They were at university together back in the day.

[Edit] - Ok so apparently you do hear Joss trashing other works, or at least talking negatively about them. Still, overall, I think he's a classy man who'd rather be self-depricating than taking down others. [Edit]

Also Joss trashed Prometheus just last week. He trashed X-Men. He trashed Donald Sutherland. He trashed Alien 4. I think there are some others but they're not coming to mind right now. He is a class act but he has had some bad things to say about other film makers and even various actors.

That someone used their own possessions in a student film presumably made on a very limited budget? I'm not sure what exactly this says about Bay; I think that almost every student film would prominently feature anything the students can get their hands on.
Or is the point that it says something about him that he owned a yellow Porsche in the first place.
I've heard that Bay was an *exceptional* film student, in a way that makes his general crappiness as a director (IMHO) a shame.

But Bay, Lucas, etc. live in a time now where if something doesn't work on the adult level it's going to get savaged. You can't make a simplistic kids story, release it to the GA and expect to not be taken to task for the stupidity in it.
Heck, look at the storytelling chops of Pixar and Dreamworks and its easy to realize the storytelling has changed. How? By actively putting things in it that effect adult characters and relate to their experience. Bay has just never changed with the time. He thinks live-action 80's cartoons still work.

You know, there's a difference between having an opinion on a film and trashing something. It kind of depends on how you're saying what, and how bad the 'offense' you're responding to was.

"Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! FUCK YOU."
I think it was in a Q+A, years ago. He might have even said before the comment something along the lines of not generally wanting to trash other people's work. The video is probably still out there somewhere but I have no idea where to look for it.
