"In an unprecedented interview conducted by comic Matt Zaller, Megan Fox gets ignored and forced into putting a bag on her head. This interview is a funny offering of something different in a climate of Megan Fox media saturation. This is not an attempt to dis Megan or to knock her acting abilities. This is merely Matt's take on the media frenzy that surrounds her. "

:rofl: Not really cool for Megan but that's funny! and unfortunately some people on youtube are taking this interview too seriously...

Megan seems a bit upset and she is hot when she is upset!

Matt Zaller is a comic guy. He did other crazy interviews with other celebs...

He interviewed Matt Damon and call him Ben Affleck then sang him a "song" :laugh: that's a must see!

everything she does is a marketing trick ;)

No! Does it mean that when famous peoples are posing in magazines

to talk about a movie or a book or their new home in Beverly Hills

or their eating disorder or their dogs or their whatever!

It's a marketing thing???

Really?

:cry: :cry:

Megan too?

:cry2:

I don't want to believe this... No I don't want...triste-soupir-45.gif

you are very good with sarcasm. her interviews seem so insincere, she is always emphasizing how different she is from other celebrities, how she has real problems (cuts herself, has anger issues or whatever) but outside those interviews you can see that she is just like any other actress, has same vanities and those interviews are really a trick. She makes strong statements in interviews just to draw attention to herself because let`s be honest, she`ll never earn attention with her acting skills.

That is what I meant, so now go on with sarcasm..

She's good in the type of movies she's in but she'll never win an Oscar. She does though, have damn fine cleavage! :laugh:

you are very good with sarcasm.

Thank you! :flower:

the thing about marketing made me laugh because Megan is nothing else but marketing! Nothing against you or your opinion.

But i know that you know ;)

I think that the half that says we have heard from Angelina... and after saying that she does not like to compare it with her

It seems recently all her photo shoots are the same. Great red carpet pics though :heart:

^^ Yes. She looks good but a bit more of originality from the photographers and the way she poses, won't hurt!

Megan Fox Thread: The Movie

A Joe > Average Film, Directed, Produced by and Starring Joe > Average

(Character names and events loosely based on real events)

Prettypool: You won't believe this article. Megan in a live ant eating contest with Ozzy Osbourne. WTF :blink: ? ZOMG, she's really done it this time :blink: .

Moicells: OMG, eating live ants? She's beautiful, but that's still ridiculous, I'm sorry. That's fine for the prince of darkness, but...not becoming of a lady if she wants to be taken seriously. Daayum, bet that hurt :ninja: .

Stampaholic: Well, ants are a good source of protein I hear. Live ants on the otherhand...I'm not judgeing her per say, but that is pretty out there I have to admit. Common Megan, ants are best served dead and chocolate covered :) .

EHFREE:

:sleep:

sinikor: I'd eat live ants with her anyday, if I could hit it afterwards.

Pheromobarbie: 0.o

frenchkelly: Common guys...who cares whether she eats live ants or not? I hope for the best, but that doesn't mean her farting

or belching is news.

Joe >>>>> Average: Oh you guys :hug: , frenchkelly is right in that everything she says and does isn't a big deal, but you all make this thread special in your own way :grouphug: :grouphug: .

Effing Brilliant joe!!!! :wub:

Here is the Conan appearance, I think she looked really great! And she is pretty funny and doesn't really say anything crazy YAY!

Part 1

Part 2

Thanks for the new pics.

I'm surprised no one mentioned anything about Jennifer's body..didn't anyone see it yet?

I saw it and. I'm mixed about it. Megan had her moments in the movie, but trying to judge a horror movie is hard at best. It's not like the movie is going to win an Academy Award anytime soon nor can it be judged as such, so it can't be put in with that crowd of films, and as horror movies go..... it wasn't MY cup of tea. Either go 100% camp, or gore, do something smart like Omen/Anti Christ, or go balls out funny like Shawn of the Dead, but don't float in the middle....

Megan was hot, but the movie wasn't bloody enough, funny enough, campy enough, or "smart"/intense enough for my tastes. I can see a lot of non-horror movie fanatics enjoying it, but it's not the "uber buzz" in the horror world. Megan hunny.... please stay out of my movie genera and go back to CGI and leave Horror flicks to D rated scream queens who really could use the work.

