What do you get when you combine two of the things straight guys love to look at most? A site like this. Doesn't Michael Bay have a patent on this already?
PS: While we're at it, let me take this opportunity to say that I love Michael Bay's movies, and I do mean that in an entirely un-ironic way. Sometimes one wants to take a break from thinking about Malliavin calculus, the narrative structure of "The Guermantes Way", mereological essentialism or some other such bit of intellectual heavy lifting, and on such occasions there are few things quite as diverting as watching mammarily well-endowed women running in slow motion from huge explosions. Pseudo-intellectual film critics and pretentious wannabe "auteurs" may not like Michael Bay's stuff, but they're precisely the sorts of people for whom the likes of Lars "von" [sic] Trier make unwatchable tripe; car chases, fireballs and scantily-clad women do a fine job for the remaining 99.9% of humanity (or its straight male portion, at any rate). Michael Bay is no hack!
Surely you didn't like 'Pearl Harbour'.

That's actually one of the few Michael Bay movies I haven't seen, and from what I've read it's also the one movie in which he tried to cater to the tastes of the film critics rather than a general audience ...
