Michael Bay can't even talk shit without a teleprompt

Can I have Ops?
Fuckwit.

I could have talked about my job for a couple of minutes for his appearance fee. I mean, he should be used to public speaking so there really is no excuse.

I'm sure the internet is exploding with joy at this, so forgive me for joining in.

He did say the text was too small, I guess he is just used to seeing things more blown up.
 
He actually walked off when he was asked to talk about how the CURVED TV would augment the viewing experience, which I'm sure I also couldn't bullshit through without a teleprompter.

Really? He was describing how he worked. He was asked "tell us what you think"

In hindsight I do feel sorry for him, he obviously had a brain freeze. It's just a bit shocking that someone who has to keep a whole crew waiting on his every word freezes in this way. I found it interesting because I have to "pitch" regularly to (very small) audiences. Don't get me wrong, I do not have the nations press and the internet watching! I am just fascinated by the reaction of leaving stage. I have stumbled, repeated and failed but never left.

I once pitched an idea to a very "bling" product that had some distribution across Europe and Africa. I suggested a hunt for a diamond crap thing and the guy stopped me half way through and said that maybe Diamonds and Africa might not be such a good idea. I knew then that everyone in the room thought I was stupid and should leave. It was awful, but I didn't leave.

I remember my colleagues face to this day, he froze with his mouth open for literally 5 seconds then said nothing else for the remaining 20 minutes. I laugh about it now, but god it was awful.
 
Not sure about the merits of the curve either, I know back in the old days they had a cinema technique that combined three projectors onto one curved screen, but the two cameras on either side pointed slightly away from the first to make it give an impression of seeing stuff out of the corner of your eyes.

A curved screen from one camera isnt going to do the same unless its some kind of fisheye lens, so basically you will be seeing things out of the corner of your eye that should be in front of your eyes, if anything that is probably going to be really distracting.

Plus how big would your living room have to be before you needed an 82 inch tv?
 
I remember that 3-projector technique - I saw it at state fairs back in the 70s/80s. They projected the images inside the walls of domed tents, and the audience stood in the center and watched. The one I saw was called Cinerama, and I remember watching a lot of aerial shots of landscapes from a supposed hang glider's view. It was impressive at the time (40 years ago), although it necessitated standing inside a tent to view it.
 
I viewed an aircraft video in one of those as well. Seemed really impressive at the time, but it was a huge dome (more like a ball or stellar cartography in Generations). Not a tv. Dunno how much you'd really notice the curvature on a screen of this size. Might be good for playing games if you sat really close, but then it'd probably get fuzzy.
