Recent news about the Constructicons/Devastator appearing in the Transformers sequel may have been a fabricated lie.
Director Michael Bay wrote on his official site: “Sorry everyone, everything you are reading (other then we are shooting in Philly) is false. We are going to give so much disinformation on this film to confuse everyone.”
Information leakage during the production of last summer’s Transformers was considerable (we were able to review the script almost a year prior to the film’s release), so Bay’s need for secrecy this time around is understandable. On the other hand, an outright disinformation campaign will only hurt the sequel’s potential publicity, as news sites may feel forced to boycott their coverage of the movie short of officially released publicity material.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.

Yes. Mike has vowed to lead the disinformation campaign, against his own film. I think there is a little bit of genius behind that actually.
