    If it was up to Mr. Bay, he’d decline to direct the movie on the basis of it only having one big explosion at the very end.

    Direct quote from wikipedia:

    Reviewers often criticize Bay’s films for relying heavily on visual effects and suffering from clichéd dialogue, flimsy and formulaic narratives, numerous scientific and historical inaccuracies, illogical plot developments, and lack of character depth.[54][55][56] Bay contends that he is not discouraged by such criticism and that he aims to provide enjoyable “popcorn” entertainment to movie-going audiences.[46] Stating that he is “a filmmaker, not a scientist”, he creates his own fiction based on actual science or history to make the messages he sends “more exciting”.[57]

    Actual photo info: I dunno, I imagine you folks will know more. It’s a young Oppenheimer presenting, I think at the Manhattan project.

    It’s Michael Bay - are you sure that wasn’t for a shopping cart bumping into a parked Volkswagen Beetle?
