question of the day: Can Shia LaBeouf be saved?
Shia LaBeouf has put himself, in recent years, in a place where the Shia LaBeouf Experience is one of big loud dumb noises in which he runs around yelling. A lot. This is what Hollywood has trained us to accept from LaBeouf, and it’s not exactly the best place for a serious actor to find himself. Not if he wants to be taken seriously.
trailer break: ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’
The presence of Shia LaBeouf as Shia LaBeouf makes me wonder if giant alien robots will show up to stomp on the New York Stock Exchange…

According to Deadline Hollywood, the show, described as a “game … more…
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Transmorphers: Fall of Man’
Any resemblance to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is entirely intentional: In this present day prequel, the robot invaders attack the Earth, forcing a small band of humans to seek refuge below the surface of the planet. Prequel? Prequel to what? Why, just-plain Transmorphers, from 2007, which it was devoutly hoped you would confuse with … more…
because Optimus Prime is a Byronic archetype
The third Transformers movie “won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions,” according to the Los Angeles Times blog Hero Complex, which quotes Michael Bay thusly: “It gets much more into the robot character.” Or perhaps because Megatron secretly longs to dance upon the stage, but fears how this will impact his relationship … more…
