Does anyone else find it hilarious that Jennifer's Body is getting worse reviews than ROTFL?

Everyone Hates Megan Fox
Three crew members who worked on both Transformers movies sent in an open letter to Michael Bay's official site (via ONTD) where they shat all over philosopher and feminist Megan Fox for calling Michael "Hitler" in an interview.
The three unnamed crew members (aka Michael Bay, his assistant and his publicist) are basically co-signing what most whores already think. They say Megan is dumber than a Snuggie, ungrateful, classless, a cunt of all cunts, completely talentless and that she should probably be doing porn instead of acting in blockbuster movies. . .
"This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight.
Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy.
Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional.
We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies. We've spent a total of 12 months on set making these two movies.
We are in different departments; we can’t give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work. One of us touches Megan’s panties, the other has the often shitty job of pulling Ms. Sour pants out of her trailer, while another is near the Panaflex camera that helps to memorialize the valley girl on film.
Megan has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles. The cast, crew and director make Transformers a really fun and energetic set. We’ve traveled around the world together, so we have never understood why Megan was always such – the grump of the set?
When facing the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star. And yes we’ve had the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set, and yes, it's very cringe-able. So maybe, being a porn star in the future might be a good career option. But make-up beware, she has a paragraph tattooed to her backside (probably due her rotten childhood) easily another 45 minutes in the chair!
So when the three of us caught wind of Ms Fox, pontificating yet again in some publication (like she actually has something interesting to say) blabbing her trash mouth about a director whom we three have grown to really like. She compared working with Michael, to “working with Hitler”. We actually don’t think she knows who Hitler is by the way. But we wondered how she doesn’t realize what a disgusting, fully uneducated comment this was? Well, here let’s get some facts straight.
Say what you want about Michael – yes at times he can be hard, but he's also fun, and he challenges everyone for a reason – he simply wants people to bring their ‘A’ game. He comes very prepared, knows exactly what he wants, involves the crew and expects everyone to follow through with his or her best, and that includes the actors. He’s one of the hardest working directors out there.
He gets the best from his crews, many of whom have worked with him for 15 years. And yes, he’s loyal, one of the few directors we’ve encountered who lowered his fee by millions to keep Transformers in the United States and California, so he could work with his own crew.
Megan says that Transformers was an unsafe set? Come on Megan, we know it is a bit more strenuous then the playground at the trailer park, but you don’t insult one of the very best stunt and physical effects teams in the business! Not one person got hurt!
And who is the real Megan Fox? She is very different than the academy nominee and winning actors we’ve all worked around. She’s as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom. She shows little interest in the crew members around her. We work to make her look good in every way, but she's absolutely never appreciative of anyone’s hard work. Never a thank you. All the crewmembers have stopped saying hi to Ms. Princess because she never says hello back. It gets tiring. Many think she just really hates the process of being an actress.
Megan has been late to the sets many times. She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until John Turturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!
Never expect Megan to attend any of the 15 or so crew parties like all the other actors have. And then there's the classless night she blew off The Royal Prince of Jordan who made a special dinner for all the actors. She doesn’t know that one of the grips daughters wanted to visit their daddy’s work to meet Megan, but he wouldn’t let them come because he told them “she is not nice."
The press certainly doesn’t know her most famous line. On our first day in Egypt, the Egyptian government wouldn’t let us shoot because of a permit problem as the actors got ready in make up at the Four Seasons Hotel. Michael tried to make the best of it; he wanted to take the cast and crew on a private tour of the famous Giza pyramids. God hold us witness, Megan said, "I can’t believe Michael is fucking forcing us to go to the fucking pyramids!" I guess this is the “Hitler guy” she is referring to.
So this is the Megan Fox you don’t get to see. Maybe she will learn, but we figure if she can sling insults, then she can take them too. Megan really is a thankless, classless, graceless, and shall we say unfriendly bitch. It's sad how fame can twist people, and even sadder that young girls look up to her. If only they knew who they're really looking up to.
But ‘Fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!"

I think she's naively thinking that her film Jennifer's Body will be a huge success. Sadly, she's mistaken. Although I know a couple of my friends want to see it b/c she's hot, I can name at least two or three other people who don't even know who the hell she is unless you say she's the "Transformers Chick".
As for Heigl. I think she worded it wrong. If she was talking about her involvement, she's an idiot. But if she was looking out for the crew being forced to work 17-hour days then I applaud her.

