Film School Rejects: Megan Fox Demands Respect, Will Not Play a Stripper All the Time

    If she wants to be taken seriously as an actress, maybe she should act first...half of her line readings in Transformers and How To Lose Friends were cringe-worthy.

    Hey, I still respect Kate Winslet and Marisa Tomei...

    If she's really serious about getting respect she should simply stop doing these films and hold out for some worthwhile roles. I'm sure if she shopped around she could find some intelligently written independent films that would love to have a recognizable face amongst their cast. Unfortunately while I respect her ambition I think part of the reason she's not getting respect is she hasn't demonstrated any real acting talent. Good actors can bring their characters to life even in the most terrible films.

    Addendum: I don't think anyone's writing a movie about a stripper because Megan Fox exists. They're writing a movie about a stripper and then sending it to Megan Fox because she's young and attractive. The same reason Shia LaBeouf gets roles as a gawky, awkward teenager. Because he fits the bill, he's lanky, pale and looks young.

    I'm sure there's some guy that has written an amazingly smart script that is very serious and compelling and that, simultaneously, wants to get close w/ Megan Fox and would demand to cast her so that she would respect him and work for him, and then the deserving-script-that-could gets to be seen by everyone like it wants, and Fox can make a movie where she is taken seriously like she wants.

    And then his long-term "get the girl w/ brains and humor" strategy works and they end up working on many projects together for a long time, at least one of which he can get her to play a stripper.

    If no one else has this script in their pocket, contact Cole Abaius ASAP.

    I sympathize with her. It is hard to be taken seriously in Hollywood, but then again, it's her own fault for doing those racy photo shoots for Maxim and FHM. Respectable actresses like Ginnifer Goodwin and Keira Knightley would NEVER be caught dead posing for a trashy lad's magazine like FHM. So again, that's her own fault.

    But I think she could make a name for herself by becoming an action star like Jolie. Jolie is considered sexy AND is taken seriously because she always does big budget, action movies, while also doing serious roles (such as The Changeling and the upcoming Atlas Shrugged role)

    Jolie did Gia.

    Gia was a cocaine addicted super model who died of aids. Jolie played her superbly. Fox needs to take lots of acting classes, and small interesting roles. Build a fan base of women not men thinking about how good she looks nude. Does anyone remember the character "Chrissy Snow"? With luck, she can be billed as a young Jolie. Like Paul Walker is a young Keanu Reeves. Both are equally billed as eye candy, neither one can act.
