Megan Fox to play April O' Neil in M. Bay's Ninja Turtles

[tamago]

Looking at the actresses that Megan Fox was picked over makes me sad. On looks alone Jane Levy looks like a much better fit. I just don't get the appeal of Megan Fox. The again I'm not a macho fratboy douchebag so there you go.

Anyone on the internet who goes to see this is hereby banned from it.

God Micheal Bay needs to fail at making money, please make it happen, urge everyone you know to boycott this movie in protest of him bum-plowing childhoods.

 

[Nerexor]

Wow! Michael Bay is casting people who can't act in a movie based on a beloved toy franchise that was a major part of the childhoods of millions of young people 15 to 20 years ago?! I am shocked! SHOCKED! This behaviour is entirely uncharacteristic of him!

*Sarcasm mode disengaged*

This film was doomed to failure the second Michael "Take-a-shit-on-everyone's-childhood" Bay got involved in it. That he cast that oily skinned plastic uncanny valley talentless thing as April O'Neal just adds a bit of diarrhea frosting to the turd it was inevitably going to be.

Hopefully by now we've all learned all our lesson and will stay the hell away from it, the movie will tank, and Bay will stop being allowed near film sets. We can only hope.

I....have nothing else to say in this matter.
Pretty sure this will suck like The Bayformers but will still make a buttload of money.

And this is the one reason why the fandom can't have nice things.

capcha: many happy returns

how's this news happy? well to Fox and Bay I suppose. But to everyone else.......

Didn't those 2 got in a fight and they weren't going to work together?

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Yeah, I can't say I approve of this, but I can't bring myself to get all that upset either. Although I was willing to give Bay's Turtles the benefit of the doubt and allow for the possibility that it might turn out well. This, however, is not a good sign.

 

[tamago]

I don't think there's enough buckets in the world to store how full of bull people who are complaining about her appearance or the appearance of her replacement in Bayformers 3 is.

I especially love the people who say she comes off as "dirty". How? Why? Cause every scene in Transformers 1 and 2 had her half naked and covered in grit, dirt, sweat or grease? Or cause you're a bunch of gynophobes with virgin/whore complexes? I wont call those people misogynistic because I don't think they've got enough spine to actually "hate" women as much as they're absolutely terrified at the other gender or the concept of sex so instead they devolve in to 7yr olds saying the girl has cooties.

Doing your gender proud boys, doing your gender proud. It's no wonder the gaming industry keeps trying to keep women away from you. If you saw a booth babe at a convention you'd probably kick them in the shins and run away.

Or perhaps some of us just have standards.

So that's who that was at the end of Escape To The Movies. Didn't recognize her without the thumbs.

You know what? She's still better looking according to the popularly accepted definition of feminine beauty than you and I could successfully score with if we were so inclined to try. With or without her fugly mutant thumbs.

 

[JagermanXcell]

Yeah because putting Megan Fox in a TMNT movie lacking the teenage, and the mutant, for aliens, will make it better.

Wait hold up, didn't Fox and Bay kind of hate each other? Am I missing something?

 

[Epic Bear Man]

They should've gotten April O'Neil to play April O'Neil!

Although I think I would barf if they turned the film into a live-action Rule 34 of TMNT...

P.S. If you're not familiar with April O'Neil, she's a pornstar. Here is a SFW photo of her:

..and Megan Fox makes no effort to save her movie career. So nothing has changed.

Wait hold up, didn't Fox and Bay kind of hate each other? Am I missing something?

People can make up, repair damaged relationships.

Didn't Megan Fox call Bay a nazi or something? Why would she be allowed near any of his movies?

I'm sure M.Bay has been called worse things than Nazi.

 

[Antonio Torrente]

Didn't those 2 got in a fight and they weren't going to work together?

Looks like they finally make amends and already forgiven each other or Megan Fox is desperate to get any work that she is willing to sleep with Bay just to be included in the movie.

Mr. Bay:

You're thinking of the wrong April O'Neil. The franchise calls for the feisty reporter, not the porn star.

 

[Damien Black]

I dream of a day when people will complain about a casting choice for an actress based on her acting talent and not her ability to give them a boner.

That would be a totally fair comment if we weren't referring to an actress who seems cast entirely upon her ability to give guys boners. In which case, that *is* her acting talent, or at least the talent being capitalized on by the film producers... making "yeah, that really doesn't give me a boner" a perfectly valid criticism of her role in the movie. The obvious motivation for the casting is sexist, the role is likely sexist, but the people commenting on whether or not it succeeds at its apparent goal are not necessarily also sexist.

My above point also ignores the fact that many of the previous posters included commentaries on her lack of other talent and overall acting capability. In fact, the opinion that she is absolutely horrible as an actress seems so pervasive that I think it can be considered a given.

 

[Damien Black]

Take the amount of positive responses in here divide by how many times the bible contradicts it's self. That number is how many shit's I give.

3?

...or infinite if your faith causes you to divide by zero... or any number from 1 to infinity, depending on whether your see the entire project as contradictory.

I suspect the comment was meant to confuse and troll for angry religious responses. The alternative is a terrible use of sarcasm.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Thankfully, I don't really care about Ninja Turtles. I watched it as a kid, but looking back, it's just not that good. There's no nostalgia.

So I'm sorry this happened, because it would be a bit of a travesty if it happened to something I have an attachment to, but hey...at least it has Transformers for company.

I approve of this. INTERNET, MAKE IT SO!

 

[Tumedus]

Here is my silver lining. This movie was going to suck anyway. By putting more suck into this one vehicle, we just limit the possibility of some of that suck getting into other pictures.

I only have 2 worries:
1) That when this movie makes a bankroll, because everyone seems to see his movies even though I can never find anyone willing to admit they like them apart from Bad Boys, that the studios will forget that Fox flopped in pretty much every non Bay picture she did, and we might have to see more of her. (quit screwing with your face, you used to be attractive)
2) That Bay will finally consolidate so much suckage into one single film that time and space will actually collapse in on themselves and we will all cease to exist.

 

[Bleidd Whitefalcon]

After the fiasco between Bay and Fox, I'd not have expected the two to work together again.

From my understanding, Bay was kinda "meh" about the whole thing. It was Spielberg who flipped out and fired her
