Megan Fox is an actor. Not just a hot bod.
Enjoyed seeing her show some chops.
No, this movie is not On the Waterfront, but that's okay, most movies aren't either.

How so?
Fascinating how?

I didn't gather that from that series of interviews at all. For me, it demonstrates that what I was seeing with my eyes wasn't just my imagination but was deliberate, calculated - she is indeed not only aware of her image but taking ownership and making decisions to change it.
And, again, I say, good on her, because she is realizing recognition for her efforts - at least, from those willing to give her credit where it's due, without resorting to labelling and name-calling and denigrating and seeking ways to be negative about it.
Of all the goofball celebrities to achieve high office, curious you only got as high as state governor yet managed to not mention the Bedtime for Bonzo goofball who achieved the highest offices among them, not only governor but also PotUS. Go figure.

Well, she has been nominated for her 8th 'Razzie' for her performance in this movie.

If you've seen it, did your own opinion of her performance match what a "razzie" would suggest?
If you haven't, I'd encourage you to check it out; as well as Bruce Willis' quite subdued supporting role - there was no John McClane upstage in this movie at all.

Yes, was. People change. People are allowed to grow. Where is this meritocracy people like to claim America is?
"Thus" nothing. There's no deceit to say "hey, she's doing something different" and find out that she had intention to change things up, which was resonance.
Again, "just as" nothing. I'm not clear on what you think of Tony Curtis, but if by that comparison you are suggesting that you don't think DiCaprio showed versatility in roles that range from Dr. Randall Mindy to Calvin Candie to Frank Abagnale Jr. to Rick Dalton, I don't understand what you're even doing on a movie discussion board.
It would only seem that to you, Mech. I actually asked because it was not at all readily evident to me what you were talking about.
So, instead of my trying to figure out some way of making sense of it, or guess, or put words in your mouth, I thought it'd be easier to just ask you to expand/clarify.
My mistake.

Hold a tick - are you saying you haven't even seen this movie yet? All of this from you is based on your assessment of the trailer?
FFS.
If you really are "open to being proven wrong in my assessment of Megan Fox as an actress", watch the movie.
Love it, hate it, praise her performance, tear it to shreds...but watch it and then form an opinion based on her total performance in the movie.
At this point, if you have not yet seen it, all you have is an untested hypothesis.

Yep. I not long ago observed that Bruce Willis takes a lot of scripts. Like, a lot. And they're not all that good, either. The link goes to that discussion.
Meanwhile, is Midnight in the Switchgrass a good movie? It's rating here on TMDb is currently at 62% which, for what it was, is fairly decent.
As for Willis' performance, well, we can get good performances in bad movies; bad performances in good movies; good in good, and bad in bad. I started this thread to talk about Megan Fox's performance - to digress is fine. As I mentioned, Willis is not looking to reprise his A-lister type image or upstage the other actors in this flick. In that, I respect that he accepted the role and played to it. He didn't write the script, nor did he direct. To me, he played the role about as good as anyone would have.

To be just as blunt, Mech, I started this thread. You are welcome to just not engage.
But, if you insist, if you must engage this topic - which, to be reminded, is how Megan Fox acted in this movie - if you haven't SEEN the movie, you ought to type less until you've seen it and can discuss the topic as it is. You couldn't even answer one of my questions about your curious comment about Hirsch and Haas. Honestly, what's the point of this?

I really enjoyed Red Letter Media's breakdown of the problem with the Star Wars prequel trilogy. But, I disagree with his assessment of DiCaprio. Yes, it is well-documented that child actors have difficulty transitioning to adult actors, and he rhymes off some of the more notorious. But I hardly number DiCaprio with the likes of most on his list. AND, it's not as though child actors are doomed to never succeed as adults; exhibit Jason Bateman.
At any rate, regardless Red Letter Media's opinion, again, Mindy to Candie to Abagnale to Dalton, what he argues about DiCaprio does not measure up to how I saw those roles all played by this actor.
You are welcome to espouse the view that DiCaprio is limited. We can agree to disagree, which is pretty much par for the course with us anyway.

That's one way to look at it.
I think, if you're an up and coming actor, the opportunity to work with an actor like Bruce Willis would be neat, even if he's a PITA on set. And, as an actor, he seems quite comfortable - which is to say, not insecure about his image - to take roles that aren't Oscar-bait. He seems to actually like acting, as we don't expect he really needs the money. He's evidently an actor who's not afraid to take risks, not afraid of what people will think of him if he's not in a star-studded cast...
Of course, I could be wrong. I'm not a big fan of him as a person. Who knows? Maybe Mech is right, and he can't get scripts with actors who have any clout because they won't put up with his on-set shit.

I guess that's something. I guess.
I will look forward to your impression of the movie and how she portrayed the role whenever you are able to give it a whirl.
Well, here they all are together. You let me know if all they did was stand around looking vampish. Whenever you give it a whirl.

FWIW, I've never argued that DiCaprio is the greatest. I'm not his biggest fan, by any stretch. I think he has quite held his own on set with some of the biggest stars (Catch Me If You Can, The Departed, Django Unchained, Once Upon A Time in Hollwyood), and I would not take that away from him nor diminish his efforts, especially as his peers respect his work and give him the credit he's due.

Is Lukas Haas the killer?
