Yahoo! News has reported that Michael Bay is done with the Transformers franchise.
Here’s the quote that really stood out/surprised me/made me wonder if he’s ever seen any of his own movies: “I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions.” The dateline for this article is June 18, so this is not an April Fool’s gag.
He added that if the Transformers franchise goes to a third film, they’ll have to find another director.
“It’s easy to go shoot an art movie in a winery in the South of France,” Bay said. “But people have no idea how hard it is to create something like Transformers. They (the critics) review me before they’ve even seen the movie.”

…and critics don’t review *other* movies before seeing them?
That said, I’m trying to wrap my head around a Michael Bay movie without explosions in it.

I remember he said that he wasn’t going to do Transformers II since Transformers was going to be out on HD DVD instead of BlueRay; it will only be a matter of time until he is back on TFIII.

“I need to do something totally divergent, something without any explosions.”
*fat sack of money dropped in front of him*
“I am excited to be a part of Transformers III: Return of that XBox Decepticon”

“They review me before they’ve even seen the movie.”
I believe it. Go read the negative reviews for the first movie on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s all harping about what a terrible director Bay is, not actual critiquing of the film itself.

Well, it’s easy to review a movie from a director who’s biggest claim to fame is… wait for it… explosions.

No he’s not.

Thanks for that! My dad recently harvested a garden full of tomatoes before the winter really set in, and I found myself the proud owner of two or three buckets worth! Of course I couldnt eat them all, but I did find a website full of even more tomato recipe at this site. A whole website dedicated the topic!! Crazy what you can find on the internet nowadays!!
