When Harrison Ford can't do any more Indy movies...

you're kidding? ffs BAY, can't you keep your grubby hands off good franchises

he directed Friday the 13th reboot and now this...though i've not seen Friday the 13th yet, i've not got high hopes

Me neither.

Who does?

They should let J.J. Abrams revamp that.

only problem i'd have with that, is he'd probably try and throw a twist in about time travel and an alternative reality that influences the reality the film is supposed to be in...

Maybe. He'll throw in a monster at least.

a relatively unexplained and unseen monster that appears once every 30mins or more to be met with mass gun fire and hysteria

Sounds good.

Sounds toooooo much like the ignorant Bay treatment of the Decepticons.

I definitely forsee this transforming into Bay efflunce.

it could also loosely meet JJ Abrams criteria for a film, but we seem to have no qualms with him

Because he also applies a certain degree of depth of character and a surprising narrative arc. That sorta makes him a good director, where as Bay is more a loud director.

that's true. although, there was only slight character development in cloverfield. the first 30mins was character development, the rest of the film seemed frantic and slightly disjointed at some parts.

then again, everytime i think about cloverfield i focus on the bit when they're walking through the subway tunnels and the parasites start attacking after the camera guy starts talking about flaming hobo's...and then i start thinking of a parody of cloverfield called Flaming Hobo's and the parasites are replaced with flaming hobo's...it's funny...and i'm ranting again WTF?!

Indeed. Cloverfield was quite an experience, I think.

And still way more intriguing than any Bay works past "The Rock".

Bay isnt a patch on Damon Lindelfhof's ass.

The fact that LOST, and the last Star Trek were more the work of he rather than Abrahams, is testimony to the fact that Abrahams is a smart money man, whereas Lindelhof is the real seal of quality, it would seem. And to this would explain the big jump in quality between the afformentioned, and Cloverfield.

Bay is just a tosser though.

The name is Abrams... Abrahams is the guy who worked with the Zucker boys, but wasn't that funny.

Yeah I make that mistake all the time....meh...

You're forgiven.

or are you?!

Only time (and further typos/general mistakes) will tell... 😛

indeed they will

I admire the efficiency.

If humankind was as devoted to finding the worst terrorists in the world, as they are clamping down on spelling errors,
we'd have found, caught and executed Bin Laden years ago.
