Unfortunately because it's attached to a news story it can't be.

Best thing to do is just ignore it. It'll die off in a couple of days.

So if you were directly compared to a dictator and mass murderer, you'd be a-okay with it?


Actually, i get compared to devil worshippers and called a heathen on a weekly basis, im sure thats kinda worse than what your suggesting, and thats just because i worship the old gods. Also i HAVE been compared to Hitler, as ive stated int his thread more than once. I have been in management a few times, and a couple of times its been thrown at me for being obsessed with my work, and having my hands in everything, and accepting no excuses for failure. But you know what i do............IGNORE IT! Because i'll explain AGAIN, that i dont think its a fantastic thing to say, but shes hardly saying he's a mass murderer, but the dictcator part, because thats what he does DICTATES!!! (while on film anyway).

On a side note it seems as if this argument is also backed up by people (not totally but partially) on the pro or anti megan arguments. I wonder if you back tracked to the arguments in the live action forum about megan and looked at pro's and anti's it'd be the similar people to those arguing the same points here. Not all i'll admit, but alot.

one last thing before this thing closes...

did michael found the comparison cute/amusing/funny/flattering/insulting/doesn't care? because megan got fired when steven found it insulting the comment megan aimed at michael. if michael fired megan because michael wanted to then i won't object because it's their problem. from the looks of things steven intruded in a fight he wasn't part of.


i speak from experience when i jokingly congratulated another poster (in another forum) "old man" in his birthday thread then all the other posters when berserk that i called him that (lot of name calling followed). the funny thing was the birthday celebrant understood it was a joke and he's fine with that. if the dude was offended then i would've apologized.

from what i know, michael didn't react much so i guess it doesn't bother him.

yeah, if Fox was fired because she compared him to Hitler due to his Dictator-like reign on the movies, well, it's a little unfair. I mean, she probably couldn't name any other dictators to use for comparison.

So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."

I'll stand by it. If you're that butthurt over this, IMO you're too damn sensitive. She's saying the same thing EVERYONE says about Bay, he's a PITA to work for and he's demanding as all get out! Once again, a great choice? No, mostly because there are too many PC pusses that will look for foul in it. Hell, if it were me, I'd be more put off by 'awkward, no social skills' part. But from what I just read, there's nothing malicious there and absolutely nothing anti-Semitic. And your 'go in and angrily call your boss Hitler' argument is also flawed because it never happened. That above quote, most people could say something pretty similar and there would be no issue.


thankfully some one posted the actual quote

this now puts to bed the following

- she creamed this at him to his face

- she said it in front of the crew

So the whole if you screamed at your boss like that would you get fired, is dismissed. And to be fair if i did say that to my boss, i would only be too happy to get the sack, because in my country we have employment laws, and if i was summarily dismissed because of this, i would enjoymy day in court and my substantial settlement for unfair dismissal.

No she made a comment about his attitude on set. She called him napolean to, was there any oprium about that. Further more and here is the important phrase, in the context of what she wa ssaying, she wasnt saying he is like hitler, because he tried to exterminate all the jews, or he used democratic means to install himself as a tyrant and led Europe to a second world war, but that he was dictatorial and bossy on set.


If she said stalin, chairman mao, etc would there be the uproar. of course not. Secondly if bay was so offended why did he wait til spielberg say she has to go. and hwy was this announed before the opening of the movie.

And finally, the one thing this thread did was to reveal that some people here dont really care about what she said, they just want to bash the person, this attitude exemplified by those who used the words tart, bitch, ugly, etc. Says more about you than her that you use those words to describe someone you have never met.

