[megladon8]

Ugh.

I can't stand Megan Fox. What a worthless person.

As if it wasn't enough that she constantly tries to look like Angelina Jolie, now she's taking her roles.

[number8]

Worthless?

[EyesWideOpen]

I have no interest in Megan Fox and i don't find her attractive at all.

[Skitch]

Who in their right mind can't find her attractive?

Don't worry Megan, I'm here for you.

[megladon8]

I'm with you.

She needs 10 pounds of make-up and 10 hours too much time in a tanning bed to look like that.

I like women who are naturally beautiful. I'd put Megan Fox in the same camp as Paris Hilton.

Kate Winslet / Rachel Weisz >>>>>>>> Megan Fox.

[Boner M]

Even though I knew what meg had typed in this thread before I clicked on it, Megan Fox's looks don't appeal to me either.

[Scar]

I certainly wouldn't say she's my 'type' of attractiveness, but if I was single, I'd sure as shit try to shag the shit out of her.

[Ezee E]

I'll guess that Kate Winslet and Rachel Weisz have a good amount of makeup put on when they are on TV/movie screen as well.

I'd like to see pics of Winslet and Fox without their makeup for proof.

[Scar]

Oooof.

[number8]

I don't understand why everytime we get into this "hot or not" discussions, someone would bring up somebody else previously unmentioned as "totally hotter."

Everything's a competition with you guys. A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman. I don't give a shit if someone else is prettier. I'm not a beauty pageant.

[Kurosawa Fan]

I'll go on record as saying I don't find Megan Fox particularly attractive either.

To me she looks no different then the hundreds of other so called "hot" chicks peppering the covers of Maxim and FHM. Those type of women do absolutely nothing for me.

Ever read her interviews? She's bad-fucking-ass.

[Sycophant]

She's attractive! Even though she's not my type! She's not a worthless person! I probably won't see this movie!

Preferences for female beauty aside, she's not a worthless person.

True. Her performance was one of the highlights of the otherwise banal How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.

[EyesWideOpen]

The topic for me was her attractiveness not her badassness. But to humor you I just read three of her interviews and saw nothing remotely bad-fucking-ass in any of them. Do you have links to any which display this?

[number8]

Yes, Duke, I too would love to read this interview where she crushes Chuck Norris' head with her milky thighs.

How am I supposed to know about her "attitude"? I've seen one shitty movie she was in and seen her pictures. Next time I comment on whether or not I find a woman attractive I'll make sure to read every published word they've spoken so I can make an informed decision before answering.

That's cute but you're a smart guy. I've bet you read a couple hundred interviews on actors and actresses...even directors and writers. But whatever floats your boat with women man. Not saying your opinion is the wrong one, just sayin open up a little.

[Kurosawa Fan]

[number8]

Better question. You read Maxim?

[shaun]

She's ridiculously hot. To not fit your taste is one thing I guess but to say that she's an unattractive girl reeks of Internet Male Syndrome.

I haven't even seen any of the Tomb Raider franchise and I still clicked on this for the inevitable Megan Fox picture, which certainly delivered. Thanks, number8.

[transmogrifier]

She is attractive. No doubt about it. I'm still wondering how the "worthless" comment came about though. It's kind of weird to deny someone their humanity because the way they look doesn't appeal to you. Especially someone you have not met in your life.

Liking boobies doesn't automatically mean big ones.

And her looks don't matter - I just can't see her as the spunky yet refined British aristocrat who's equally into books and kicking major ass with dual Desert Eagles. Jolie is eons ahead of her in the class on screen department.

Her inability to act, her constant attention whoring and her sole purpose in life being to give 13 year old boys boners when they go see Transformers 2 is what makes her worthless.

As I said, I don't see much of a difference between her and someone like Paris Hilton. She's one of those people who's famous for being famous (and for allegedly being attractive).

EDIT: I find it hard to have much respect for someone who thrives so much on ridiculous tabloid publicity.

