Oh FFS. You know what they say about movies released in January don’t you? They’re usually the stinkers of the bunch. In February its a sure bet. I’ll be damned if I’m going out in 2 to 3 feet of snow to pay good money to watch that shit.

Carly Fiorina sees the trailer “with her own eyes” and demands Obama’s and Hillary’s arrest in 3, 2, 1 …

Benghazi was always a right-wing fetish; nobody else cares. Guys, a heads up: don’t take your hot date to see it – you’ll never get laid.

Read elsewhere that Bay was incensed that he had to BEG for another 10 million to finish his ‘film’. A man like this has 10 million lying around the house … if he had to beg for the money it’s because the film is either a dog or he is not committed to it.