Now let me ask you an honest question..
I understand you shrug off hitler or other insults when your at work. For the most part, i do as well. I joke around with my guys at work. I think you have to be able to to keep the tension down. But at some point, even if it might not bother you cause your used to hearing it, at some point it stops being about what your comfortable with, and it turns into a respect issue. If your coworkers/employee's are talking about you in that manner, then my guess is there respect level for you has dropped. Also, if they blasted you like that in public or behind your back (which IMO, is worse than to your face), would you just shrugg it off the same as it was in the office?
So its not nessasarly about what someone finds unsulting, but about sending a messasage about respect.

im sorry but they do. you get the man-bay-lovers out in force saying that bay should not be disrespected, that we have all disrespected him as badly as those who have threatened to kill him and called over to his house (true story)

the same people who have no issue with attacking megan fox with hateful laguage

and since i have been temperate in my arguments about bay, criticising his work and style, not the man, i can make that point

Yawwwwwwww, been a while since I've been on here. But I figured, hey, "Moon" comes out this week, should visit the ol forum, see whose fighting, and what better way to do so then a thread about Megan! I was going to pick the thread about Shia, but I like talking about Megan better.

Why?

Cause I now have an excuse to post a picture of Megan!

Image

Yay :KREMZEEK:

Here's what I'm getting from all this. Mind you not all this here in this thread, all this in the publicity in general. Megan gave Bay some ribbing on set, Bay told on her to big poppy Steven, even though it didnt bother him that much :roll: , Steven gave her the axe because of the "Hitler" quip, not so much Napolean quip. Well, for me anyways, I think it's a desperate ploy on the Marketers part (Yes, everything bad can and will be blamed on marketers and publicists) to play off an old story (Cause the Hitler story thing isn't anything new really, it broke quite a while ago, a few months if not last year I believe) to revolve more interest on "Moon", using Megan Fox yet again cause why? They can't seem to market this film effectivley without her it's seems. And for all the nay sayers here who are "Megan can't do this, Megan can't do that", we all as a forum simply cannot seem to get enough of her.

As for what happened between Megan and Bay personally, I think the best truth of the situation arose out of an interview Shia gave about Megan, how she wasn't used to Bays form of direction towards women. After two films worth of Bay's "Direction", which I'm sure consisted of, "Alright, smash your t!t$ together and get that @$$ up in the air, now pout, pout dammit I'm Michael blow $h!t up Bay!" (I censored in respect to the kiddies here on the forum) She just gave a little back of what M-Bay dishes on set, he cried to Steven, the rest is history. I really think Megan wasn't expecting Bay to cry to Steven, and the remarks she made carried no more malice then when Jerry Seinfeild created a character on the telly called the Soup Nazi, she was making a quip about Bay being a Dictator on set, not attacking the Jewish community and Steven personally. Nor was she attacking the French community either for that matter. :roll: But hey, maybe I'm over analyzing about Bay's direction of women on set. I mean, it's not like the screen capture I have of Megan from Transformers reflects anything that I posted about a hypothetical conversation I made up about her @$$ in the...oh wait

the nly bit you are off with is, megan made those comments in a print interview, not in front of bay or the crew.

Of course the posters on here who said it was wrong to say it in front of him and the crew, will now say it was wrong to do it behind his back

apart from that its fairly accurate appraisal.

i did bring up the soup nazi reference myself, and then the fact that seinfeld used schindlers list in a later episode of seinfeld. Who directed schindlers list again.

I understand you shrug off hitler or other insults when your at work. For the most part, i do as well. I joke around with my guys at work. I think you have to be able to to keep the tension down.

Also, if they blasted you like that in public or behind your back (which IMO, is worse than to your face), would you just shrugg it off the same as it was in the office?
So its not nessasarly about what someone finds unsulting, but about sending a messasage about respect.


I think combative is a good word, and theres no point in having a slanging match when you can debate and learn from each other. I have my opinions, but im always open for different ways of looking at things, its when other people dont listen (or read) others opinions problems start. On a side note, i am a very sarcastic lad, and its opened my eyes a little seeing that maybe not everyone takes things in the way its meant, well more so than i already knew.


