I said I didn't express myself very well. I meant to say "Michael Bay and others like him". I didn't mean to say everyone in the industry shares that attitude.
You and I have different priorities, Ron. I also have a FP setup with 5.1 sound, but the way I see it, the technology serves the movies, not vice versa. When I watch a movie with good subwoofer effects and surround sound, it's only interesting to me if it's done in support of a good, well...
If only Bay (and the industry in general) cared about finding decent scripts, instead of spending so much time and energy on sound and visual FX, explosions, 40 foot trailers for the stars, etc.
