I hate that Michael Bay made shitty versions of Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Transformers—hell, shitty versions of actual historical events like Pearl Harbor—and is still making shitty movies off of fan-tested successes enough to skate by and collect a pay check.
My childhood will, as you mentioned, always be my childhood. And I'm fine with that and whatever comes out. That does not mean that Michael Bay doesn't suck though.
If we're talking TMN turd~les, we must mention the "Coming Out Of Our Shells" Tour. Also Bobby Roberts and Drunken G B- will they or won't they already!