Back to the point, i must admit, yes respect did become an issue, mainly because i had mostly ex-squaddies working for me, and i was a lot younger than them (i was 24 when i got the job) and that was always a problem. But, if i had gone to my boss with a tale of them being disrespectful and saying what she said then my boss wouldve told me to sod off, and sort it out myself (ie take them into a room and talk to them about it). I physically could not sack someone for saying those types of things. As i think is stated somewhere else in this thread the work laws in the UK are so in favour of the employee (rightly or wrongly but im not getting into that here) that its almost impossible to sack someone for things said (unless threatening or hate mongering). Maybe the vast majority (me included) are looking at this too black or white, maybe this is one of those many grey areas.

First thing is first, another sexy pic of Megan! Bonus, it's animated!!!!
(may not be appropreate for children, in a movie revolving around toys....for children 8-} )

Ahhhh, anyways down to business....


shamone wrote:the nly bit you are off with is, megan made those comments in a print interview, not in front of bay or the crew.
Of course the posters on here who said it was wrong to say it in front of him and the crew, will now say it was wrong to do it behind his back
apart from that its fairly accurate appraisal.
i did bring up the soup nazi reference myself, and then the fact that seinfeld used schindlers list in a later episode of seinfeld. Who directed schindlers list again.
the warrior goddess will live on and prosper


Ah, so she didn't say it to Bay in front of his crew on set? Yeah....this makes this thing that more rediculous really. There are alot of people who have made comments about Bay being a tyrant on set on more then one occasion, both actors and set hands. In fact I know a set builder who worked on the first film who shared a few horror stories, needless to say he did not return to work on "Fallen" when he was offered. Yeah honestly, Megan being fired on those terms is rather crude, if thats the standard, Bay should have been fired a while ago when he publically stated that he wasn't going to film "Moon" in 3D because it's stupid and he doesn't want all the jobs going to India.... for me thats more of a loaded comment then Megan's or rather, anyone really. And then he turns around and behold, it's in 3D! Not only is it in 3D! But when he has some technical problems and people begin to criticize, he goes Ape sh!# on his forum, and no doubt cried to Steven about that too. Now, he's so dedicated to the thing that he hated in the beginning because it's taking all our jobs away and giving them to "Poeple in India", that he wrote letters (still skeptical) to the theatres to make his 3D look good? :BANG_HEAD: Yeah, that series of actions for me speaks louder then any thing Megan did, in fact she hasn't even hissed back at anyone....about any of this, shes moved on in life. It's interesting that Bay is the one dishing out all the details, even though this didnt bother him that much, to bring more attention to his glorious 3D work of art as we seak up on opening night. Classy move there bub, real choice.
You know who is a real man? Josh Brolin, one of the original Goonies, who took verbal abuse from Megan on the Red carpet in front of cameras, and just smiled. Why, cause he's a man whose got balls thats why. He knew they were just teasing each other, harmless fun. He didn't go crying to his boss cause the mean lady was picking on him, no one got fired, no one got bad press, just laughed it off, had fun, moved on with life. And that happened to his face, "ON CAMERA!", let alone some random writen interview that I didn't even know about till it broke in the news.

Yes, the warrior goddess will live on, she's already moving on in life.

Aye, tiss so so true ha ha ha. I wouldn't doubt it, the thing that gets me to this day is that she actually "gained weight" for the film prior to filming this. How does that work?!?!?!?!

Anyways, time for yet another picture of Megan!
Yay!

Image

And another bonus pic, just for kicks. This one again from Transformers, highlighting Bay's unique camera direction. It's amazing how many racy pics I can find just in Transformers alone ha ha ha.

Yawwwwwwww, been a while since I've been on here. But I figured, hey, "Moon" comes out this week, should visit the ol forum, see whose fighting, and what better way to do so then a thread about Megan! I was going to pick the thread about Shia, but I like talking about Megan better.

Why?

Cause I now have an excuse to post a picture of Megan!

