A Socialite's Life I wouldn't normally link to a Robert Pattison on set! thing (who cares?) but in truth I have read this book they're making into a movie Water For Elephants.

I commented about Shia a couple days ago and I agree with the article but I still have mixed feelings about his comments. There's no way he went read the script for Transformers 2 and Indy 4 and thought it was going to be good. I can't be mad at him for taking the paycheck and running though.
As wreckless and rude as Megan Fox's comments were, I think they were coming from a more honest place than Shia's. I think it's the fact that he's being critical in the most politically correct manner. Why don't you just call them up and tell them how you feel?

or better yet... tell them DURING.
we all know that this is one of the chief problems with George Lucas's output after he became a mega gagillionaire pop culture god. Nobody would say no to him no matter how terrible the ideas were.
This is somewhat off-topic (and I have no idea whether you like soccer at all), but have you seen the World Cup spot Alejandro González Iñárritu did for Nike? Maybe it's just the soccer fan in me speaking, but I think it's amazing! :)

I love Shia for that. Maybe realizing Indiana sucked only came after he'd done it -- he's so young -- or maybe he really did just took the money and ran, but it still takes balls, as the next studio with a no-brain script won't want him to take it, since he may call them out too. Just get all action stars to do the same, and we might even wind up with good action movies!
Better yet, just call up Ole Marsha, as I'll happily trash studios all day long.
I am not excited about 'Water for Elephants', but I have a feeling I am going to feel strangely compelled to see it. Is it just because I've read the book? (Which I agree, was not that great).
I think Pattinson is miscast, I was picturing someone slightly nerdy/awkward.
"I liked Water for Elephants a lot, but it'll probably be a better movie."
Those were my thoughts until they cast Robert Pattinson. NOOOOOOOOOOO!
I bet WFE will be a better film than a book. And I support Pattinson.
You are going to let us know when that book is coming out, aren't you Marsha? I want to be first in line.
I don't think it matters what Shia says - there's no way George would hear it anyway. At this point? Wrapped up in his gazillions, and his adoring followers? Is there any way for such a message to get through that?
And maybe he did say it (or attempt to) on the set, who knows.
@Rebecca - He isn't? He seems rather awkward to me (but I'm not into guys, so what would I know?)