As for Amanda Seyfried. She's way too good to be in a flim like this. Go back to Big Love. Mkay, thanks

-------- Review

You know, it's been 17-years since Quentin Tarantino gave the world RESERVIOR DOGS and 14 since Amy Heckerling revisited High School in CLUELESS. It should come as no shock to anyone that in the three years that stretched between those films’ releases in 1992 and 1995, that JENNIFER'S BODY screenwriter Diablo Cody (JUNO) was smack-dab in the throws of her teenage glory days.

In so many ways Cody is the perfect amalgamation of Tarantino and Heckerling. She chronicles high school with a life-is-pain and I've been-there-and-done-that vibe that makes her a post-modern Judy Blume for the iPod generation. At the same time, she spews pop culture run-amok dialogue that would have Tarantino disciples burning out their cable modems querying Urban Dictionary entries just to keep up with her. To say JENNIFER'S BODY is a “Diablo Cody film” is not just a mark of pride, it's damn near a fucking brand name.

Jennifer Check (Megan Fox) is the “it-girl” of Devil's Kettle High School. She's the queen bee buzzing in a hive of losers, wannabes and never-wills. It's stifling in small town USA and the she just wants to spread her bitch wings and fly. So she drags her BFF, Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to the local club (which is really just a shitty bar) to see a big city Emo-pop band play. Her plan is simple....screw the singers brains out. But things don't go as planned and a fire razes the club killing a dozen patrons. Jennifer and Needy escape unharmed but, still in shock, Jennifer winds up virtually kidnapped by the band, leaving Needy alone in the parking lot. Later when Jennifer returns, covered in blood, starving for food, and vomiting a black tar like slime all over the linoleum floor, Needy knows something is terribly wrong with her friend. Jennifer's evil now..."Not high school evil". She's a flesh-feasting demon intent on devouring the male population of Devil's Kettle High School and Needy is the only one who knows what she really is and how to stop her.

It would be great if I could tell you that everything about JENNIFER'S BODY was gangbusters brilliant and the film is flawless. It would be wonderful if Cody's whip-smart dialogue was serving a greater purpose, in the same way that it did when it won her the Oscar for scribing JUNO. But in reality this film is as likely to turn off patrons as it turns them on. It's self-aware on a level that would make Kevin Williamson blush. And, by that I don't mean that the film is setting up horror movie cliché's and knocking them down at the same time it mocks them. I mean that--only a week after SORORITY ROW--bowed into the multiplexes--audiences are set up with another film that features smart-ass quips delivered by pretty people in the midst of what would normally be considered precarious circumstances. It works here a hell of a lot better than it did in SORORITY ROW but it still unnerves the viewer. What Williamson did in his seminal teen-thriller SCREAM was know when to dial down the coolness quotient and kick in the bloody-curdling terror. JENNIFER'S BODY never does that. Truth be told, I'm not even sure it wants to do that. And that's the problem with the film; it's scattershot in terms of intent. I know it wants to be funny, but I don't know if it wants to be scary. And that's some frighteningly thin ice for a film to skate on.

What does work in the film is both obvious and surprising. It would come of no shock to all the fanboys that Megan Fox is walking talking sex on stems. But after a pair of performances in TRANSFORMERS that made the CGI Robots look like Lawrence Olivier in HAMLET, the actress has finally stepped into a role that frankly she was born to play--an alpha-male bitch monster from hell. Equally adept at seducing anything--male or female--with a coo from her soft lips, it's not hard to imagine her literally leveling the entire populate of a town with nothing but a smile and a set of sharp teeth.

As her foil in the film, Needy is such a vision of down home sweetness that Cody is forced to explain how she and uber-vamp Jennifer could even possibly be from the same universe, let alone friends. What's interesting and indeed even layered in the subtext of the film is that Jennifer really covets what Needy has. It's a plausible and venerable decision, and one that almost allows the viewer to root for the bad girl. It's not that we want to see Jennifer take out Needy, it's just that we sort of feel bad for her in the end. In some respects it's amazing that underneath all the day-glo superficiality that the film is wallowing in, there is a kind of other dimension that almost no studio horror film is striving to achieve.

Diablo Cody will certainly not replicate the critical success and accolades that were bestowed upon JUNO with the categorically narrow appeal of a teen horror-comedy. But, that doesn't mean she hasn't delivered a satisfying film that will no doubt hold up to (and perhaps even age gracefully with) repeat viewings. And with the exception of Sam Raimi's DRAG ME TO HELL, I'm not sure I can say that about any other major studio horror film of 2009.

Score: 7 / 10
