Michael Bay Praises Blu-ray's Success

Outspoken director Michael Bay is once again singing the praises of Blu-ray, this time in celebration of the recent Blu-ray successes. At the Visual Effects Society's sixth annual award show, where he presented the award for animated character in a motion picture, he remarked, "Blu-ray's better, and I told everyone. I was very vocal about it. I knew HD [DVD] was not going to make it."
Bay has personally supervised Blu-ray transfers for his films 'The Rock' and 'Pearl Harbor' and says it has resulted in a sharper image that is "closer to what it should look like." He also isn't afraid of grain: "Yeah, there's some grain, pushing film, shooting at night. There's actually some grain in 'Transformers'. We pushed it just a little too much. I don't mind grain. Grain has a vibe."
He also spoke about the prospects of bringing his film 'Armageddon' to Blu-ray, but mentioned that it would need a brand new master. "The Armageddon [master] was burned in a fire apparently, so we've got to re-master the whole movie," noted Bay.

This man is my hero or something. EVERY movie can benefit from having more random explosions.
Okay, not every movie. Michael Bay movies already have enough random explosions. |

The master of the movie Armageddon was burned in a fire. That is beyond ironic.
Glad to have such a heavy hitter in our ring. |
