‘Nike Made Me a Shoe’: A Rare Peek Into Michael Bay’s Creative Process

5:50AM STV | For sheer, head-exploding hubris and pride, everyone knows that nothing in the industry rivals the first day of going to work on a Michael Bay film. (Though, to be fair, the thrilling last day of going to work on a Michael Bay film is never far behind.) And bless their hearts, Wal-Mart of all places underwrote an unprecedented first-hand peek of the magic behind the myth in this video from the set. With his custom “Bay-os” (”a/k/a Chaos!”) Nikes all but winged and greased to better aid his propulsive shooting style, the iconic fauxteur brings it all down to Earth with an admonition to have fun, be safe and “make a lot of kids’ dreams around the world.” No Shia sightings here, alas; look for the eventual follow-up from Day 65, this time co-sponsored by Blue Cross and Johnson & Johnson CelebriSplints™ — your pinkie-saving partners in the greater LA area and beyond.

Even Hours of Instant Messaging Can’t Help Us Make Sense of ‘Indiana Jones 4′

2:50AM Defamer Hollywood | Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has been unveiled at last for international critics, and with most verdicts coming in mixed to above-average, our discriminating tastes still found much left to be desired. Defamer editor Seth Abramovitch and senior editor S.T. VanAirsdale attended yesterday’s screenings in Los Angeles and New York, respectively, after which the slow process of psychological reckoning and franchise restoration began the only way they knew how: via instant messaging.

Overlong ‘Indiana Jones 4′ At Least Promises Humorous Production Scrapbook

2:00AM Defamer Hollywood | We’re not surprised at the news that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is locked in at a running time of 140 minutes — at least 20 minutes longer than it should be to achieve that coveted $300 million mark Paramount wants for it. But that’s nothing compared to the film’s production stills, the most dismaying of which we found couched over at Hollywood Elsewhere and you can check out after the jump. More »
