'Transformers' director stalks off stage at Samsung event

Altogether a maelstrom of mediocrity, then!

You should watch the video. Hilarious.

Complete opposite to Bill O'Reilly's "We'll do it live", but just as funny!

'Transformers' director stalks off stage at Samsung event

I think you meant he 'stormed' off stage.

Who's going to be the first to suggest Chinese/North Korean sabotage? ; )

I guess when you rely so much on CGI you'll bomb when you're live... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptJblPp10zA

Dear god, that's one of the most awkward things I've ever seen

This was great lol

Donchaknow he can only express his thoughts and emotions thru explosions and SFX!

Samsung should had realized that a simple talking presentation won't do!

his movies suck and now it turns out that he sucks too.

USinJapan2,

Thanks for the link. I stand corrected. He did stalk off stage. In fact, I think 'skulked' would even be more appropriate. The man could not manage basic small talk without a teleprompter? I hope he did not get paid for that.

"I guess live shows aren’t my thing.”

Guess not.

As much as I hate Bay I understand why he did it. He's given a script to talk about a product he prolly doesn't know anything about and when it fudges up the guy puts him on the spot. Either way it's embarrassing for him. I'd bounce too.

That's not what happened. Bay was the one who jumped the gun and skipped over the host's intro. Obviously the teleprompter operator tried to move forward to catch up to where Bay had skipped in the dialogue but then he went back. He obviously couldn't talk naturally off of a teleprompter so why in hell did he ignore the teleprompter and start in on ad lib to begin with? Bay is the one who obviously screwed up an otherwise carefully scripted (and teleprompted) presentation so IMO he really owes Samsung an apology.

Didn't know that. In that case, my hatred for Bay continues.

In that case, my hatred for Bay continues.

As does mine.

Pretty hard to say anything much about a silly curved TV.

Pathetic is what I'd call his ineptitude at simple ad-lib speech.

The clip was shown in every country across the world, on their respective breakfast TV shows, including here in Australia.

Samsung must be loving the publicity and scouring the talent pool for actors/presenters known to suffer from stage fright.

Aizo,

Why do you claim to hate this guy?

@AKBFan lol

With the teleprompter failing the irony of it is the TechSmartt logo on the video.
