Michael Bay's teleprompter fails, he cries and storms off stage like a child. - GoFuckYourself.com

Marcus Aurelius · 01-06-2014, 06:30 PM

What a loser - couldn't wing saying cool thing about what you do for a living and how that might look great on a big ass tv?

What a moron. Megan Fox was right.

That was an embarrassing FAIL.

"Hopelessly awkward".

MediaGuy · 01-06-2014, 07:00 PM

WTF... does he end up doing a comeback?

:D

kane · 01-06-2014, 07:01 PM

The first time Bay has ever let the lack of a script stop him.

baddog · 01-06-2014, 07:04 PM

Public speaking is not everyone's forte I guess

The Heron · 01-06-2014, 07:04 PM

That was awesome

2MuchMark · 01-06-2014, 07:06 PM

Ugh poor guy!! That must have been soul crushing for him.

Anyway, MICHAEL BAY IS A FILM GENIUS and he deserves all of our love and respect.

dyna mo · 01-06-2014, 07:11 PM

the only decent movie he's ever done was the rock, *maybe* armegeddon.

other than that he's over-hyped. transformers? pfft. 3rd grade level entertainment.

certainly not for adults.

Michael Bay apologizes, sort of (from MB's Blog):

Quote:

Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES ? I was about to speak for Samsung for this awesome Curved 105-inch UHD TV. I rarely lend my name to any products, but this one is just stellar. I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP?s intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down ? then I walked off. I guess live shows aren?t my thing.

But I?m doing a special curved screen experience with Samsung and Transformers 4 footage that will be traveling around the world.

Michael

Big time Director can't speak without a script, and loses his cool - epic meltdown.

Michael Bay may be considered a hack by film snobs, but he's accomplished more than all of us put together 100 times over. You try being in charge of 3 Transformers movies.

Agreed. And then there's this

http://www.celebritynetworth.com/ric...bay-net-worth/

So he went on stage to push a new TV format (curved wide screen), and the prompter fucked up, and he ran of stage. No big deal. Most everyone is scared to speak in public and I'm sure the guy's completely embarrassed. I bet the comedy kings will have fun with that video for a while...

Had he even GLANCED at the script on his charter plane while coming in, he could have spewed a couple talking points, maybe made a joke, and left gracefully - even if crazy early.

But no, he couldn't be bothered and made a total fucking ASS of himself. Sucks to be Michael Bay.

MaDalton · 01-07-2014, 05:39 AM

Oh I don't know. The recent Pain and Gain was alright and Bad Boys is an amazing movie.

RebelR · 01-07-2014, 08:55 AM

Pretty sure that what was on the teleprompter, was just a random series of action sequences and explosions anyways.

On a serious note... how hard is it to verbally express why you enjoy doing what you do?

I'm surprised at the guys inability to just talk. That speaks volumes about him as an individual. He's a flake.

Shap · 01-07-2014, 10:02 AM

I don't think this makes him a moron. I'm seeing a lot of misleading titles on sites talking about this. The guy looked like he froze and didn't know what to do. He didn't storm out, he didn't lose his mind he just froze from what I see. Doesn't make him a moron in my books.

If your litmus test on ones character is their ability to speak publicly Hitler must be your all time greatest hero.

dyna mo · 01-07-2014, 10:30 AM

Not at all. Public speaking is not easy, but Bay... could have at least attempted a graceful exit.

Almost every person there was there in part to see him speak, and I'm sure all of them would have understood. Grace under fire. No matter how shitty things seem, grace under fire.

People remember things like that for a while, but they never ever forget when someone folds in to pressure and falls like a house of cards.

Oh and just for ... no reason I guess... if you like the Transformers movies, you will like this

it LOOK and SOUNDS like Transformers (No I mean it REALLY looks and sounds like Transformers), but its a Peter Berg movie. It's just as cheesy and cliched as Transformers and is just as cool to watch. Just check your brain at the door.

based on this reply and your next one re: battleship, it's clear you didn't even watch the trailer!

Poppy · 01-07-2014, 12:50 PM

Yes, he fucked up, but what a great fuck up this is IMO for Samsung. Everyone is talking it about it!

Very true. Had he just followed the script and the bit went off without a hitch it likely would have gotten very little publicity. Now it is all over the place.
