So we're all on the same page about this, then? Good:

Oh, absolutely. I'm just curious how you prep for a movie when you don't know what it's going to be about. If you're Marlon Brando you can just show up and be assured you can mumble something off the cue cards, and it'll be brilliant, but when you're the actual director, a few hints about things like "story" and "location" would be crucial to figuring out what comes next. I have the suspicion that 12 of the 14 pages consisted of lines like "there is a fight between robots" and "Shia and Megan Fox are running from something."

The third might be better, but remember, we're still talking about a movie that has jive-talking robots transform turn into cars and are called Transformers, and fight deceptive creatures who are called Decepticons. Oh, and those robots made out of construction vehicles? Constructicons. I'm not sure you need a script. Just put a case of energy drinks and a case of Four Loko in a room with ten computer animators, lock the door, and come back in a month. It couldn't be any worse.
