@DelilahGlocks: Ah yes the quotation mark. Exactly who and what are you reffering to. Youve lost me completly. This is not even attached to a post, its just a random insult to myself. Go back to ebaums silly Troll!!
I've come to the conclusion that anything anyone says about Megan Fox is at least ten times as idiotic as anything the girl has ever actually said herself. The bitter drivel being spewed by film crews and Internet tough guys alike just makes people seem really small and sad.
@Ed Grabianowski: Internet tough guys yes.. But people who have worked with her have a right to defend themselves and the director that puts food on their tables, from the ingracious and pretentious words of yet another starlet. To these people, girls like her are a dime a dozen, and I imagine they grow quite tired of dealing with diva's..
@burlybax: Their job is to deal with divas. If they can't handle that without an unprofessional display of jealousy and workplace gossip, then they are clearly in the wrong business. As for Fox's comments, her job is to create publicity for herself and the movies she appears in (and also, to look hot). Done, done and done.
I've read all of these articles... the crew's letter seems way out of proportion to the comments quoted.
It's funny/pathetic if these guys really expect the actors to be hanging at the crew party, and saying Hi to their children and friends. People do think that way, but experienced hands on a crew? They can't be the author of this childish thing
@frederic:
It's funny/pathetic that you think you understand how things work on a movie set. The good actors, and by that I mean those who are professional, good people as well as good performers, know that it is the crew that makes them look so good on screen. They become a family, even if it's only for a few months.
People like Fox, they don't last long in this industry, when all they are is a pretty face and no talent to speak of. Beauty fades, especially when it's being eroded from the inside by such an ugly, ungrateful personality. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
@Cash907Censored: Be honest, you really don't know anything about Megan Fox. I don't claim that I do either. Read the whole letter to see what I'm calling pathetic.
The facts are these P.A. are not working their dream jobs, it's often just a stepping stone. They can be frustrated actors, script writers, directors, etc. That's what it often is a on a movie set: it's a group of frustrated people. The friendly group of people who love each other are the ones at the top, in power. At the P.A. level? It's a lot of whispered gossip and bitching,
Also would all of these words be written against a man? I do not believe so. When it's a woman, automatically people say she's mean, her beauty will fail, she's dumb, etc. In the letter, they're calling her a trailer trash because she has a tatoo, etc. This is all boiler-plate misogyny.
Do read the full text of the letter to see just how petty this is [dlisted.com]
@frederic: I don't think they're expecting her to 'say Hi to their children and friends', and I think you're sort of throwing that out as a strawman. Their problem is with her general attitude. Nobody is obligated to greet each other in a work environment, but it's just common courtesy. If this was some wealthy head of an oil company (one of the internet's favorite targets) who wouldn't even say hi to the people who worked for him, people would find it 'rude', 'elitest', 'typical', etc.. But for some reason since it's Megan Fox the internet white-knights are ogling and defending her juvenile behavior.
I've always had the impression that she was some pampered little bitch of a person.. She was probably one of the plastics in high-school and didn't grow up beyond that point. Oh well, at least she's type-cast by now. She'll be in every skanky/bitchy role in hollywood.. And I'll be in line to buy a ticket like everybody else.
And while we're on the subject of people saying things they shouldn't say, there are a curious number of people who seem to have privileged, personal insight into hollywood movie actors on a site devoted to the nerdiest, most introspective kind of literature.
I'm not saying there's a lot of making - yourself - feel - superior - by - insulting - the - hot - girl - based - on - information - you - couldn't - possibly - have happening here but I'm saying that's what's happening here.
@Pope John Peeps II: Why is it so unbelievable that people are associated with individuals in the movie industry? Just because we have a penchant for geekish entertainment doesn't exclude the possibility of having an association with actors.
@FNP90: Yes but people wandering around Io9 seem to have a curious amount of personal connection to Megan Fox. They seem to know for sure that she's dumb, or brainless, or trailer trash, or has had plastic surgery, or have had "A friend who has worked with her" (pbbbfftt. Right). Unless they have some sort of mystical super-sense that allows them this sort of information, I doubt it's more than nerd-rage against hot chicks. It's vile, and pretty sexist.
