luidprand: //"Y'all" is perfectly acceptable second person plural, dammit
///Well, that or "you guys"


From my dealings with coworkers from Raleigh, I came to understand that "y'all" was singular, and "all y'alls" was plural.

I still think she's kinda plasticky and more genero-hot than anything else, but it does sound like Megan Fox at least knows what time it is.

lamecat: I've been filled with Nicholas Cage love ever since I saw him in Wicker Man. Any actor who is not afraid to run around screaming and babbling and punching women in the face and even drop-kicking them into walls for no real reason is fine by me.

/how'd it get burned? how'd it get burned how'd it get burned? how'd it get burned?!
//my boyfriend was not as amused as I was
///poor bastard, at least it wasn't some real shiat like Sex in the City or Twilight

Smiths: Okay that's funny.

I think the last time we saw something like this it was Jackie Chan going "Rush Hour 3 sucked"

But RH3 was no TF2 on such a massive level. Way to go Megan!

I'm no Nic Cage fan, but the guy was in Raising Arizona and Moonstruck long before Michael Bay came along.

Affleck was already famous for co-writing "Good Will Hunting" (for which he won an Oscar and got lots of press over) before he was in any Michael Bay film. (He also was known for appearing in a couple Kevin Smith films.)

But keep on tooting your own horn there, Michael...

He didn't mention a single actor who has ever done anything worthwhile.

 
Freak of Nurture 2009-07-02 10:01:44 PM  
I saw that Early Show interview and she seemed pretty damn cool to me. Snarky as hell and not stupid at all. Seems like she knows everyone just wants to bang her and isn't into all the media bullshiat, so she doesn't care about a carefully crafted public image. She's probably set for life already anyway.

Some sarcastic stuff she said:
Any guy she goes out with has to have a tattoo, or get one.. of her.
LeDoof said kissing her was like kissing a unicorn, but she would rather he said a woodland nymph faerie.
And the "I think you might be a genius" line was a great back-handed compliment on that stupid movie.

 
srhp29 2009-07-02 10:02:36 PM  
Fat and Nasty 86: Sounds like she gets paid upfront with zero royalties. And as far as Bay's arrogant comments, well, he's an idiot for suggesting he launched Will Smith into stardom. Nick Cage wasn't HUGE before the Rock, but then again -- when have we considered him a "super" star?

Wasn't he nominated for an Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas...before he did The Rock? Who made who? Had Cage and Connery not been in The Rock, would anyone have seen it?

 
TheMarchHare 2009-07-02 10:02:50 PM  
Im pretty sure Nic won an oscar for leaving las vegas before he was in the rock.

/maybe nic cage can math his way out of this
//maybe i can watch the oscars and discover people

seabass242 2009-07-02 10:11:59 PM  
before I forget: Nic Cage was amazing in Leaving Las Vegas... but now, he's a caricature of himself.

He was better in Adaptation. It changed my mind about him as an actor. It is one of the greatest acting performances of all-time. (imo)

 
RadicalMiddle [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-07-02 10:18:38 PM  
Ben Affleck had a good career started, then he met Michael Bay. Bay made him into just another overblown action star, pouring out dreck, like Nicholas Cage.

Now he's nothing more than that guy who was with that chick with the big ass. Hey, Jennifer had two big asses!

/I just kill me.

 
Unsung_Hero 2009-07-02 10:24:13 PM  
Every time I read something that is supposed to prove Megan Fox is an idiot, it instead seems to indicate she has some brains and they include self-depreciating humour.

What she lacks is the capacity to keep her mouth shut and promote projects according to the script.

I'm pretty much OK with that, but I can't forgive the fact that she doesn't drop by my house for some action once in a while. I'm also not 100% into the tats.

/Tits yes, tats no.

 
robsul82 [TotalFark] 2009-07-02 10:27:10 PM  
Cage wins Oscar for Leaving Las Vegas - early 1996, as Leaving Las Vegas was a 1995 release.

Cage cast in The Rock - 1996.

So Bay is definitely taking credit for "making" someone who already won an Oscar, BESIDES Affleck.

Is it just me, or has Nicholas Cage always looked 35 years old?

I have no idea how old he is, but in any picture or movie I've seen him in ever, he looks about 35. 2008 red carpet pictures, 1980 movie set pictures, it doesn't matter. 35.

Nem Wan: Transformers: Rehash of the FX is at a toilet plunging 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Drag Me to Hell, whose trailer looks lame as hell, is at a surprising, guess-I-should-see-it 93%

Yeah, it's trailer is horrid, but it's the director of Evil Dead doing horror. You know, even if it is cheesy and horrible, it will be entertaining as hell.

The trailer to Donnie Darko was shiat, but it was a good, though fantastically overrated, movie. The trailer made it look like a slasher flick where the killer wore a bunny suit.

Best movie Nick Cage has ever done. If you hate Nick Cage, watch that movie. He's great in it and the movie is awesome.

He's been in so much crap lately, I don't know why. I liked him in the Rock, hell I even licked Face Off. Raising Arizona he was good. Really he's much better at comedy roles but keeps trying to be an action/suspense star.