Image

Yay :KREMZEEK:

Here's what I'm getting from all this. Mind you not all this here in this thread, all this in the publicity in general. Megan gave Bay some ribbing on set, Bay told on her to big poppy Steven, even though it didnt bother him that much :roll: , Steven gave her the axe because of the "Hitler" quip, not so much Napolean quip. Well, for me anyways, I think it's a desperate ploy on the Marketers part (Yes, everything bad can and will be blamed on marketers and publicists) to play off an old story (Cause the Hitler story thing isn't anything new really, it broke quite a while ago, a few months if not last year I believe) to revolve more interest on "Moon", using Megan Fox yet again cause why? They can't seem to market this film effectivley without her it's seems. And for all the nay sayers here who are "Megan can't do this, Megan can't do that", we all as a forum simply cannot seem to get enough of her.

As for what happened between Megan and Bay personally, I think the best truth of the situation arose out of an interview Shia gave about Megan, how she wasn't used to Bays form of direction towards women. After two films worth of Bay's "Direction", which I'm sure consisted of, "Alright, smash your t!t$ together and get that @$$ up in the air, now pout, pout dammit I'm Michael blow $h!t up Bay!" (I censored in respect to the kiddies here on the forum) She just gave a little back of what M-Bay dishes on set, he cried to Steven, the rest is history. I really think Megan wasn't expecting Bay to cry to Steven, and the remarks she made carried no more malice then when Jerry Seinfeild created a character on the telly called the Soup Nazi, she was making a quip about Bay being a Dictator on set, not attacking the Jewish community and Steven personally. Nor was she attacking the French community either for that matter. :roll: But hey, maybe I'm over analyzing about Bay's direction of women on set. I mean, it's not like the screen capture I have of Megan from Transformers reflects anything that I posted about a hypothetical conversation I made up about her @$$ in the...oh wait

I'm Josh, and I'm a pround memeber of Team Megan ;)


Wow that's one beautiful pic of megan fox. I never saw it that up close & crystal clear like this before.

Now i'm wondering if i can find/buy a poster of this megan fox on the bike ROTF Poster.

I wish they didn't fire her, but it is understandable. I'm interested to see how well her replacement Rosie Huntington-Whitley "acts."

After seeing the film for the second time, i kinda found a HUGE loophole in Bay, and old stevie's comments.

If your listening to the part where you first meet the wreckers, its quite clear you hear the comment

"Ya Nazi w*****"

if he was soooooooooooooooooooooo offended by it, why would he allow that line for a bicker between friends????

1. There's a big difference between two characters saying that in a script and actually calling someone a Nazi in real life.

2. Bay didn't really care. Spielberg, however, clearly had no more patience left for Megan.

3. Rosie is both hotter and a better actress, so it all worked out.

4. What's the third word supposed to be? The one with a W and then five asterisks? There's only one word I can think of like that that would be considered offensive, but it's not a work "redneck" type characters like the Wreckers would use.

W & Then five asterisks? Sounds like a word George Jefferson use to call Willis in the Jeffersons Televison sitcom show.

I'm a huge megan fox supporter & even I don't care that she wasn't in DOTM.

If anyone wants to see more megan fox,then simply watch all her other non-TF movies.

I loved see rosie in DOTM because she IMHO was more beatiful in every way possible.

yeh i certainly wanted to slap her a few times ( i am not advocating female abuse)

she sucked ass imo. I actually thought she was american her accent was that bad.

And her acting was below par. For me megan was hotter, better actress (not a great challenge) and was more hands on get involved in the action

It's not the first time a Brit's accent has been panned.

Charles Shaughnessy of The Nanny was told by letters from fans that he needed to work on his accent so he'd sound like Daniel Davis, who played his butler Niles and Moriarity in TNG. Here's the thing, Davis is from Arkansas....

Natural accents suck I guess. Or it could be that we're so used to horrible Hollywood work that we don't know the real thing when it's staring us in the face? ;)
