Thankless, classless, graceless...




From Michael Bay's official site:

Nelson here...

I received this letter from crew members who've worked with Michael on Transformers. Below is their response to Megan Fox's recent comments in which she hurled insults at Michael Bay.

******

Nelson,

This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.

Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.

Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.



We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We've spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.

We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often shitty job of pulling Ms. Sour pants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.

Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such – the grump of the set?

When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) easily another 45 minutes in the chair!

So when the three of us caught wind of Ms Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to “working with Hitler”. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.

Say what you want about Michael – yes at times he can be hard, but he's also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason – he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.

He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.

Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!

And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she's absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.

Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!

Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there's the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them “she is not nice."

The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, "I can’t believe Michael is fucking forcing us to go to the fucking pyramids!" I guess this is the “Hitler guy” she is referring to.

So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch. It's sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they're really looking up to.

But ‘Fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!

Katherine Hiegle. Or however you spell her name. That bitch did it too. WTF PEOPLE.
[info]gorgeousdoll 12th-Sep-2009 07:28 pm (UTC)
Seriously, what a DUMB BITCH. The success of Knocked Up skyrocketed her career and helped bring in audience members for '27 Dresses' and secured her several other film roles as a result. Everyone had all these lovely things to say about her and she turns around and dumps on them? She's ungrateful as hell.

i'm no megan fox stan but who the fuck cares if she bites michael bay hand or not? let's all be honest here, SHE was also vital for the success of the movie. when it was time to promote transformers 2, SHE was the one in the cover of all magazines. most people were talking about her after they left the cinema. it's not like she OWNS him or anything. beside, her audition was to clean his ferrari. i would be pissed too (even though she did it, he is still a douche).

[info]kateprice 12th-Sep-2009 02:42 pm (UTC)
He's a douche who's essentially giving her millions of dollars and a career despite being a talentless bitch. This is when she should turn on her acting skills and acknowledge this...but she can't act.
[info]skullset 12th-Sep-2009 02:46 pm (UTC)
Meh. I have a feeling she'd still be famous now even if it wasn't for Michael Bay. She's a classless skank, but she's good at being one and for some reason women like that are always at the center of attention. Maybe I'm just biased because I fucking hate Bay and his shitty movies.
[info]flightsabove 12th-Sep-2009 03:57 pm (UTC)
he only gave her the millions and the fame because of completely superficial reasons- if she didn't look half as good as she does he wouldn't have even bothered. I don't understand why he's such a selfless angel now just because he picked a good looking girl out of a bunch of other good looking girls. he obviously didn't let talent factor into that decision.

People who act like that piss me off, because my grandparents told me to respect other people and be polite. You can be a raging cunt in private, IDGAF, but in public you shut the fuck up and act like you weren't raised by wolves.
[info]0405 12th-Sep-2009 02:45 pm (UTC)
You needed your grandparents to tell you that?
[info]sitakhet 12th-Sep-2009 02:47 pm (UTC)
I hung out with them a lot when I was like 4. My parents taught me to be polite but I was an angel for my grandparents. They also taught me the "It doesn't matter if it tastes like shit, shut up and eat what you're given," one, they only failed if they gave me ham.
[info]deme_yuca 12th-Sep-2009 02:51 pm (UTC)
I think a lot more people needed grandparents to tell them this. If you're raised to be an asshole, you're an asshole for life.
[info]deranged_queen 12th-Sep-2009 03:06 pm (UTC)
Well, kids do have to learn from somewhere, bb. Better the grandparents doing the teaching, rather than have the TV have to do their job for them.
[info]cecilia_weasley 12th-Sep-2009 03:20 pm (UTC)
In some countries, families are close to each other and the grandparents help out with the child raising. Also: in some places families don't leave their kids in front of the tv all day. Children need to be taught a lot of things.
[info]healthypanda 12th-Sep-2009 04:36 pm (UTC)
Haha that's sweet. I have the weirdest relationship with my grandparents; I've been estranged from two sets of them for one reason or another throughout a lot of my life, and I haven't seen one set for 16 years because they live in Italy. So I think it's cool when people actually have normal grandparents.
[info]fifthmorn 12th-Sep-2009 07:29 pm (UTC)
I ♥ you, bb.

