Well that isn't the generic babyface work I'd expect from her. The heelwork is alright but I'm not a fan of using swearing to do it. My advice would be to insult the haters in better ways such as usage of the words "fat/out of shape", "virgin", "losers"...however going after the males may well not be the best choice for her. Insulting the women and telling them out of shape sweathogs to pipe down while she (in her new movie) shows their men what a real women is supposed to look like would make for much better heelwork.
Indeed. Anyone remember this [http://kotaku.com/5403286/what-modern-warfare-2-boycotters-are-playing] hilariousness from a while back? For those who don't remember, before the release of Modern Warfare 2, there was a huge internet fuss about it not having dedicated servers for PC, and a big drive to boycott the game entirely. There was a Steam group set up for people to join in and let everyone know they would boycott it. That link shows a picture of the boycott group immediately after the game was released. The majority of members were playing Modern Warfare 2.Mahorfeus said:
I'm far from a fan of Megan Fox, in fact I don't think I've seen a single film of hers that I actually liked, but on this point she is absolutely right - the majority of these whining about the Turtles film on the internet will be the first people into the cinemas when it's released. You vote with your wallet, not with internet Facebook likes and Twitter whining. Until people are actually willing to stand by their words and actually not pay money for things they claim not to like, Fox, Bay, any everyone else involved with films like this are well within their rights to just tell the whiners to fuck off. They have no reason to care what anyone says, it's what people do that matters.
They do have no reason to care what anyone says, which is exactly why Megan needs to shut up and ignore a tiny minority of fans that are bent out of shape over an unsurprisingly stupid-sounding narrative shot by a special effects-porn director and featuring a woman that's become famous by selling her own sex appeal.Kahani said:
Instead of focusing on things that matter, she's become the whiner. She had every right to say what she said, but there's every justification to say that she's an unprofessional twat and a shitty role model that only gets away with what she says because of her looks and fame -- both of which will fade.
We must be living in different realities. This sort of thing is fairly common. The only reason it's getting so much attention is because hate lightning rod Megan Fox is saying it.Res Plus said:
Well, I was going to try and see the movie, even though I didn't like any of the trailers. But it's a new TMNT movie, so I might as well try it.
But now, I think I'll just wait for it to come out on DVD or cable.

She's got a point. The internet acts like Bay's Transformers series is an affront to film making and yet it's spawned three sequels and keeps making money. Either these films ARE insanely popular or too many people just aren't voting with their wallets (or purses.)
On the other hand, there are plenty of people, such as myself, who will realise the movie is a steaming pile and simply not pay money to see it. I've never seen any of the Transformer movies simply because they look like overblown CGI spectacle shows and I have no interest in them. So what is Fox going to say to people like me, huh?
She really does look like a rubbish April O'Neil though. Just another damsel in distress which was NOT part of April's character.

On the flip side, I think she's a pretty terrible actress but my reaction is simply not to watch her movies. I mean, I don't like her, but I think the drudge people harbour against her is stupid. Especially if they're still nursing the "fake geek girl" grudge.Res Plus said:Probably my shallow appreciation of current news events then I guess, I do have a throughly modern tendency to skim stuff.
I can agree Megan does seem to attract a lot of abuse, I always quite liked her but then I wasn't deeply invested in Transformers as a kid so I don't very the films as an appalling betrayal. I suspect TMNT is going to be equally popular.
Hold on, I got you covered.GamerMage said:
As for the topic at hand...I saw the trailer. Looks like standard Michael Bay stuff. I don't think it looks that good, but the rage over the trailer baffles me a bit. At the same time...Megan Fox, there's this thing called tact. It's not just the other half of ticks. Use it.
Michael "ruin a franchise" Bay can F*ck off along with your lousy acting abilities. You are nothing but lackluster eye candy M Fox, and that's being generous bc there are far more attractive actresses out there that actually have talent.
This movie looks awful and I won't pay money to see it just like i did with the "transformers" movies. Maybe if a better director did a remake, there would be hope for TMNT. I rather just watch the original.
the only tolerable film Mbay has done was The Rock and he can thank Sean Connery for that.
and telling potential viewers to watch your film and like it, or "F*ck off" is down right classy there... lmao. we really shouldn't be surprised, trash produces trash.

