Just saying some of you should have paid better attention in your 9th grade civics classes.

Word is bond.

Too bad I didn't take civics classes in the 9th grade...

I have to put up with this same exact BS on another forum. I don't need to take this crap.

Please do not attack people over their spelling and/or grammar. For all we know english may not be their native language or they have a condition which makes it difficult for them to communicate clearly.

I have a few arguments, none of them work particularly well together, but I want to use them anyway:

1. CrimsonPrime's grammar may not be perfect, but it's still much, much better than leviebaby's. It's more of a case of the dark gray sweater calling the kettle black.

2. You don't use proper capitalization. Maybe you should check that before calling people out on their grammar.

3. This ">.>" is called an emoticon. They've been in use since the beginning of the internet. While you can fault people for using them in things like fanfiction or written works, they're practically a staple of forum posts.

4. I don't know what browser you use, but I know Firefox doesn't have grammar check. In my experience, though, most programs that use grammar check are rarely reliable at all, but whatever it is you're using must be way worse, seeing as how it's combustible.

Wow, hey thanks for completely ignoring my request to not pick on people regarding their spelling and grammar.

Now unfortunately this topic can't be locked as it's a news post, but if things aren't brought back on track then the staff will be really annoyed because we'll have to waste time splitting posts off.

Don't annoy the staff ...

Bay is a chronic liar, Spielberg may be going along with it only to try to direct attention away from the director on the matter, improve the overall image of the film as they've been continuously trying to do since peoples opinion of Bay fell after ROTF. Either way, I do not care, they just traded one botox bimbo for another.

To be fair Bay is a chronic liar to us, the Transformers fans, to try and contain spoilers about the films he knows we'll try to dig up. Just look at what happened with DotM. And Bay's never cared what critics think of him, having admitted he makes films for the audience first and formost. While is "apologies" about RotF were fuled by critical opinion, it was Hasbro pushing that agenda. Audiences (the vast majority of them) see nothing to apologize for.

What I'm trying to say is basically that Fox screwed up and got fired for being an air headed b**** to her coworkers and boss. There's no kind of image saving conspiracy at play here.

dont ever ask anyone to show respect to bay, when you use such offensive words to describe someone, you wont be taken seriously

my my isnt are a lot of vitriol and anger here.

- first of all, can we please for the love of jebis drop the ridiculous freedom of speech argument. It sounds like school kids arguing, i cannot say what i like, freedom of speech. yeah you can, but you msut also be aware of the repercusions if you do say what you like. even if in this case, i dont think this is the full story behind the cancelling of her contract (she wasnt fired)

- is there a need for the msyogynistic language, air head bitch, bimbo, etc. Im not saying people are chauvanists but using language like that can be seen as being that way

- why do people complain about her being in the movie

if its because of the character - blame the scriptwriter
if its her presence - blame the casting crew and director/producers
if its the sexy image she portrayed - blame the director for shooting it that way and leaving it in the edit.

- whats the big deal about turning down the king of Jordan. maybe Fox is an arch Republican (not US version). Maybe she doesnt like human rights abuses, yes Jordan has the least worst record in the middle east, but thats like saying you wont the nobel peace price when the other candidates were hitler, stalin, pol pot and ida amin. I appreciate its unlikely she did turn the invite down for those reasons, but since we dont know, its as valid speculation as anything else

- if she is ugly i wont to see all of your super model girlfriends, cos they must be smoking !!!!!!!

I've seen a number of cases popping up where the person has been terminated via social media, and for some reason they seem to be winning.

Guess you can't beat a good old fashioned in your face "YOU'RE FIRED!"

no, no you cannot!
but the thing that urks me the most is, she's a character, not just an actor. they should have fired her after a DOTM Scene or two, explaining how and why she dumped shia, because they bonded so much in ROTF, I mean, they should at least explain why in the third movie, or have a cameo, or something.... anything, I don't care if she dies!

It's because she's a terrible actress. For that, you blame the actress.

They'll probably mention it in the movie. They spent much of the early scenes in ROTF saying they can't possibly stay together forever, more than likely someone will just say "I told you so!"

if she was that bad, why was she cast.

The person who employed her, and continued to employ her is to blame for that

besides when did acting matter a damn in the TF movies

LOL! I was being ironic. And yes, I did screw up on caps.
I also know that this >.> and this X.X and this -.-' are all emoticons. He just uses them in such a frequent fashion as to were every comment by him that you read is annoying due to the fact that he just has to add one of his own emoticons to the mix when there are so many available! The list is huge, and seeing the mix is creative and all, but he uses them in a really snooty way: Everything you say is wrong >.>.......
Anyway, my opinion rules! Don't you forget it!

That kind of stuff. He also says "And don't try and counter my comment! I know I'm in the right here!"
He just pisses me off sometimes, and to make so many Grammar mistakes while correcting someone else's Grammar is just dumb!
My cap problem is an immediate fault that I shall fix!
I apologize!

It's a common occurrence that many directors don't realize how awful an actor or actress is going to be until it's too late.

shamone wrote:The person who employed her, and continued to employ her is to blame for that

While that is true, we can still blame her for being terrible at her job. Having other people work with you doesn't suddenly excuse you for doing a poor job.

shamone wrote:besides when did acting matter a damn in the TF movies

I think it was around the time we had to actually watch it.

Half right. It's still your fault the second time.

I don't know that anyone did, but unfortunately the theater doesn't let you fast forward past all the parts where you're forced to watch her pretend to act.

One question... If you're that friggin' concerned about acting, WTF are you doing watching a TF movie in the first place? Really! That's like going to McDonalds and complaining about your lack of a fine dining experience...

Careful, you'll get people jumping at you saying that's not a valid arguement. Even though it is.

This. The movie's focus is on the robots any way! And so far, they've done a great job acting.

Let me answer that by posting quoting what I just said:

It's more like going to McDonald's and complaining someone took a crap in your fries.

If the focus is on the robots, why do the humans get so much more screen time?
