Cinco de Mayo and Tony Cimo
For those of you of Mexican heritage, I would like to wish you a "Feliz Cinco de Mayo!"
For those of you living in Atlanta, WATL will broadcast this Saturday afternoon "Vengance: The Story of Tony Cimo." So what's the big deal? I've been bombarded with emails asking me if Michael acts in this movie as a sled agent. Go figure. The Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB) list him as part of the cast for this 1986 movie. I have official word that tells me that it is not the Michael Bay we know. Who the hell gave this info? Can anyone delete that info at the IMDB?
Anyway, if someone gets to record this, please send me a copy (email me at nelson@michaelbay.com if you want my mailing address). I wanna see who this sled agent is...

Nike Alpha Project ads
Click here to view one of Michael's Nike Alpha Project commercials titled "Court Elves|Johnnny the Angry Android|Goat Boy."You must have Quicktime 4.0. Note: this is one of Michael's strangest commercials by far. It has that creepy "Fellini-esque" look and feel to it. I've always said it again and again: Michael can make pretty dark and edgy stuff. I just hope he directs the "Gory Details." Below is the list of the three commercials he made for the Alpha Project campaign.
"Court Elves|Johnnny the Angry Android|Goat Boy" (Propaganda Films 1999)
"Johnny the Angry Android" (Propaganda Films 1999)
"Snowdome" (Propaganda Films 1999)

Pearl Harbor article
The Honolulu Advertiser has an article mainly about Jerry Bruckheimer (co-producer) and snippets from Michael Bay. Click here to read it. Among Michael's quotes: "...I side with the survivors rather than the historians. Everyone has their own stories... And every historian has their own stories. What Iâm doing is taking the essence of the survivors, taking bits and pieces, and putting them into the movie."
