a McDonald's run by "gangstas". Christopher Nolan should direct Batman movies for the rest of his career and I don't care what anyone has to say about moral ambiguity and the nihilistic Joker. Those were the best elements in Nolan's Batman movies. JJ Abrams can reboot any franchise he wants...as soon as he learns not to use lens flares in every scene. I'm actually kind of ambivalent about Orci and Kurtzman. They need to go to psychologists to deal with their daddy issues and stop foisting them on the audience.

    Does anyone else think we live in an alternate dimension where we actually got all the wacky director choices? There's gotta be someone on Earth-392 thinking "How could anyone but Wes Anderson direct Battlestar Galactica? And if Kevin Smith didn't do Lord of the Rings, how would you get that hilarious banter when Saruman and Sauron make fun of Wormtounge?" #transformers
