Say what you will about Shia\’s acting, but I love his honesty and willingness to just speak openly about the projects he\’s been involved in. Like when he sort of called out Speilberg for the lackluster Indiana Jones movie. He was right, but he said it in a way that was respectful.

That\’s the clearest explanation anyone\’s ever given of Megan\’s departure from the franchise.

If you\’re to smug to accept that Armageddon, Transformers, The Rock are great popcorn movies and dont aspire to be anything else you should just stop watching summer blockbusters.

Is it really \”smugness\”? Really?

I seriously do not get why this babydoll could not just sit her purty little butt on the motorcycle and do what she was told. Is it really that hard? This whole women\’s lib thing is making the world go to hell in a hand basket.

Regarding Shia- problem is has almost always been in terrible movies & he never puts some blame where it belongs- on his terrible acting.

Wall Street 2 was far from a great movie BUT an actor who could actually play greed would\’ve helped make the film less of a dud.

Edward Davis, I hope you\’re bring ironic.

Fuck directors like Michael Bay who objectify women to appeal to misogynist culture.

The Rock is good despite Bay. I think all the subsequent Bay offal has led people to retroactively hate on what was for years considered a great action movie.

I love Megan so much. I worked on the first Transformers and that\’s the best description of her on-set relationship with Bay that I can think of. She\’s way too honest and singular of a presence to do what she did in those movies. I\’m not saying she\’s a phenomenal actress or anything like that, but as a person? #1 chick you\’d kick it with at a party.

And \”“Transformers: Dark Of The Moon” opens in July why bother.\” = bravissimo.

What\’s with the Shia bashing in the article? Didn\’t sound to me like he was putting down Megan Fox. It sounds like he\’s just talking about the reality of making the Transformers films. If anything he\’s putting down Michael Bay.

Shia\’s honest (to a fault) and ….wow

It sort of makes me respect Megan Fox more.

Shia, just shut your mouth and do not speak. EVER! Jesus, that guy doesn\’t half talk a lot of shite!

This guy is the biggest dick on the planet! I just wish he would STFU sometimes!

You\’ve got the \”fluffy talk\” reference all messed up. When Shia said there was no time for \”fluffy talk,\” he meant that Bay didn\’t have time to mince his words with Megan, soften what he was saying about the sex vibe he wanted and make what he was saying \”fluffy.\” In this article, you make it seem like Shia was saying that Megan was expected to speak in \”fluffy talk;\” and in doing so, you\’re turning Shia\’s words into a sexist statement. With the \”fluffy talk\” reference, he\’s talking about Michael, not Meganl! Don\’t throw Shia under the bus with Bay. Shia was just explaining the onset vibe. Bay is the misogynist here, not Shia.

Ironically, the Spice Girls were marketed as sex symbols too.

You confused the whole \”fluffy talk\” thing.

And the tone of the article sounds like it was written by an angry, bitter teenager…

I agree with, Shia LaBeouf is lot clever than the eye sees. He just called Bay a third rate director full of cliches and Megan a strong woman. In one very smartly worded statement he showed that Megan is strong woman who stood her ground and calling Mike Bay a director who make movies for 16 year olds and is better off working with Victoria Secret models, and then to make sure that Bay does not gets pissed, adds that he likes the homely kind of women who make eggs for him in the morning which we all know he is too smart for. This guy should be a politician! Very clever guy!

Just like the pic attached to this story. I found the movie very unbelieveable between LaBoof and Fox. They needed to cast a dweeb girl that Shia\’s character would be with in the real world of dating and not Fox. Who would have been just his wet dream girl.

Yes, Bay is the ultimate hack. Perfect example is \”The Rock\” which is racist BS! All the inferior guys are men of color. All the superior guys are white (especially Bond, James Bond). And that thing with the rocket launcher (or whatever it was) at the end of the film was one of the stupidest things I\’ve ever seen in a movie, or at least the stupidest thing I\’ve seen since Eastwood\’s \”…me, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Wesson.\” In both cases, the bad guy had enough time to pump about ten bullets into the lead character, but just stood there, awed by the magnificence of the white hero. Like I said, racist BS.

And don\’t get me started on turning the horror of the attack on Pearl Harbor into a video game. Weeee!

Like Shia, Josh Brolin said really interesting, complimentary things about Megan Fox in his Playboy Interview with Steven Rebello. More than meets the eye.

At the end of the day, Bay brings the studios what they want. People pay to watch and enjoy 2 hours of entertainment, not try to get intellectual with its cast.

Megan is beautiful and will be looking for films that best match her skill set and I wish her the best.

Shia has a great agent and manager and will continue to fetch solid product.

Bay already has his niche and will continue to produce and direct as he likes I imagine.
