looks pretty cool - kinda ironic the pics of him looking "well done" and smoking a cig - that could be an anti-smoking ad in a heartbeat.
Does Hollywood not realize we DON'T LIKE SHIA? by ZeroCorpse	Aug 25th, 2008 09:31:40 AM
Seriously. I can't say I've ever met someone who can say, "I'm a Shia fan!" ...And I doubt I ever will.

Shia going for that 300 look! This guy seems to be letting the fame get into his head pretty cocky right now!

Re-Watched by santi01	Aug 25th, 2008 09:41:19 AM
I thought it was cool when i first seen it. SO i watched it again, First time since it came out last year, and man that was a really bad movie. The dialogue, acting and directing were terrible, really really bad. I now see where all the hate is coming from!
Is That What He Looked Like After The DWI? by LaserPants	Aug 25th, 2008 09:43:53 AM

The Annoying Fat Black guy by Nuck81	Aug 25th, 2008 09:45:19 AM
He ruined the first Transformers for me. It had potential to be a decent movie but the campy, over the top attempt at humor failed. Hopefully he dies in the next one.
fractureJonze, Shia is a REAL man by g-ride9000	Aug 25th, 2008 09:47:25 AM
and you just clicked (made harry ad money) so this is why. You said "Does AICN not realize we DIDN'T LIKE BAYFORMERS?" They report based on clicks (popularity). Unfortunately for your "inside the box" ass, infamy pays the bills. Keep clicking on things you hate, and your life will continue to suck....

The sooner everyone ignores anything connected with Transformers movies, the sooner they'll stop making them. For the love of God please...
Flames On Shia = Rather Amusing Actually by LordPorkington	Aug 25th, 2008 09:53:05 AM
Other that that, anything connected with these live action Transformers movies is utter shite. Unless they bring back 'Weird Al' to sing 'Dare To Be Stupid'. That would be brilliant...
RE: Please make it stop... by Mr. Nice Gaius	Aug 25th, 2008 09:55:56 AM
No way! TRANSFORMERS has been responsible for some of AICN's best and most looney-tunes Talkback moments. Keep 'em coming!
speak for yourself fractureJonze, you fat fatty. by dr sauch	Aug 25th, 2008 10:00:36 AM
Its a movie about giant robots. WTF, why are you holding it to such an insanely high standard. Its a cool, campy idea, and it was a fun movie (although I will concede that Megan Fox is ugly, talentless, and should be serving drinks at a casino in Atlantic City). Shut up fatty.

I'm a Shia fan! and I LOVE BAYFORMERS! by skynetbauxi	Aug 25th, 2008 10:07:52 AM
so, speak only for yourselves, haters... not everyone thinks the same way you do... Shia was great in every single movie I've seen him in (and I've seen most of his movies), and Bay's TRANSFORMERS rocks so much that I want to watch my HD DVD every single day.

well ZeroCorpse you just met one by MovieWhore	Aug 25th, 2008 10:08:31 AM
I've enjoyed Shia in just about everything he's done starting with his debut in Holes. Disturbia wa a great Rear Window/Girl Next Door mashup, Transformers was enjoyable and he was the only saving grace out of the farce that was Indy 4. I have never understood the Shia hate but then again fanboys would emplode if they didnt have anything to bitch about or not have hot girls who would never give them the time a day to call ugly since they cant get laid (my guess closet cases)

High standards? by Darth Macchio	Aug 25th, 2008 10:20:31 AM
Like what? Die Hard? Aliens? Those too high? Even ID4 and Godzilla we're much better in terms of a greater degree of less cringe-inducing moments. We need those guys who came in and did a fan re-cut of Phantom menace and made it watchable to do the same for Transformers. Cut Anderson from the movie completely...he's just a screaming funny guy who isn't funny but never stops screaming. CUT Cut the hacker nerds completely. Recruiting from highschool? In this the US? For what? Janitors? CUT the bullshit modern vernacular. Watching robots say "My bad" or "This seems like a cool place to kick it" just makes me want to pour glue on butterflies. Cut out anybody peeing on anybody. Resist the urge for have someone get pissed on. It never plays except in real life. Cut out the JarJar mini robot. Or at least make him threatening and not simply annoying. Oh shit...maybe it can't be done. The battle sequences...once you've seen them a few times and can follow them...they are quite fun and the visuals are very effective. Shia isn't horrible when he's pushed within an inch of his life...I don't know...the film's a mess but I think even with the shit sandwich they made...there's material there that does make for a good popcorn movie. Now I've got a headache...shit...

