Happy Birthday, Michael Bay! May your special day be filled with more explosions than "Armageddon" and as much excitement as the car chases in "The Rock." Your films have taught us that subtlety is overrated—why whisper when you can blow things up spectacularly?From asteroid-saving drillers to epic slow-motion hero walks, you've given cinema some of its most thrilling moments. Here's hoping this year brings even bigger blockbusters (and louder booms). Keep lighting up our screens—and skies—with action-packed adventures only you could dream up. Cheers to another explosive trip around the sun; may it outshine all previous sequels!