In response to Greg's post, a well-prepared director can certainly make a shooting day go faster, and conversely, a poorly-prepared one can make a short shooting schedule take an eternity. However, there are tons of factors that can result in a long shooting day, and many of them have very little to do with the director. In fact, on a television show, I'd argue that, unless the director is also a producer, they probably are a lot less likely to be the one responsible for a horrendously long day, simply because on any one show, directors usually don't have that much power.
Also, although I don't want to approve of Katharine Heigl's public bashing of her coworkers -- I think that's completely unprofessional -- I understand where she's coming from. I don't want to say too much, especially on a public message board, but I will say that from my personal experience, there are some top-down authority issues at Grey's Anatomy, and so when people like Heigl and T.R. Knight speak up about their problems, I'm more inclined to take their side.
Still, for the amount of money Heigl gets paid, I have NO patience for her complaining about a 17-hour day. There are entire WEEKS I've worked 18 hours a day every day with no one thinking that was weird except my parents.

I'm sure it deals with how the director plans out his shots. A director who knows exactly what he wants, what angles to shoot, what lighting he wants, what performances he wants and gets, then it makes it easier for him to say 8:00 shoot scene 42, 8:15 shoot scene 67, etc.

That reminds me. I saw Alfred Hitchcock's daughter on a TV interview; and, she said, because her father always did such immaculate preparation before shoots, that his movies always shot on strict Monday-Friday-8AM-5PM hours. Does anyone who has workrd on a set have any information about how the preparation of a director can help keep down shooting hours?

I have no idea who the hell this Megan Fox chick is. However, I am familiar with Katharine Heighl who I first discovered in the silly Gerard Depardieu flick, My Father the Hero from 1994.
Heigl makes no secret of the fact that she wants out of her Grey's Anatomy contract. The show, which early on was fair to middling, has degenerated into a total piece of crap. Her story lines have become ridiculous while her films which aren't exactly works of art either, at least give her somewhat of an opportunity to stretch herself, so one can sympathize with her situation.
On the other hand, while she may have been "on set" for 17 hours I'm sure she wasn't "working" the whole 17 hours. I'm sure any one of the production crew who was actually doing the work all that time would gladly have traded places with her, enjoying her long boring breaks in her trailer.

How condescending can Megan Fox be? She's like that ultra-popular preppy girl from high school who looks down on the kids in the courtyard and pities them enough to grace them with her presence. Spare me. I loathe her more and more every time she speaks.

Heigl's been doing that for some time, though the statement about 17-hour days wasn't that bad, IMO. But Megan Fox keeps digging her grave deeper and deeper. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that she isn't in the inevitable Transformers 3.
The Twilight thing was just shitty on the production company's part.

Megan Fox: Michael Bay's Like 'Napoleon' & 'Wants To Be Like Hitler'
by Access Hollywood September 2, 2009
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Megan Fox starred in the biggest movie of the summer, the Michael Bay-directed "Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen," but according to the actress, the director almost killed her and co-star Shia LaBeouf with his "Napoleon" and "Hitler" tendencies.
The box office bombshell unleashed on Bay in an interview with Britain's Wonderland magazine in its September/October issue.
And Megan's comparisons don't stop with just the 19th century dictator.
"He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward," Megan continued. "He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him. He's vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he's a tyrant."
And according to Megan, Bay pushes his actors to the almost breaking point while filming.
"Shia and I almost die when we make a 'Transformers' movie," she told the mag. "He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."
However, Megan isn't the first Hollywood star to bite the hand that helped make them into a household name.
During an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" in July, Katherine Heigl noted her return to the "Grey's Anatomy" set was greeted by some long days.
"Our first day back was Wednesday [of last week], and I keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them - [it was] a 17-hour day," she told Dave on July 20. "I think it's cruel and mean."
And while Heigl may have said the comment in jest, ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson didn't find her remarks too funny. He fired back at the ABC TCA presentation in August, saying "I think it's unfortunate. People are going to behave in the way they choose to behave. There are so many people who work so hard on 'Grey's,' and all of our shows, without any notoriety and those are the ones I'd be concerned about, people who feel like they're being criticized or looked down upon."
On Wednesday, it was announced that Heigl would take a five-episode hiatus from "Grey's" to shoot the romantic comedy "Life As We Know It."
Also in July, "Twilight's" Rachelle Lefevre was replaced in the vampire series' third movie, "Eclipse," due to a scheduling conflict. She told Access in a statement that she was "stunned" by the studio's decision and "never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part."
Summit responded to Rachelle's statement saying, "We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production."
