 Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event  Quote: Director Michael Bay introduced Samsung's new massive 150-inch curved TV set at CES today, flubbed his lines halfway through his speech, and then inexplicably walked off stage.
He was supposed to have a scripted conversation about TV and big, bold images in movies.
He was introduced with some "Transformers" footage, walked on stage, and then began talking about how he creates worlds ... and then stopped. He sank into silence. He said something about not being able to see the monitor. Perhaps he was referring to the teleprompter.
And then he said "I'm sorry ..." and he walked off stage, leaving Samsung exec Joe Stinziano, EVP of Samsung America, to ad lib his way out of it.
Totally bizarre.
Stinziano was a pro: He tried to prompt Bay into ad libbing and just talking like a normal human being about how a curved TV might improve movies. But Bay wasn't having it. He just walked off.
We caught up with Bay following the show. He said he lost his place on the teleprompter.
This was Samsung's biggest marketing event of the (admittedly young) year. Not cool, Michael Bay! _________________   1. The Lost City of Z - 2. A Cure for Wellness - 3. Phantom Thread - 4.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event Don't take a payday if you can't complete the mission. Embarassing. They should have hired Quentin Tarantino instead. We all know he can talk like a human being.
Probably was about to pee his pants he ran off that stage so fast.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event He came when he saw the TV and didn't want people to notice the stain on his pants.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event He went out with the intention of reading something. When the teleprompter was off, it threw him off and he couldn't get back in the swing of things. It's normal.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event People aren't clicking on the even curious about some tv that he couldn't even talk about. All the attention is how a director can't even talk about HIMSELF. Samsung what...?

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event I love how people hate on Bay as his film will likely win the WW box office crown this year over many more films that much more hyped on here...

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event Bay is a fool. He didn't intentionally fuck up his act at all. He inadvertently created more publicity for Samsung by being unprofessional. No wonder his career has relied on rehearsed content because he has no idea how to ad-lib.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event Magnus called him a genius, which is implying he actively decided to create this publicity.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event No, you inferred that.
Magnus was just stating a fact.

Re: Michael Bay is a bitch at Samsung event I am not sure what is going on with him. I hope he levels out and hits the ground running again because I dig him. Honestly, it almost has a Joaquin Phoenix/I'm Still Here type feel, as if he and Daniel Clowes are secretly having a laugh as they orchestrate a shallow media controversy.