Shia hate... by Darth Macchio	Aug 25th, 2008 10:24:38 AM
Yeah..I don't get it either. I've seen him in a few things now and he's by far not the worst thing going. He may be a little self-aware in his roles but that might be more the director. It just occurs to me that the suck weight of the stuff he's been in is more related to the movie sucking than it is him being an asshat or whatever. I haven't seen Indy4 but I've seen Holes, Disturbia, Constantine, Transformers, etc, and he's a decent enough actor overall.
FINALLY TRANSFORMERS CAS COME BACK TO TALKBACK by Romoehlio	Aug 25th, 2008 10:28:28 AM
If you smeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel what the Bay is cooking. I know....it`s going to be TFD!!! Transformers TB`s are the best
More hate by xevoid	Aug 25th, 2008 10:40:12 AM
Yeah, Shia's actually a pretty good actor for someone his age in mybook. I like the fact that he's self aware. There's always a sence of urgency about his actions. He reminds me of Leo DiCaprio, except he's more self aware and seems like hes having fun in whatever he's doing. and as for the fanboy haters, go fuck yerselves. Transformers was fun. GIANT ROBOTS FIGHTING. Done hollywood style, which means not cheap and balls-to-the-wall action. The action scenes were fantastic. There certainly were some annoying and useless things in that movie, like John Tuturro, but overall it was fun, and my belief was suspended for two hours. I can't wait for the next one, and if anyone calls me a plant I'll hunt you down and strangle you with your own innards.
ArcadianDS, thats makeup by g-ride9000	Aug 25th, 2008 10:40:41 AM

Oh you fanboys... by Philvis	Aug 25th, 2008 11:17:20 AM
I'm sorry but I rather enjoyed Transformers, as did my wife. And yes, as a kid I did watch the original cartoon and I did have the toys. Bay made a movie about 40ft tall robots, what do you expect it to be??? The only complaint about the movie I had was that action was hard to keep up with sometimes because of the fast camera motions. Other than that, I thought it was a pretty good product. Also, what the hell was so bad about flames on Optimus Prime. Get off your PS3's, turn off your super deluxe Pokemon and Dragonball Z DVD set, and get out of your house for once you crying little ninnies.
Re: "we don't like Shia/Bayformers" by NiceGuyEddie19	Aug 25th, 2008 11:21:53 AM
You consist of a couple of hundred people who were too blunt witted to let go of Soundwave turning into a tape deck and Megatron turning into a pistol and enjoy an updated, rejuvinated TF franchise with the rest of the world. Not only does Hollywood not know you don't like it, they wouldn't give a fuck if they did know.
Uh... ick? by allykatD	Aug 25th, 2008 11:22:00 AM
I like Shia but I so not impressed by those photos. I liked Disturbia. He was good in Transformers and Indiana Jones despite the bad material. I believe he has talent and has a bright future in Hollywood (if he doesn't self destruct first), but he doesn't have a 'shirtless' kind of body. He's too skinny, and sure he has a little bit of muscle def but it's because he IS skinny. And most of all he needs to bag that smoking habit. That is SO unattractive. Blech. I'm looking forward to Eagle Eye, but to tell the truth, it's the premise of the movie that attracts me more than the star.
Mr_Saxon by skimn	Aug 25th, 2008 11:29:10 AM
That movie would be Gayformers, where Prius and Honda Civis turn into giant vibrators and butt plugs.

