Michael Bay uses an iPad

Unless you've been entombed for a few decades in a bomb shelter somewhere, sex sells. So if you are using that as your main criteria to discard the works of a variety of actors, directors, etc., then your list will be long and distinguished, and maybe some black and white flicks of Laurel and Hardy or Charlie Chaplin will better suit your tastes. In case you don't know, you are in the minority, and good looking leading men are used just as much, so have a sandwich and some milk, get the stick out, and relax a bit. You may also want to avoid the Spike channel, as you are likely to be extremely offended.
No need to go that far back. The highest grossing films of the last ten years include raunchy little numbers such as Alice in Wonderland, Avatar, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc etc. SEXY!
You're right though, sex does indeed sell, but so do other forms of movie making. Problem is that Bay is a glorified pornographer who lacks talent and therefore stays in the gutter. Your lauding of such a hack merely helps to keep him in business. On the plus side, anything that keeps trash-loving proles off the streets (apologies if this description includes yourself) may help keep the crime (and teen pregnancy) rate down. Thanks for helping prove my point, keep up the good work.
It's a Hollywood requirement to milk every last dollar out of these already lame franchises. Otherwise they'd have to think of original ideas. That could take years.
Wow...so let me get this straight, anyone who likes to watch movies like Transformers, Armageddon, or horror flicks indirectly contributes to crime and teen pregnancy? LOL..does this fear come with a side of fire and brimstone and a guy with horns and pitchfork? Or how about ensuring that we all run back to the cave when lightning strikes, as the gods are surely angry with our behavior.
Good God...Anyway, thanks OP for the pic. It's an iPad on a movie set instead of drab ole Starbucks after all. I wouldn't even be offended if it were Ron Jeremy playing with his iPad. It's a versatile device. LOL
Fairly certain God was pretty upset about Transformers 2. It's in the Bible, how that's for prophetic accuracy?
Who mentioned horror movies? Are you listening to the voices dude?
Anyway, my theory goes like this: The average IQ in prison is lower than that of the outside population. Only idiots could actually enjoy a Michael Bay film, therefore it follows that these people have low IQs and are statistically more likely to commit crime and end up in jail. I think the procreation part is obvious so I won't patronise you by spelling it out.
Also, you unfortunately failed to spot my literary reference. Go and read 1984 by George Orwell (*warning* there aren't any pictures in this book- maybe audiobook instead?) and then get back to me.
But just to speed things along a little. Here's the wikipedia (I know, dumbing down affects us all) entry for Proles. This quote has helpfully been included...
Sound familiar?
I had no idea who Michael Bay was before I clicked on this thread. Just sayin. I guess it is neat that Hollywood is finding uses for the iPad but why wouldn't they?
Michael Bay needs to learn how to make a truly GOOD movie. Maybe he should take lessons from Christopher Nolan online with his iPad.
LOL...you speak about Michael Bay like you know the man and his works, and you missed the fact that this guy produced The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Friday the 13th (2009), Amityville Horror in 2005, and The Hitcher in 2007. So yes, the reference to horror flicks was relevant. I presume that your 'IQ Prison Theory' applies there as well right? From the sound of it ,you only focus on the 'sex' laden material. Kind of begs a couple questions about you doesn't it? If you can't figure out the inference, don't worry about it. If you can, then you may have something to worry about, that even literary references from socialist/anarchist Eric Arthur Blair won't help you overcome.
Regardless of the dude (i had no clue who he was, nor have i seen the movies), it's pretty cool seeing it used during CONTENT CREATION to be CONSUMED later on the iPad 
Beautiful. You know you're in desperado territory when you dredge up not one, not two, not three, but FOUR remakes in attempt to prove your crap little point. The 'sex' laden material as you so helpfully concede just happens to be the stuff he directed. Perhaps this is what you were inferring? Begs a couple of questions though, doesn't it?
And apologies for trying to use Orwell in my arguments, perhaps I should quote a tabloid celebrity next to help you understand?
Just to point out how low you'll stoop in this hopeless crusade, here are the rotten tomatoes scores for your "horror" movies...
Texas Chainsaw: Beginning 13%
Friday 13th 26%
Amityville 24%
The Hitcher 20%
Highbrow stuff as I'm sure you'll agree
You seem to have failed to understand why I brought the horror category into the equation, big surprise, and you got your answer. It's blatantly evident that you don't thoroughly understand a topic before spouting off about it.
Nice run from Orwell too. Your rebuttal seems to be skin deep there as well. Spouting off again before 'thinking'? Wikipedia only gets you so far huh? I also like the way that you repeat what I've already said. That's an indicator of one who's run out of steam, so my advice would be to stick with the Rotten Tomatoes statistics, and stay away from the more complicated things.
Let's move on....
HAHA! Stay away from more complicated things? You think a discussion on the merits (or lack thereof) of Michael Bay is complicated?
Getting accused of being skin deep by a Bay apologist is hilarious. And therein lies the crux. No matter how much you try to spin things, you're arguing in favour of a director of terrible films who has a penchant for producing shocking retreads of classic horrors.
This in a forum where you've probably spent years trying to present some sort of cultured persona to the less educated members who sign on to read your missives. And yet here you are, exposed as the dude who loves the man behind Bad Boys 2.
You're right Sir, we should move on while you have some dignity remaining.
Thanks for sharing this with us. It's pretty cool that you were able to take these pics. How did you find out where the shoot was taking place?
Regardless of all nonsense going on here, it's awesome he's using the iPad for movie making.
Also those are great pics. Looks like they're from a DSLR.
And Transformers 3 cannot be worse than the second one. Even Michael Bay and the producer admitted they messed up that one. Bay

Yeah, I gotta admit that it's intriguing. My guess is that they are either using the pdf viewer for storyboards or they've jailbroken it and have their own software on there.
