Yeah, ED's a hot bartender. She was good in it...not much of a part but she was funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Roger Ebert, the universe slam Michael Bay's Transformers sequel in early reviews

So just how bad is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? The reviews are already pouring in, and they're not charitable. (The movie opens in the United States tomorrow but is already screening in the United Kingdom, Japan and elsewhere.)

Perhaps most scathing is the Chicago Sun-Times' Roger Ebert, who writes: "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a horrible experience of unbearable length, briefly punctuated by three or four amusing moments. One of these involves a dog-like robot humping the leg of the heroine. Such are the meager joys. If you want to save yourself the ticket price, go into the kitchen, cue up a male choir singing the music of hell, and get a kid to start banging pots and pans together. Then close your eyes and use your imagination."

As of Tuesday morning, the movie was scoring 31 percent on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer—and falling.

Oh, now I know where I recognize Bay's name from, here, and from Vince Chase's ice cream headache face about Aguaman 2. Even with Medellin, homeboy still dodged a bullet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I read a number of early reviews of Transformers last night. Many of them were positive but quite a few mentioned a pair of bots and their resemblance to Jar Jar Binks .

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Transformers sequel is two and a half hours long? WHY? WHY?

“Not dead yet!”

They needed room for Megan Fox's ego?

Oh my poor DH - not only does he have to sit through Transformers, he has to wrangle 3 13-year-old boys hopped up on candy and soda.

For serious. Even I know the response to "the next Jolie," is "I'm not worthy," or "gee, thanks." NOT "No! Am Megan. Am own special snowflake!" and I got a C in my one PR course.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"No! Am Megan. Am own special snowflake!"

Have you read the interview in Entertainment Weekly ? She doesn't sound like that at all. I was rather surprised. She doesn't seem to think much of herself and completely agrees that all the attention being showered on her is weird and unwarranted.

Then why are people so obsessed with you and hiring you for movies?
I can't figure that out. I mean, Transformers made $700 million and that opened a door to introduce this ''new girl,'' and I happened to be such an outrageous personality that people wanted to start writing about me because it was deemed controversial. I think if I had been a typical Hollywood actress and I said all the right things and I had been a publicity android, it wouldn't have escalated to this level.

Is all the attention mysterious?
Yes. I don't feel like I had to climb a ladder, so it doesn't feel like I've earned it.

And re: Angelina Jolie...

There have been a lot of comparisons between you and Angelina Jolie.
I think it's a lack of creativity on the media's part. Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That's as far as the similarities extend. I'm not the next anyone.

You've said you're afraid of her.
I was joking! She always seems otherworldly in her power and her confidence. I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, ''Who the f--- is this little bulls--- brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?'' I don't want to meet her; I'd be embarrassed.

Nah...once someone famous annoys me, I'm probably off them(one advantage of them being strangers I don't have to be nice to) I'm very forgiving of the ones I like though...I forgave Grenier for hanging out with Paris Hilton.(I'm weak, but he's pretty...I'd have him flea-dipped first now, of course.) But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised somebody made her look like a jerk over that(or Shauna went into super-fast damage-control mode, one of the two.)