Reminds me of Wesley Snipes, actually. Brilliant in Major League, but later decided he wouldn't do any film where he didn't get to show off his martial arts.

At least after, you could talk about car chases and explosions.

 
darkvstar 2009-07-02 11:08:04 PM  
if i were her, i would be pissed off, too. everything that is wrong with TF2 can be directly laid on Bay's doorstep. what a crap director.
the one piece of acting Fox actually got to do (hiding from the robots, terrified of getting found) is instantly made ridiculous because in the very next scene she's back to that remote "hey, i am just a tourist in the wrong place" look.
this is not the actors fault, but the fault of a crappy director with absolutely no vision.

How quickly we forget the sins that Michael Bay has committed.

Not one person in this thread has mentioned the following unforgivable act.

MICHAEL BAY DECLINED SCARLETT JOHANSSON'S OFFER TO DO A TOPLESS SCENE IN "THE ISLAND"

I mean at least shoot the scene, then cut it out, but still leak the pictures.

End of story.
DIAF Bay.



/ For her role in the action flop The Island, she offered to film her sex scene with Ewan McGregor topless, but director Michael Bey declined, wanting the film to be rated PG-13, not R. (new window)

ne2d: So she said something kind of funny that everyone that's seen the movie would agree with. Between this and arranging to meet the kid that tried to give her a flower, she seems pretty cool in addition to being smoking hot.

Disagree. Hot chicks are a dime a dozen in lalaland and he gave her the break. Even without that, and despite Bay being a douche himself it's simply poor form to trash the people you're working with. Also, she seems to have forgotten that her universally panned 'performance' is certainly part of the problem. Look, I don't care who asked you to the prom... if you say 'yes' then you at least have to be courteous to your date, even if you're not in love. She's the flavor of the month now, but I predict her actions only two weeks into this film will come back to haunt her in the future. Moviemaking is a crapshoot already - the last thing a casting person needs is any doubt that their choices will stand by the product.

Tickle Mittens 2009-07-03 12:10:25 AM  
Having seen Transformers 2 in IMAX (I relish being part of the problem) I have some obvious observations.
1. It's a Michael Bay movie so you have some genuinely sweet moments and then the rest of the movie reminds you it's a Michael Bay movie.
2. Exempted: the movie which is pretty much a Director of Photography/Stalker's love letter/oath of fealty to Megan Fox. And plenty of it is her running in slow motion.

Is it the wisest use of $12 gas? no, that might be a share of GE or maybe Nordstroms. But in its own way it's worth it, and a lot of that has to do with Megan Fox and the DP.

Drag me to hell is leaps and bounds ahead of Transformers 2 which is a bad sequel of a horrible movie. Thats like saying fresh prince is better than charles in charge, both are bad only one knows it was bad and embraced it, the other acts like it was some cinematic achievement and refuses to acknowledge that it sucked ass.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a normal heterosexual male on the planet that wouldn't shag her rotten if given the chance. Yes, even those folks who might think she's not all that would not say "no" if ever given the opportunity.

Jim Morrison's Corpse 2009-07-03 01:14:20 AM  
God I really don't want to be this guy...

but I think he's actually right. Kind of. The Cage thing is out to lunch, but I do agree with the Shia/Smith/Affleck thing. Not that he made them in that before they were unknown, but he "made" them in the sense that now they had bankability and name and face recognition they didn't before.

Seriously, just hear me out.

Smith had a couple albums, and a successful TV role. But before he did Bad Boys his movie roles were small. That's not indicative of quality, but just the role themselves. But when he did Bad Boys between seasons of Fresh Prince he did get huge. That movie is what made him go from "TV star" to "Movie Star"

Shia is similar. Lots of minor roles (in mostly bad movies) and a TV series. Sure, he did star in Disturbia, but it's not like that movie was sold on his name. He was in it, he was the main role, but I would be hesitant to call him the star. Transformers (And Indy 4) and people know him.

Affleck is a little different. Sure he won an Oscar, but that doesn't mean that people knew who he was. Very few people were wanting to "check out that new Ben Affleck movie" in 1997. Armageddon made him a big name, which made him a star.

Again, being popular and being good are completely different things, so please don't tell me how good Affleck was in GWH.

Although one could also argue then that it is directly Micheal Bay's fault for Eagle Eye, Wild Wild West, and Reindeer Games.

bastard.

Dear michael bay. transformers 2 sucked because your studio decided to hire ehren kruger to rewrite a perfectly good script to include such humorous scenes as the twin goofball robots and the stupid roommate. all of which added suck.

There's only one downside to all the hilarious reviews about how utterly batshiat insane this movie is: it's kind of making me want to see it just to make sure that it actually farking exists. If I do, though, there will need to be copious amounts of alcohol involved.

uhh, hello?! Ghostrider? That won a gramemmyony award, didn't it? Fox didn't seem like she was trying to be disrespectful of the movie. I think she just under described her point. As if we were already in on it. I'd still put it squaw in her butt.
