Megan Fox is worried about the acting in Transformers

Megan Fox may be a psychologically unmoored 23-year-old bad-tattoo factory, but at least she's not kidding herself concerning her role in the Transformers franchise.

I mean, I can't shit on this movie because it did give me a career and open
all these doors for me. But I don't want to blow smoke up people's ass. People
are well aware that this is not a movie about acting.

Wow. How unexpectedly self-aware of someone who once showed up in public with this hairstyle:

But really, colorful language aside, it's not like Megan is shocking anybody or dropping mind bombs on us, here. I mean, no one is asking to be taken to the pain center because they've been waylaid with a one-ton, wrecking ball testicle of knowledge.

Oh, wait. Except Michael Bay "100% disagrees" with her. Turns out, Transformers is about acting.

You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, "Okay Megan,
you can do whatever you want. I got it."

The audacity of certain cinema darlings! Driving expensive cars recklessly. Late night club-hopping. Being honest about a film's motivation and appeal. REIGN IT IN, HOLLYWOOD!

Obviously Transformers is about the acting. When Bertrand Russell wrote Principia Mathematica, his first rule of inference was Transformers is about acting. We don't need to take it any further, of course, but I'm sure Michael Bay is willing to secure his position with rock solid logic.

Nick Cage wasn't a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I
put him in Armageddon. Shia LaBeouf wasn't a big movie star before he did
Transformers -- and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin
Lawrence, from Bad Boys.

Whoops! I'm sure by "big" Michael meant "good," since this is a discussion about the quality of acting in Transformers and not about how famous actors in his movies become and since we all understand that a movie's "bigness" plays little part in its "goodness." We also realize that if we did think this way, movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Paul Blart would be considered "good" having spent some time ranked #1, and we would deem the abilities of an actor like John Malkovich inferior to the pathos a Martin Lawrence performance contains.

Bottom line, if your movie isn't seared into a Burger King fry pouch and doesn't include 15-minute CGI fight sequences, you can't place your name alongside the greats like Lawrence Olivier, Marlon Brando and Optimus Prime. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from Bad Boys.