Any time she isn't in the news for more than a couple of weeks, she comes out with some ridiculous quote about how she "loves anal sex" or whatever, then later on she'll say how she wants to be taken seriously as an actress.

[MadMan]

Worthless?

*squints*

Can't... see... worthlessness...While I didn't want to repost that same, decently large image, I endorse this post.


Tomb Raider 3...starring Monica Belluci.

My ass in the goddamn seat.I'm with yah, brotha. As it stands, I think that Fox is hotter than Jolie, and so far I've seen nothing that indicates that neither one is all that great in the acting department. Not that it matters, as I hated the first movie and I refused to see the second.

[number8]

Contrary to popular myth, anal sex does not make you a worse actor. Ask Ian McKellen.

[Sycophant]

Her inability to act, her constant attention whoring and her sole purpose in life being to give 13 year old boys boners when they go see Transformers 2 is what makes her worthless.And they (13-year-old boys) appreciate it.

Also, I disagree that Paris Hilton is worthless. Perhaps a better word to describe it would be "useless?" Even then, that's a bit harsh and I wouldn't agree, but it's much less harsh than "worthless person" which denies these people their humanity. That's kinda reprehensible.

Also, do remember that fame and celebrity is a two-way relationship.

[megladon8]

I have to admit I didn't expect people to take my use of the word "worthless" so literally.

[The Mike]

True on the semantics, Sycophant.

Plus, if I'm not mistaken Misses Hilton and Fox are probably "worth" more than all of us combined.

[Sycophant]

I have to admit I didn't expect people to take my use of the word "worthless" so literally.

And even in a--I guess--less literal sense, I still find the sentiment distasteful.

Rebooted (http://www.deadline.com/2011/03/gk-films-reboots-tomb-raider/)


In a pre-emptive strike, GK Films has come on board to acquire the feature film rights to TOMB RAIDER and will reboot the successful action-adventure franchise aiming for a 2013 release for the first film.

Produced by Graham King and Tim Headington, the films will create daring new adventures for the young and dynamic Lara Croft.

[Sycophant]

[Spun Lepton]

Is Megan Fox even around any more?? Did her career survive Jonah Hex?

[number8]

You know, until you asked that question, I'd totally forgotten that she's not in Transformers 3.

[Ezee E]

She's really taken it down a bit. I wonder if it's not getting offered roles, or being a little choosey with what she decides. She seems to be doing smaller scale projects, possibly in hopes of doing roles beyond "hot girl in tanktop" types.

[megladon8]

Might have something to do with her being a horrible actress, hard to work with, and she's already gotten all the mileage she can out of the "I can look hot in skimpy clothing" casting opportunities.

[Dukefrukem]

I tried to defend her for a while... saying we need more appearances to judge her. I'm done trying to defend that angle.

Darrell Gallagher, head of Crystal Dynamics, confirmed that they are already working with GK Films to reboot the film franchise.

They are working from this new take that we’ve given them… It’s a good partnership. We’re seeing the challenges through the same lens. It was important for both of us to have a cohesive version of the franchise… We didn’t want to see a film version that was a continuation of the old Tomb Raider films

Jennifer Lawrence as Lara? I'd love to see Rachel Weisz, but the reboot angle might rule out older performers.

I wonder if production restarted because of Warcraft.

[Henry Gale]

They should just get Camilla Luddington to play Croft in the movies at this point, right? Like, she already does her voice in the current, well-liked games, has a fair career profile (Grey's Anatomy being her main gig..) but not a big enough one for any announcement to cause any real division with whatever fans care about such casting. Sure she doesn't have the classically stern, intimidating look of the character in the games or Jolie's incarnation, but she's still undeniably gorgeous and has distinctive presence in the few things I've seen her in. Sadly not really sure what discernible traits an on-screen Croft needs though, to be honest, other than those physical ones.

This is more than I ever expected to write about a Tomb Raider reboot.

Alicia Vikander is Lara Croft.

