Michael Bay The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of The Year Award

Michael Bay is the winner of The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of 2007 Award.

Michael Bay directed the horrible summer blockbuster Transformers (2007) and destroyed the classic science fiction franchise. He ignored the producers’ suggestions and decided to stick with a broken script and make the Transformers look like metal skeletons instead of robots.

According to Bay, “Tom Desanto proceeded to tell me how much he had problems with the robot designs and script issues. I realized he was worlds apart in my vision. I said thank you very much and then showed him my office door… I never spoke creatively with Don Murphy. I read his notes kind of trashing the script… he knew I was not going to talk creative with him.”

Michael Bay has directed other masterpieces like Bad Boys (1995), Armageddon (1998), and Pearl Harbor (2001). He is also directing the upcoming Transformers 2 scheduled for release in the U.S. on June 26, 2009. Great.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of The Year Award

Tom Cruise is the winner of The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of 2006 Award.

In an April 2006 interview with GQ conducted while his wife Katie Holmes was pregnant, Tom Cruise said, “I’m going to eat the placenta.” Four months later, Paramount ended its 14 year relationship with Cruise’s production company. We’re not surprised.
