I'll try to see this next week. Hopefully my eye will be better by then.
I wouldn't condescend about people's hypothetical interest in Bay if I were you You most likely enjoy Christopher Nolan's work because he is a genuienly good film maker who usually makes intelligent films with weight and depth to them, even when it comes to a mainstream project such as his Batman movies.
Well, according to his regular cinematographer Wally Pfister, Nolan loves Michael Bay movies:
I'm not saying that ergo you should now enjoy Michael Bay's work, or that Bay's work is now in a better light because a superior film maker is a fan of them. But if Chris Nolan - the internet's poster boy example of a good, intelligent film maker - can seemingly enjoy Michael Bay's brand of popcorn fluff, then so can anybody else, and these people are not any stupider or somehow lacking in taste for it, in my opinion.
