At about the time that the new Transformers movie is being released, the same one that is putting Megan Fox's unheard of ass on the map, she goes on some interview and just degrades the director's (Michael Bay) style and art. Here is her comment about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen:
"I mean, I can't shit on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don't want to blow smoke up people's ass. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting."
Now being an angry Indian auntie, I normally disapprove of American girls like her...what with her obscenely short denim cutoffs and her inability to cook Biryani properly...but this time I agree with this girl 100%. Michael Bay is a visionless hack. He took the Transformers, one of the most imaginative concepts ever, and turned the first movie into shit. It was Armageddon + The Rock + talking automobiles. Could anybody follow that script? Some kid named Witwicky happens to have sensitive information imprinted on a pair of glasses that his grandfather had, and now must use that information to help the autobots save humanity? All I can remember about that movie is the white hot fury that boiled inside of me during that scene when one of the autobots steps out of a swimming pool and some little girl asks if he's the tooth fairy. I imagined all the obese soccer moms in Iowa who were chortling uncontrollably at that line and it made me want to hang myself with my own sari.
Michael Bay's response to all this was simply that Megan Fox is young and stupid. According to him, he created the careers of Nicholas Cage, Shia Lebouf, Ben Affleck, Martin Lawrence, and Will Smith. Apparently he conveniently forgot the fact that Nicholas Cage has been in 15 movies prior to The Rock, Ben Affleck won an Academy Award for Good Will Hunting before he was cast in Armageddon, and that Martin Lawrence and Will Smith both had their own hit TV shows before Bad Boys.
