I was at a Lindsay Sterling concert a few months ago, and she brought out a wheel to randomly pick the next song. Carol of the Bells was on there and even though it was mid September, the audience went wild when they saw that one. She even talked it up a bit for those who didn't know. Landed on something else and everyone was very disappointed.

Anyway, Hollywood, you need to make Godzilla vs Mecha Santa and have them destroy the city to Carol of the Bells. Hell, I'll even accept Michael Bay as the director. It'd be like the one thing he's good for.

'Pain and gain' was also good.

He's not a bad director, he's got a very specific skill set that doesn't apply to most projects. 'Incomprehensible assholes and deranged perverts of history' would absolutely benefit from his direction.

To be fair to Michael Bay, he knows exactly what he's good at, so that's exactly what he does.

There are other directors that I could point to who do not seem to know that they suck at anything other than framing a short action sequence.

I absolutely loved how epic rap battles of history handled Michael Bay. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_wYtG7aQTHA&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD

An old PSP game called The 3rd Birthday opened with some fucked-up aliens invading NYC on Christmas Eve. It was a tragedy they didn’t use Carol of the Bells.