@Pope John Peeps II: I think your right sir. I think society on a whole has become saturated with throw away celebrity. Eveything about anyone is written in tabloid filth. And because of this fact, everyone thinks they are judge, jury and celebrity executioner all in one!! Most people (including myself) dont know her, but are quick enough to judge on many personal levels. If you know her..like yourself, then by all means tell us what shes like on a one to one basis. Your opinion would certanly be valid. Oh you did...shes an oaf. Haha. Well there you go. But I do think (regardless of personal opinion of the woman), that she is certanly bitting the hand that feeds. Bay has a lot of connections and Hollywood sometimes finds it hard to forget. But...she is this years hot property and this will probably pass like a small fart in a hurricane (un-noticed)!!! I just think she'll struggle for the TF3 gig!

@CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): No, what the FUCK are you talking about? When did I ever claim to know Megan Fox? Your little semi-trolling bit is getting a little frayed around the edges.
@Pope John Peeps II: Im not trolling. Or even semi trolling (which sounds dirty). I just miss read your post. I appologise. Looks like im the one whos been on something funny!!
Edgy? She's a diva bitch that becomes less and less attractive everytime she opens her mouth. That's not edgy, that's the express train to oblivion.
Personally, I'm not interested in Gawker media's belief that it's a publicity stunt, as Nikki Finke and the rest of the industry are all treating it like it's legit, most likely because enough people have actually worked with the terror, and are confirming it among one another at various parties and lunch meetings.
I never accused Megan of being intelligent, but even she should be able to figure out that the only people making money off her stunts and idiotic statements are TMZ and the rags that print them. If there is one thing Hollywood hates more then a republican, it's empty headed little attention whores who think they actually deserve their 15 minutes of fame. If she doesn't shut her cake hole PDQ, the next time she washes a car for an audience, she'll be wearing a Hooters uniform.
@Cash907Censored: this is a joke, right? i mean if there's one thing hollywood loves more than empty headed attention whores it's actual crack since it's pretty much the only substance on earth more addicting.
I agree. Shes not all that, and if Bay was so hard to work for..why make TF2. Sounds like shes trying to attention seek. Besides, Bay is renowned for being difficult to work with, but look at the amount of films he's made and the amount of people that have come back to work with him in sequels. Yeah he's going to be controling and difficult..no matter how you look at it, he's in control, he's the boss. Its his name on the film. Of course he wants it to go well and sure...we can all get stressed. She states he's a nice guy outside work yet he has no social skills. He must have some skills to be nice guy away from set. Not the biggest Bay fan, but for a woman (nah...silly little, naive girl) to have a go at a guy who really did pick her from obscurity and give her a massive career boost. Well thats just not cricket. I have moments with my boss, put i dont go public and drag his name through the mud. Bad form girl. Bad form!! She better get used to it though, I hear Burger King have some mean people at the top!
One of my best friends has worked with her in both transformers and has stated that she is a vapid, brain dead twit. He said that you instantly loose all attraction to her once she attempts to speak.
@wanion: I love this argument. One side says that they know her and she's an idiot. The other side says they don't know her and that its unfair to judge her.
Why the fuck do you care if she's a moron? You just like looking at her tits. Don't confuse that with respect.

@Unmarketable_Product: What the fuck do you care if I care whether she's a moron?
You seem to be jumping to a lot of conclusions about my position on this matter, when all I was doing was making a wisecrack, so why don't you take your tirade somewhere it's actually applicable?
@wanion: The only "assumption" I made was that you liked looking at her tits. Perhaps its her highly refined acting ability that draws you in? The way she leans over car hoods and perfectly shows off her bare abs...wow...how does she not have an Oscar by now?
@Unmarketable_Product: That and the assumption that I like Megan Fox at all, or that I was somehow feigning respect for her, or that I was taking sides in this lame little argument, or that I was doing anything other than making a crack about FNP90's friend's rather strongly worded opinion, which, had you read my original reply, you might have started to catch on to. Not sure why you're so quick to jump on people who are willing to give Ms. Fox credit for having something to offer besides her physical assets, though...
" And I don't condone Megan's outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm" - Michael Bay.
Really, dude? Really? She referred to you as being like Hitler and you think that charming? Really? Yeah, I can see how genocide and gas chambers are freaking charming.
@eternalnightmare13: More like he's talking down to her. Imagine if a kid called you Hitler, and you said "Aw, that's so cute, he just being unique!" and brushing him off like a mosquito rather than validating him/giving him attention by getting angry.
If I comment on a Megan Fox post complaining about the number of Megan Fox posts and not wanting to comment on any more Megan Fox posts, will that actually cause an increase in Megan Fox posts?
I don't want to defeat the purpose of commenting on this Megan Fox post with a "I don't want any more Megan Fox posts" comment if it means it will perpetuate the number of Megan Fox posts.
