I dunno, I ran out of ideas and decided to write horror movies. Haha.

That's interesting because Michael Bay ran out of ideas and he started producing them.

I'm pretty sure that's a small shanty cove of the coast of Southern Australia. Anyway, yes, he produced...

He also did the Hitcher, Amityville Horror, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Unborn (just came out) then did Transformers and Pearl Harbor. He directed Bad Boys II, The Island, Armageddon, The Rock..
All I'm going to say is a handful of the movies would have been better with someone else directing, or producing it. All those movies sucked, because they're over produced, or not directed well.

What does "over produced' mean?

It means it was over done.
For example, Amityville Horror. The end scene with the girl who screams? Okay. Simple, and scary.. until it makes weird fucking noises, then the screen flickers, and she disappears. That's not scary, that was WAY over done to scare you and it turned out to look stupid. He just kept adding on to it, and adding on to it. Andrew Douglas was like "He kept taking scenes and just added on more special effects, and more special effects until it was something different then what I had planned."
He does the same shit with Pearl Harbor and Transformers. Way over the top.
Not to mention it's not really original shit either.
Same thing as over producing a song.

Michael Bay movie:
Plot: No plot. People run around, people blow shit up, people run around. Dialogue? Nope. Meaningless. Oh, and blow MORE shit up. No, take it over the top, I want cars flying everywhere, buildings coming down, and when something slightly scary happens, I want it to be all over the screen with fifty times the sound effects. Heartwarming? No. Intriguing? Not in the slightest. Visual? Uhm sure. But it doesn't take much directing, or producing when everything is CGI, or blowing up.
There's better action films than what Michael Bay brings to the table. I'd rather have the movie I'm watching have a plot, maybe something that has something to do with why I'm watching it. He's a hacked music director, that had two lucky breaks in a row, and from there on out, he has taken great stories, and awesome fucking scripts, and turned them into pure shit. Pure. Shit. I'll say the original screenplay to Transformers was fucking incredible, before Speilberg got his fucking hands on it along with Bay.
I think if he tried he may make a fucking movie with some sort of substance, but his movies are just glorified summer "action" blow shit up, guns, fire, and explosions with no plot. I guess a lot of people just want more out of movies than empty, soulless films.
