Megan Fox needs to go back to obscurity

This is highly amusing...

Lucky you if you don't know about Megan Fox and Michael Bay. The former is famous for her roles in the heavy-hitting dramas, Transformers and Transformers 2. The latter is the director of such masterpieces.

Well, it turns out that the two of them have had a falling out, and it may or may not be because they screwed. We'll probably never know for sure.

The proverbial shit hit the fan when Fox upped the ante and called Michael Bay "Hitler." At that point, even crew members had to intervene and post a scathing letter on Michael Bay's website.

Some excerpts from the letter (read the whole sordid thing here):
Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.

Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she's no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.

We know this quite intimately because we've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies.

*****

When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we've had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) easily another 45 minutes in the chair!

*****

She compared working with Michael, to "working with Hitler". We actually don't think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn't realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was?

*****

On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn't let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, "I can't believe Michael is fucking forcing us to go to the fucking pyramids!" I guess this is the "Hitler guy" she is referring to.

So this is the Megan Fox you don't get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch.

Scary

You think corporations have too much influence over politics?

Well wait until the U.S. Supreme Court reverses its position on laws restricting the ability of corporations to donate freely to political campaigns and even campaign directly on the behalf of political campaigns.

Your next president, brought to you by ExxonMobil or The Carlyle Group. Gee, I wonder what party/kind of politician they'd support?

Speaking of movies...

The trailer for "The Lovely Bones" (directed by Peter Jackson) is out. Enjoy.

Love this snarky shit

I've been watching "At the Movies" since I was a kid, and I'm not exaggerating. From it's days as Siskel and Ebert, to Ebert and Roeper (after Siskel died), to Roeper with different guest critics after Ebert became too ill. The show was great and I looked forward to it each week.

I can't tell you how PISSED I was when ABC decided to tart up the show by revamping it into utter nonsense.

Well, ABC has heeded the call of lots of angry fans and shit-canned the two imbeciles. Two awesome and totally-worth-watching critics A.O. Scott of the NYT and Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune will now host the show. The first episode of the new and improved "At the Movies" will air on 9/5/09.... Yay!