I mean, as much as I love her, I think it's a bit odd of a choice for her to choose as her big franchise to headline at this point in her career. Or maybe that just speaks to how few high-profile ones there are for actresses, even for in-demand, newly Oscar-winning ones. And having seen her in real life and distinctly remembering her petiteness (though I can see her effortlessly swapping out her naturally demure demeanor for the requisite rugged personality the character calls for) I'm not sure how easy it will be to have her as same sort of physically intimidating presence Croft usually is portrayed as. But I guess that's where movie magic can step in!

[number8]

It's adapting the reboot games, so she's gonna be playing the very inexperienced and not physically, uh, shapely college-aged Lara Croft.

Haley Berry, Catwoman. Angelina Jolie, Tomb Raider. Lupita Nyong'o, The Force Awakens.

Oh, for sure. I guess I was hung up more on her stature. The second I went on Twitter and saw how others were reacting to it (though, luckily considering who I follow, more people calling it out than the direct sources) made me feel kinda gross commenting on any part of her physicality at all.

I hear you, though for Berry and Jolie those choices you mention feel very much like understandable choices of the time (The first big DC Comics movie in the post-Spider-Man / X-Men world! That massive video game people couldn't stop talking/gawking about!), and it makes sense to an extent with Vikander, since I get that the offer of a movie like this is not only one of a nice paycheck and potential franchise reliability but one of sheer enjoyment ― I mean, Jessica Chastain has said in a pretty sincere way in interviews in these last few weeks how The Huntsman was the most fun she's ever had on a set, just she'd never done anything so light and action-y ― but I guess it just seems unexpected that this was Vikander's big post-Oscar choice considering her past résumé, you know? (I just learned that she was in Seventh Son and we will ignore that for the time being.) To some extent it almost makes me wonder if the core material in this adaptation is better than it should be.

Also, now you have a part of me is thinking about how awesome it would've been if Nyong'o got this role, imagining the internet's collective head exploding (with the right people rejoicing).

And of course people will respond by saying that it's based on a videogame and therefore was bound to be shit, but I really have no idea why it's so hard to get this sort of thing right.

It's not like they're adapting Bubble Bobble.

Although perhaps I should go easy, it's just a trailer.

[Wryan]

I fucking love Bubble Bobble.

[Skitch]

I rewatched this trailer. Wow. It is cut together so poorly. Gives away entire story...which seems poorly conceived to begin with.

[Grouchy]

Man, that looks like shit.

Also, time to say it - hate the re-cast.

They took the boat and island stuff straight from the rebooted video game.

[Skitch]

I hate it when trailers reveal entire plot setup. Dad leaves her mission, she discovers mission, hires a boat to go to mystery island to lock tomb, boat crashes, villains are there looking for tomb for nefarious reasons, she discovers the tomb...geeeee, I wonder if she'll lock the tomb forever or if the villains will kill her and win.......:rolleyes:

Literally the only mystery left is if this video game movie will end with the main character (player) dying and failing the mission. :rolleyes:

OR how about: I wonder if her father isn't really dead.

Possible, and the audience sighs with collective indifference.

I fucking love Bubble Bobble.

I'm more of a Rainbow Islands fella. Don't know if CGI has gotten to the stage where they can get the rainbows right.

So at first I was like, Nick Frost? This movie cast both the leads of Into the Badlands? Then I checked IMDB and realized that he's uncredited, which means it's probably just a cameo, and we saw Frost's only scene in the movie in the trailer*. Which made me think, ha, that's probably the case with Dominic West, too.

* Also that is most definitely like a post-credits scene or something.

[Dead & Messed Up]

All those slow motion leaps. I want one where she falls spectacularly short of the goal.

And is grabbed at the last minute by West right? Right??

[transmogrifier]

Vikander was a poor casting choice for this role. Doesn't suit it at all.

Nifty little fan trailer cut to a voiceover from one of the video games.

You're underselling it by calling it nifty.

That makes me want to see it more than the official trailer. Amazing what a change in music can make and how suddenly scenes I had seen already give off a halfway epic feel now.

So basically, fans > Hollywood.

Maybe, maybe a little more promising than the last trailer. There are some nice shots here. Could be decent.
