because the first one was entertaining. I can't understand why you couldn't figure that out.

I couldn't see what was going on b/c all of the shots during the action were so tight.

"Oh look! here's a spinning tumbling metal elbow thingy moving towards what looks like a leg, of something...and they're both spinning in the air! I think they're fighting? Can't tell, it's shiny cartoons throwing punches at each other and well, since they can't die and there are absolutely no consequences to robots fighting...I don't give a fuck."

it was fucking horrible.

she insulted the director that made her.
shes been a loose canon for a while, and she is aging, so big deal.

This. The camera work, my god. The only fight scene that was interesting at all for me was the Optimus Prime one solo fighting because the camera actually pulled back for a second. Instead of fighting in a fucking city, they were in the woods so shit like dust and buildings were limited so we could see stuff happening.

Bay may or may not be like Hitler, but I'd rather watch a Goebbels film than any of his shit.

lol


jeez, come to think of it, what do you think Nazi propaganda movies would have been like "IF" Bay was there propaganda czar?

I can't believe people are complaining about the camera work when it was actually the plot that was the worse thing about that movie. wtf? It was sloppy erratic crud. And the main plot devices were idiotic. The Fallen? pfft. The Sun eater? Lame.

I liked her part in How to lose friends and alienate people. Surprisingly enough it's also the only movie I liked Kirsten Dunst in.

More action packed with explosions. On the plus side, there would be less time for propaganda and less effective propaganda because dialog would NOT be the focus! lol!

How about posting the entire story? :)

Sounds like she was a little princess who didn't want to follow the ship captains [director] orders.

And how the hell could someone like her NOT know she's wearing something that would make 16 year olds want to hump her 24/7?


http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...anded-megan-fox-firing-after-hitler-comments/

“Mike films women in a way that appeals to a 16-year-old sexuality. It's summer. It's Michael's style. And I think [Fox] never got comfortable with it. This is a girl who was taken from complete obscurity and placed in a sex-driven role in front of the whole world and told she was the sexiest woman in America. And she had a hard time accepting it. When Mike would ask her to do specific things, there was no time for fluffy talk. We're on the run. And the one thing Mike lacks is tact. There's no time for [LaBeouf assumes a gentle voice] 'I would like you to just arch your back 70 degrees.'"

LaBeouf added to GQ, “She started s*** talking our captain. Which you can’t do.”

Guess she refused to do a "favor" for someone high up. Believe it or not, that's not a sexual reference either. If they get board with you, you're done in that biz. Most people get famous only by sucking the proverbial dick. She called a spade a spade and the big wigs didn't like that.

Honestly, I can't understand why people even bothered going to see Transformers 2.


so why did you go?

or.....why did you bother watching Transformers in the first place?

What is there to understand when people want to go watch Transformers 2?

Pro-tip: Don't compare your boss to Hitler in international media if you want to keep your job.

Soooooo.......

Obviously.........

She was looking for an excuse to get out of her contract.

Cant say I blame her, Transformers is a dead end for acting careers. It will be way better for the producers and directors, not the cast.

She's about as good of an actor as Bobcat Goldthwait, without Transformers she'd be a total nobody. She's going to quickly realize Hollywood doesn't give 2 shits about her, and that her appearance isn't anything special since pretty girls in Hollywood are a dime a dozen. I predict she enters into a career of porn within 5 years.

She has a promising future as Brian Austin Greens next baby mama, after they get a divorce.

Are you suggesting that Megan Fox was waterboarded on her way out of the Transformers contract?

Hot to Trot was a great movie.
