For those of you who may not know about it yet, we’ve started a new sub-site of The Movie Blog called “The Movie Blog Community” where you guys can sign up and put up your own posts for people in the community to read and comment on. It’s been amazing so far! This story comes from the Community site:

Michael Bay… Love him or hate him, he is about to join a very elite club. His is about to become the 13th director whose library of films as grossed over 1 BILLION dollars in the US.
Personally, i don’t HATE Bay the way some seem to. He has made his share of crap… (Pearl Harbor was ass, Bad Boys 2 was garbage, and The Island fell flat…), BUT he has also put out some winners (The Rock rocks and Transformers was pretty damn sweet IMHO…). Not to mention he has a few films that aren’t the greatest ever, but semi-guilty pleasure like Armageddon and Bad Boys. So while i will never (yet) call him a GREAT director, he is almost always a FUN director.
So, he will join true greats like Spielberg, Howard, Eastwood, and Cameron in the Billionaires club. Thoughts anyone?
