And apparently a backhanded review of Michael Bay. Not that he doesn’t deserve it.

Maybe it’s the critical mauling he’s endured through the years, or maybe it was the “Team America” lyrical lashing that made him double think his love of super slow-motion explosions and close-ups of Ben Affleck’s five o’clock shadow. Or maybe, it’s an ironic parallel to Bay’s favorite big screen upshot â.. and the world is actually coming to an end.
“Transformers'” robot thespians are better actors than the cast of “Armageddon.” And also, sadly, “Transformers” is also probably more historically accurate than “Pearl Harbor.” Both are previous bloated Bay efforts, as are “The Island” and both “Bad Boys.” In fact, for 90 minutes “Transformers” is a sublime summer blockbuster exceeding even the most optimistic expectations.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