No Thank you. Won't be watching it in theaters but I pretty much have to watch it just to see how terrible it is. Lets just say they won't be getting paid for my view. Also just because something makes money does not mean its good. Justin Bieber sells records by the millions simply because he appeals to the lowest common denominator. The transformers movies do the same exact thing. Not exactly something to be proud of.
From what I understand about the situation it wasn't really Bay's idea to fire her. It was Spielberg, who was an exec. producer on the transformers movies, that demanded she get canned for her comments. Since then Fox and Bay have buried the hatchet and Spielberg isn't part of the production team from the new ninja turtles movie.Azmael Silverlance said:What I DONT GET is how come Megan Fox was sacked by Michael Bay from the transformers movies for being a ***** and saying something about him as well if i remember correctly. And then she gets a job on his new project
Don't know the narrative or what silly things they're doing to twist conventional TMNT lore, but I don't understand why people don't understand why some people are mad.thebobmaster said:
Anime watchers: pick one you like and give it to Michael Bay, featuring Megan Fox and Whoopi Goldberg. If you don't like it, fuck off. You'll probably pay to see it anyway.
...Way to cut out the part where I said that Megan Fox was in the wrong for her statement. She had a slight point, in that the people constantly complaining about things before launch always seem unable to help themselves from spending money on it. *cough*Modern Warfare 2 boycott*cough* That said, she chose the best phrase possible to piss off any fans on the fence about seeing it, since they clearly don't matter to her at all.AgedGrunt said:
As for me, if they were to, say, take Monster (probably my favorite anime) and give it to Michael Bay, and the trailer didn't look like it would appeal to me, I wouldn't watch it. That's it. I wouldn't go online, find every article on the Escapist that mentions the movie, and talk about how much it's going to suck.
The Transformers cartoon was a good series about robots... made to sell toys to kids. And the Transformers movies are simplified versions for the mainstream audience. Let it sink to you. Simplified versions of kid's toys advertisements...
That doesn't surprise me, considering her sudden return to working on things with Bay's name attached. It was her outward expression of contempt for Bay that got her booted out of the Transformers franchise in the first place. When I saw that she'd be playing April in this fail of a TMNT movie, I immediately thought that she must be trying to crawl back into his good graces. After all, what else has she done since Transformers that anyone remotely cares about or remembers, good OR bad? Exactly. And then, looking at what she is quoted to say in this article, it reminds me of an almost word for word account of Bay's sentiments regarding his movies. So yeah, this is the PR equivalent of a shit-eating grin. Anything to keep Bay happy.Not G. Ivingname said:
Assuming Bay intends to milk this franchise for all it's worth like he did with Transformers, she probably wants to ride this cash cow for all it's worth instead of falling off mid-romp.
Would it be wrong to suggest that thousands of anime fans would probably have a few colorful words to say about a Michael Bay anime film? Heck, if he's not available, why not give another anime to M. Night Shyamalan (apologies, I know there is no Airbender film)?thebobmaster said:
Point is this is a beloved piece of fiction close to a lot of childhoods and it's getting the Call of Duty treatment. Why wouldn't people be a bit pissy? That's pretty normal for this sort of situation; what isn't normal is for one of the stars to attack those fans and knows the film is a milking.
I hate to admit it but I am on her side on this. People who complain about it before its even out should shut it. Wait till it is out, see it, if it is shit congrats you called it, but no ones gives a damn. If not then you just made a big fucking deal over nothing. It sickens me that people get so torn up about this kind of thing, shouldn't we just be happy that teenage mutant ninja turtles are a thing again, that the newer generation get to see things like transformers, spider man, and tmnt on the big screen? Also why do you care if other people enjoy the movie or not? Are people just mad because the things we once geeked out to as kids are being spread around? Is it not cool now because it's mainstream?