Deliverance on Shia's ass. That's not a homophobic joke, I'm sure he'd agree. Does it occur to any of the Shia glee-club or whatever you call 'em that maybe the reason he annoys us is that he plays the same one-note wannabe wiseguy in every single thing he's in. Maybe he'll get some range eventually. Through osmosis or something.
Ok..ok..ok..but then... by Darth Macchio	Aug 25th, 2008 11:41:08 AM
...why the need to have comic relief characters that amount to either mocking the material they're in or simply screaming the whole time? A friend of mine hates...HATES..rap music and hiphop. There's a lot I don't like but there's some I do and I recognize it as being a legitimate musical form. But my friend thinks it's complete shit and not even music. Just like how our parents didn't consider what we listened to in high school as music! So I try to avoid the whole 'getting older, tastes get narrow' thing but even as a kid I wouldn't have found a character screaming every word of dialogue fun much less watchable. I would have maybe bought a super-hottie blonde aussie female computer nerd and even dealt with the jar-jar antics of the cd-player decepticon but it's really all the Bay shit he brought along that fucks it up. Once thing I will say, outside of the mini car commercials throughout the movie, Bay's getting the hang of non-stop product placement. It wasn't as near a distraction in Transformers as it was in 'The Island'.
"And how did Harry do that for you... by Kid Z	Aug 25th, 2008 11:42:25 AM
... where Shia doesn't amount or come close?" Same way as always... she has access to Harry's bank account, not Shia's. Not saying she's a bad person... that behavior's pretty much genetically ingrained in females. Fact of life.

Who cares about transformers. Did anyone see the first one? I couldn't belief what I saw. Gives a great image of how america works. Teenager wants first car. Does everything to get one. Gives a crappy paper at shool. Teacher has petty so gives him an A anyway. Guy get's car = get's girl and then saves the world. Only in america.

BAYFORMERS Is Kinda Fun, But Also Kinda Sucky by LaserPants	Aug 25th, 2008 01:22:24 PM
I liked it okay, but it could've been so much better if all of Bay's directorial decisions weren't made whilst snorting fat lines of coke off of the script.
Coulda been worse... by Darth Macchio	Aug 25th, 2008 01:30:13 PM
..not like they played shitty blues rock from George Thoroughgood or anything. Or John Leguizamo in a fat body clown suit. Bay could have made giant sized Air Jordan's for the 'bots too...I mean that's worse right?

shia hate by SpawnofAchilles	Aug 25th, 2008 02:43:35 PM
been over this before, but the reason I hate shia is that he has no edge, he is not cool or tough in any way, and lacking those things I can't get behind him, he's pretty charasmatic but usually annoys the fuck out of me in movies because he's either an annoying, unecessary sidekick (i robot, constantine etc) or he's a not believable lead as in shia getting with meghan fox (I dont give a shit if hes friends with giant robots or not) just cant swallow that. He's too disney/cookie cutter for my tastes...thoughts, responses from the shia defenders?
Dear PoeticWarrior... by LaserPants	Aug 25th, 2008 02:46:11 PM
What in the name of sweet holy fuck-holes does this mean: "If you mean to say that because you're some kind of shitastic dumb ass that uses that word to try to shout down weaklings who allow shit sniffing imbeciles to keep them quiet with PC pig shit then no." I literally have no idea what this means. Is this your poetry? And whats with the scatological obsession? Are you into poop? Gross! But hey, you might be onto something here -- incoherent, sub-literate homophobic scatological (poopy) fetish poetry! You should hit some poetry slams and test out your verse. Watch out though, there are usually fags at those places and you might wind up sucking one (or several) of their cocks "by accident."

Your envy of the true vagina is showing you bitter little tranny. What's the problem? Business a little slow in boys town on Santa Monica Blvd. Are you a widdle angwee manginina because you can't turn the sweet tricks anymore and now you have to service the angry excons and suburban dudes on the down low? Just a little remineder rent boy, people might, and I stress might, think you were hetro if your post didn't ring of fake " I'm straight claims", cock longing and the fact that you're a friend of Dorthy.

