Michael Bay and Jacques Derrida?



Last week I read this snipet from Entertainment Weekly about Michael Bay's upcoming third transformers movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon:

"Michael Bay deconstructs the perils of an institutionally binary electoral system in this astute...or, you know, robots blow each other up as Shia LaBeouf runs for his life." (85, Entertainment Weekly June 3/10 Double Issue)

So, I ask myself, does Derrida penetrate even the most non-academic writing or is it that this was written by a humanities grad school dropout?

Well, Michael Bay does deconstruct the idea that movies should have a plot, decent dialogue, or comprehensible action sequences...

deconstruct o destruct?

I guess the correct term would be "blow into oblivion via a thousand booms and Shia LeBeouf shouting 'go go go go go go go go!' for over 2 hours."
