My loathing of the Transformers movies has been well documented on the internets. They are noisy, nonsensical, soulless pieces of pop culture that despite being horribly made, have earned billions of dollars. The only good thing to have come out of the Transformers film franchise is the emergence of she-can't-really-be-that-hot-can-she Megan Fox. Her acting chops may not be of an award-winning caliber, but the 12-year-old boy in me strongly believes that every so often the world needs another pinup girl to worship. And for the past few years, Megan Fox has certainly fit that bill.However, drooling fanboys will have to find someone else to ogle in the third T-Form flick* because Michel Bay has decided not to pick up Megan's option for the third movie. The reasons why are unclear. It could be because she called him "Hitler" sometime after the second one. I guess we'll never really know.
So chalk up another brilliant decision by the multi-talented Bay. Too bad, seeing Megan Fox draped on a motorcycle in 3D just might have motivated me to the theater to see Transformers 3.**
However even without Fox, the movie will probably make a gazillion dollars. And I'm betting that there will be an equally hot and equally vapid starlet to take her place when this thing rolls into theaters next year. And don't cry for poor Megan Fox. Something tells me she's going to be just fine.
*Patrick Dempsey perhaps?
**Who am I kidding? There's no way I'm paying for or sitting through that shit storm.
