Michael Bay is everything that's wrong with the film industry. His movies appeal to the lowest common denominator. Explosions are all his movies have going for them. Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys, and Transformers are terrible. We have enough bad tv, movies, and James Patterson books polluting the shelves of our stores and the minds of people everywhere. I'm begging anyone who takes the time to read this article NOT to use Michael Bay as a muse. PLEASE!!! What's next, Keanu Reeves as a role model for actors? You make some good points throughout your article, but Michael Bay should not be anyone's muse in any way. Michael Bay as a muse? Michael Bay is everything that’s wrong with the film industry.

Here's page 6: "Then the townhouse with the terra-cotta roof exploded into flames." You were right, I just HAD to keep reading! :) ~Jim Al, thought of this post immediately when I picked up an older pprbk for lite reading, “3rd Degree” by James Patterson (w/Andrew Gross).

Even if the ending is predictable, we'd still enjoy it if the ride to get to the ending was exciting! @Rita: It's pretty universal... whether it's a romance, a whodunnit mystery, or even an existential journey, the story can always use a little more awesome explosion ;) @Cath: Yeah, that’s the beauty of stories, isn’t it?

I can see 20 movies running simultaneosly in your mind, forcing the reader to do the same. All of the compenents - putting the world in danger, having an unescapable escape, the explosions (x 10), the beautiful female mechanic! Tell me please, has anybody ever seen you and Michael Bay in the same place? I would venture to guess that it wouldn't be possible! Rita Oh, Al,

I love those explosive endings where there's a huge battle between the hero and the villain. We always know the hero's going to win, but it's still exciting. Hi Al – these are great tips.

I love the stories where you just can't put it down because you really want to know what will happen to the world that's in danger. @Seamus: That would be a brilliant story. It might have to be a short story or else we'd be too exhausted to finish reading it due to sensory overload :) . @Marelisa: I’m with you.