I can't find myself on either side because it's like asking me which would I prefer: nails in my feet or having my hair set on fire. I don't much prefer either.
[info]thatshot 12th-Sep-2009 02:38 pm (UTC)
really? is this really going on? did michael bay's crew really blow up her spot?
[info]deepseaskiving 12th-Sep-2009 02:41 pm (UTC)
This letter isn't exactly the most "professional" thing I've ever seen so it could be bull. Site seems pretty official though.
[info]starbucks_patch 12th-Sep-2009 05:46 pm (UTC)
yeah but to call her unprofessional and then for them to do this doesn't make them that much more professional to me. from what they're saying, it's like they want her to pay attention to them, like they're falling all over themselves around her and she's trying to focus on her job, not tell them that she wants to date them.
[info]gloweeyes 12th-Sep-2009 02:40 pm (UTC)
This is gonna be so good.
[info]sekhmet2 12th-Sep-2009 02:41 pm (UTC)
Don't like either one of them, but I suspect this letter probably has her pegged spot on. She definitely comes across as someone who thinks she deserves far more adulation and respect than she deserves.
[info]kinkynicky 12th-Sep-2009 06:01 pm (UTC)
Yeah, I'm with you on this one.

And I know plenty of people who're douchebags, but loyal ones. I'm betting it wouldn't take much research to work out whether or not he does have a dedicated crew that he remains loyal to, and if he does then I doubt they'd let some spoiled diva get away with badmouthing him.
[info]sekhmet2 13th-Sep-2009 03:22 am (UTC)
Exactly; you get crew members and staff that you go out on a limb for in keeping them working (especially in this economy) and you're going to have professional loyalty whether they like you as a person or not. I'm feel pretty certain that anyone who's worked in the business long enough has seen more than their share of these spoilt actors and actresses pull that diva act once they start getting a bit of notice. Frankly, I'd love to get a big bunch of set crew in a room and let them start spilling the dirt on some of these people; it'd probably put Ted C's blind vices to shame.
[info]dazedpuckbunny 12th-Sep-2009 11:26 pm (UTC)
Agreed. I haven't seen her do anything yet that puts her on a level other than Jessica Alba's. If she showed more range and was talented I could give her some credit.

[info]ahuckle 12th-Sep-2009 02:41 pm (UTC)
Sounds about right from everyone interview I have ever read about her. Classless, unintelligent bitch.

That's exactly it I think! I can't stand either of them.
[info]revertigo 12th-Sep-2009 03:02 pm (UTC)
both their mouths can get them into trouble, but katherine thinks the world revolves around her and takes no responsiblity for her actions. the woman admitted to showing up late on purpose because she wasn't into her show anymore to get back at her crew... okay... i'm sure they all love their jobs that do twice the work and probably half the pay, katherine.

[info]3mcoopandmaxie 12th-Sep-2009 03:27 pm (UTC)
oh thats not the quote I was talking about. Um..in that case..yeesh Megan! lol
[info]fearlesst15 12th-Sep-2009 02:42 pm (UTC)
eh im no michael bay fan but i'd believe his word over hers any day.

to have people on set feel that strongly about you because of your actions says a lot.

i hate that she is compared to angelina jolie. she may be "hot" and guys might drool over her, but angelina can act and she can act damn well. megan - not even close. she barely has the skills necessary to be on a soap opera. she's lucky to be in big screen movies.
[info]josipk 12th-Sep-2009 03:01 pm (UTC)
Angelina can't act for shit sorry, but bitch jsut lucky just as megan did. BITE ME. Angelina so bland and boring with her so called "acting" its always the same.
[info]smnp 12th-Sep-2009 03:39 pm (UTC)
really
did you watch her movies? might heart,wanted,changeling??
bland or boring..did you really see ^these movies??
i hate people who talk shit but never watched her movies!
even clint says she s great
[info]fearlesst15 12th-Sep-2009 03:39 pm (UTC)
the "bite me" bit was unnecessary. i'm not an angelina stan or anything but she actually can act. sorry you don't agree. i've seen several of her movies and never once felt like she was acting poorly or the same in every movie. she's an award winning actress, one of which was an oscar. i don't see megan winning anything that prestigious any time soon. it takes more than luck to win an oscar.
