The guy is not always a problem to me, but with Bay directing him I'm positive he is going to be annoying in this.

@XxNickTheFilmCriticXx Yeah, Hollywood really takes the term "it guy" to a whole new level these days.

@ChiRep-1 -- Basically. Have you noticed that Hollywood overuses great, one-dimensional characters? I'm so glad "Office Space" was made over a decade ago, because if it was a modern day movie, they would ruin everything Milton had going for him.

I've had enough of this guy. I'll watch him crash in burn in the next few years.