Hollywood sucks because.... by jmac4ever	Aug 25th, 2008 03:31:51 PM
....they think that everyone has to have a six pack. I thought the whole selling point for Shia was that he looked like an everyday guy. I thought that was his whole appeal. Like they were saying, "Hey, here's a short, scrawny, goofy dude that normal people can relate to!" One sequel later and that normal dude has abs of steel. Which means that, even though Shia already has a couple blockbusters under his belt, somebody still looked at him and said, "Dude, time to hit the gym!" Hollywood sucks.

Where and when did all the male actors lose their edge? by zinc_chameleon	Aug 25th, 2008 04:13:09 PM
The last movie I saw where someone had an edge was 'Doomsday' and that was Rhona Mitra. What a weird time we live in: the women are going crazy developing an edge, and most of the male actors are wusses, if Shia is any indication of the future. Give me Arnold and Sly anytime.
Disturbia was #1 for two weeks by drewlicious	Aug 25th, 2008 04:16:59 PM
And chances are it was because it was a slasher pic for teenagers, because for some reason teenage girls come out in droves for stuff that makes them squeal, and because of Shia Lebouf. And will people here please stop talking about his lack of range. Most actors are lucky to be able to play themselves convincingly at 22 let alone render themselves unrecognizable. That criticism will become valid when he's closer to 30, in the meantime I'll just assume these people don't know what they're talking about until I'm convinced otherwise.

Talkbackers by kataklysmic	Aug 25th, 2008 08:07:55 PM
I think the collossal opening weekend of Snakes on a Plane proved to the world the mighty power that the fanboy/talkbacker community holds in their hands...not. All you polesmoking Bayhaters can piss and whine and boycott Transformers 2 and stay home and masturbate to your fucking anime and it won't do a goddamn thing to this juggernaught that will most likely be the top grossing film of '09. I'm sure Bay and Shia will stay up nights wringing their hands about your collective criticism...in between beer runs in their Bugattis and snorting coke of the shaved snatches of supermodels that is.
I won't pay to see Transformers 2 for one reason. by Rev. Slappy	Aug 25th, 2008 08:47:39 PM
It's simple: fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....I can kind of see somebody who grew up with the toys or the old cartoon in enjoying the first one on some kind of nostalgic level. But for anybody to try and actually argue that it's a good movie is beyond saving. It's a terrible movie on practically every level. ILM brought their A game on the robots and Bay can't even cut the film in a coherent manner so we can see them. Has there ever been a greater hack who has gotten as high on the A list of directors as Bay has?

Whatever... by Grimjack99	Aug 25th, 2008 09:06:13 PM
...I can't believe this many people are getting so worked up over this. "OMG! Michael Bay ass-raped my childhood! Flames on Optimus! Bumblebee peeing on a fed!" You DO realize you're crying over a badly-animated 20 year old cartoon, don't you? Yes, I enjoyed TF G1 back in the day, had most of the figures, and loved the original movie (with all its death) to pieces. But guess what? I STILL liked the new movie, changes and all. This ain't G1, people. It never was, and looking back at the old cartoon, I'm glad it ain't. The cartoon was written for 12 year olds (granted, I was a few years older than that, but I still haven't stopped watching cartoons that are written for kids), the animation was about one or two steps up from Ralph Bakshi's Spider-Man, and Spike Witwicky needed to DIE in the first episode. You don't want to like the new TF franchise? Fine, don't. Big whoop. But don't think that because YOU don't like it, that it somehow sucks on a universal level, 'cause it doesn't, 'cause you're quite frankly not that important to the universe. Accept the fact that it's your own fucking personal opinion and ain't universally reviled, and that Michael Bay will continue to make these films as long as they continue to do well financially and he has fun with them. And yes, I hope your life sucks because of this. I hope you lose weeks upon weeks of sleep knowing that they're going to make more changes to your beloved childhood heroes, and I hope you end up going down on a revolver because of your despair, 'cause it aint' going to change. The only reason these things irritate you so much, and will continue to do so, is because YOU LET THEM.
Rev. Slappy by Grimjack99	Aug 25th, 2008 09:12:16 PM
I thought so too, at first. Then I realized that there's just so damned much visual stuff hitting you for the first two hours, that by the last half hour you can't process anymore, and things get difficult to follow. Try watching just the last 1/2 hour and see if that makes a difference.

