sorry for how long this post is, feel free to tl;dr me
again: bad scripts, BAD ACTING. plus, the reviews for Rosie have been mixed with IGN giving her a pass and IGN is the one the nerds (the bread and butter of the franchise) listen to like a bible.
Megan does not sell tickets. Passion Play went straight to DVD, Jennifer's Body was panned because people were pissed Diablo Cody didn't or couldn't deliver another Juno and... Oh, I'm sorry, am I supposed to count her 15 minutes on screen in the massive box office failure of Jonah Hex to be her "drawing in ticket sales?" She's famous as a spank bank girl, not as an actress with talent and a viable draw on audiences outside of the franchise. Don't kid yourselves, she doesn't and that's part of why she left the series to begin with. That and she compared Bay to Hitler and producer Steven Spielberg advised canning her. Are YOU better in touch with Hollywood than Spielberg?
Now, I
LOVE Megan because she is one bodacious, killer, hot *** piece (before she froze her face), but as far as this "It's only Megan, Megan, Megan!" stuff, of COURSE they are name dropping her. She is famous, Rosie as of yet is not and there's little that can be said about her. No one really knows about her performance nor has her private life become a real point of relevance yet. Megan is finishing her tenure as the Transformers pony whether she likes it or not and a new horse is at the gate rearing and ready to try.
Megan built a massive success for herself from the first two movies and her exit was controversial for all of the parties involved. People want to know what happened, they're going to ask questions about it now that it's an after-the-fact situation and not something that has to remain a closely guarded secret anymore and there is NO amount of dignity or class that is going to stop people from prying into these details.
Also, I think it's kind of funny that people in here are bashing Shia for the same sort of upfront and frank candor that Megan is lauded and praised for, or is it only the unnaturally sexy actresses that are allowed to speak their minds these days? Heaven forbid poor little pity screw Shia should speak openly about the events that took place in his life. He should be grateful she even deigned to glance in his direction, he's so below her, though it sure sounds like she was beneath him too!
sorry, hypocrisy bothers me.
