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

Hey speaking of nazis, did anyone post The Eternal Jew yet?

If you have an hour to blow, watch it. It's hilarious how much weird shit is said. There's a part that goes something like "notice how they can blend in with normal people" and it shows what a jew looks like before and after shaving his beard.
"seldom are jews found doing useful work, and when they are as it is here, it isn't voluntary" (classic nazi forced labor)
"these jews don't want to work, but barter. here, they are in their element"


I predict she enters into a career of porn within 5 years.
Blah, I wouldn't even watch that. There are so many hot porn stars already that it doesn't matter if she joins the team.

Personally I am going to boycott at least the theater showing of this film. Mr. Spielberg seems to have forgotten we live in a nation that has free speech guaranteed regardless how dumb the speaker, something Hitler did not allow. He should think on that some.


However, my reason for this is not that I am gaga over Megan Fox. I could care less what she says really. My reason is to remind Mr. Spielberg who pays his checks, we the fans do. As a fan of sequels such as this I want to see the damn original artists unless they're too ill to work or dead and gone!


For Mr. Spielberg to throw a tantrum like a three year old and ruin the continuity of the sequel is simply stupid and beneath him. He owes us a Megan Fox version of the film as far as I am concerned.


Please join me in this boycott and spread the word!

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.

without it she would not have gotten all the roles she's gotten, even if they've all been bombs.

Whine some more dude. Spielberg doesn't owe you or me jack squat. You're right in a sense that we pay his salaries though so go on with your boycott. I'm sure ole Steve will miss the $10 you pay for a movie ticket lol.

Secondly unless you've forgot he's in the business of making money. He probably thought he'd lose more money hanging on to an actress making silly Hitler comments then he would if he simply let her go and pissed off the one fan (you) who would actually care.

Lastly I just want to say don't buy into her "oh he objectifies women" bull shit. This is the SAME woman who in her Maxim spread stated she loves the sexuality of her body and how she prefers to show it off b/c when she meets men in public she knows they want her. She then goes into how knowing guys physically want her gives her power over them. So no, I don't care if he asked her for a blow job, this chick doesn't give a crap. She only said that to try and get pc people to take her side of losing her job.

A careless use of words, but very many people myself included have used the term "Nazi" to describe some over the top oppressive (often hyperbolic) thing going on. Sounds like he overreacted, in fact it was quite Nazi of him.

Classic case of projection. Attack another person so that herself won't feel at fault.

From what I hear, she's an absoulte bitch to work with.

that thread is over a year old and does not address why she got fired. the article in the OP came out yesterday. it is you that is old news. try to bring some relevance to the table once in a while.

You mean a link that you provided that doesn't work? And an article that came out yesterday explaining what happened over a year ago in the originally thread? Ok!

Have you ever been on a movie set? It's not a democracy, and it never will be. If it's Spielberg's money, it's his movie and his set to run as he deems fit.

In the greater context of our democracy, you're welcome to do say and what you want about how he does it. I'm sure he's extremely concerned about your boycott. :p
