@RXdash78 I agree...in a way. I like his movies. I don't see what people have the problem with. They're good, fun movies. No massive thinking, or morally questioning, just an honest fun film.

@Anyone saying Australia isn't like this: You've never been to Australia. It really is like a Mad Max movie crossed with Crocodile Dundee

@People who live in Australia: Don't say anything, it's always hilarious when people think I'm a rugged bushranger because I live in Australia

@Bartman954 you mean including himself?

[RXdash78]

@Bartman954 Because most people are sheep who do what other tell them to. Honestly I've found bay's movies (barring t1) to be consistently entertaining. Not GOOD, but fun. There's nothing wrong with making movies for fun's sake which is pretty much what he does. And as this ad shows, he is completely aware of this.
