Excuse me? Just where the **** do you get off calling me an idiot?
You interpret what was said one way, I interpret it another. That does NOT make me an idiot simply because my thought patterns are different from yours.
No one called you an idiot chief. Calm down and read thoroughly next time. I called the way Shia was typing idiotic.
I guess it's how you want to interpret "reunite". It can mean anything from getting together at an audition, to being cast together in the same movie. Considering it supposedly comes from Shia, a actor in the movie, I, and obviously others, have taken that he is meaning they're reunited for the movie, and have taken reunited as being cast together.
The problem here is that your logic has NOTHING to support it. You're accepting a singular possibility that is no more likely than many others simply because you WANT to. And based on this you are calling someone elses actions into question. This is baseless, sorry.
And when you're done there, go look up the story "The boy who cried wolf". Shia would fit the role of the boy perfectly.
Unfortunately, no he wouldn't.
In this case he'd be the boy who cried Wolf, then said 'BTW, wolfs exist and live in the woods.' and was then responded to by people claiming he said a wolf was attacking again.
But in a way are you not jumping to conclusions as well?
No, actually, I'm not. Saying that there are many posibilities and that one singular one is no more supported than another =/= not jumping to a conclusion.
Good thing i've never wanted to get a boycott going against a movie. Who knows what conclusions you'd jump to about me then.
Come on Burn, I know you're more intelligent than to think I was talking about you there.
Your interpreation ... my interpretation ... who's right? Obviously you must be because i'm simply, as you've implied, an idiot.
Please stop being so offended on the internet. Once again, no one called you an idiot and you're getting your panties in a twist about it.
I have to agree with Burn on the legitimacy of the MySpace Account. Granted, that is a pretty rare photo op right there with two legends, and it has to be pretty recent. However, that does not necessarily mean that the MySpace Account is in fact Shia's Account. This could be someone who has access to such places and also enjoys pretending to be Shia.
Oh, that's easily a possibility. The problem here is that Burn and others make claims that essentially state that, even if it is Shia's account, thie picture is a lie and is claiming something that IS NOT BEING CLAIMED.
IF it's Shia's Myspace page I would regard it as even less credible than if it came from any other Myspace page.
While this statement DOES call into question who's myspace it is, it also calls into question the validity of the photo. There's nothing about the photo to call into question. At no point is it stated, or even hinted at, that this means anything other than Frank Welker and Peter Cullen were in the same room at the same time somewhat recently.
Jumping to the conclusion that Shia is stating that Welker is playing Megatron, or any OTHER possibility, has no basis. There is not enough information given to form any coherant thesis. Thus, Burn is injecting his own inherant bias and wants into the thought process an coming to a spurious conclusion even though it is barely tagental to the picture in question.
No one, not the myspace site, not the picture, nor this news article(on this site or any other I've seen) ever made any claim that this picture was proof of Welker being Megatron. Infact, atleast one other site specifically mentioned that Shia never makes this claim.
In a news post that is, essentially, about a picture of two of our former hero's reuniting, discussion about Shia and his past activities is tagental to the topic at best. It'd be like Seibertron making a news post on his myspace about an upcoming TF release and me replying "Thats not Seibertron! There's no proof!"
It could theoretically be true, but it has nothing to do with the story and is a random accusation.