Just a Toy boneheads by Samuel Fulmer	Aug 26th, 2008 07:57:05 AM
Look, yeah Transformers was a toy line and a somewhat goofy 80's cartoon that spawned a somewhat goofy cartoon movie that had memorable cheese songs like "The Touch." But you know what, the core story of two groups of battling alien robots could be translated to live action a lot better than Bay's "Let's make a PG-13 American Pie that isn't funny and have battling alien robots in it for about 15 minutes of the 2 hr. and 30 min run time." I guess if we should go off of the It's just a toy/cartoon/etc. logic, a good Batman movie should never have been made because really it's just a comic book made to sell ad space for crappy video games and X-Ray specs. No one expects The Rules of the Game or even Blade Runner from a live action Transformers movie, but no one should expect a film that doesn't even focus on what the "franchise" is about...fighting robots. The franchise isn't about some dufus who crashes his SUV and almost loses his hand a la Luke in Empire. The Transformers movie is the equivalant of that old Godzilla movie Godzilla's Revenge, with Shia as the little kid who runs around the whole movie and just happens to meet Godzilla for two mintues of the running time.

Mr. Fulmer by Grimjack99	Aug 26th, 2008 09:39:18 AM
I can certainly see what you're getting at there. The lack of robot action/appearances in the film was more of a financial difficulty than a script weakness. They don't give specific numbers, but a significant chunk of the film's budget went towards those sequences, and this being the first live-action outing, there was no way Dreamworks and Paramount were going to let the project get out of hand with the budget. As it made money, we're told that there will be more robots on both sides, and more action. We'll see.
Grimjack99-I understand SFX budget by Samuel Fulmer	Aug 26th, 2008 09:54:49 AM
If that's the case though, they should've made the film 90 minutes and spent less time on the teen comedy/military fetish crap. But now with pt. II it looks like the focus is still going to be on the Shia character. To me, the first movie succeeded with the robot battles, but it couldn't save the fact that the bulk of the story was a poorly done coming of age film. If they had to somehow bring the audience in, they could've done a better job than what amounted to little more than a bad episode of Saved by the Bell mixed with Gone in 60 Seconds. Now with the plot of 2 coming out..Shia's in college...it's seems like once again it's going down the same route. They're tyring to make this a Shia Labeof vehicle, not a Michael Bay SFX vehicle, which is what it should be. I wouldn't mind if the human characters were engaging, but they're nothing more than poorly drawn sterotypes that wouldn't even play out in a 70's Corman exploitation film. I do have some hope for pt.II based on the strong action/SFX sequences of the first, but I have a feeling it's just going to be another coming of age story shoehorned into robot fights.

what steams the fans is the potential of Transformers. You could have had a really awesome action movie. Like Predator. Like Terminator. Like Robocop. (well, almost) Something that would have gone down as being awesome. An crazy premise made real, with bad ass villains. Instead we got a half comedy half action popcorn flick that will just be a tv re run. I can see why people liked it, but I cant see why people didnt see the POTENTIAL and get mad. The enemy of perfect is good enough.

On Shia by kinksy	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:33:00 PM
Every talkback concerning him has to have hundreds of posts and I usually don't add my two cents but I will this time. The fanboys hate him because he's ugly. They sit there watching him and think "I'm ugly, and a smartass and I could act just as good as him so why does he deserve all the fame and attention and chicks??" It's the same reason you can't hate Johnny Depp, because he's the most gorgeous man in the world and guys respect that because they know they could never be him but Shia's not good looking. That said, I still think he's sexy and would gladly be a member of his harem.
