4 Shia strikes again

Saw the trailer for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps again yesterday. Every time I watch it my hatred for Shia Labeouf increases ten fold. First he takes part in raping the Indiana Jones legacy. Now he's going after another classic. Can someone please do something about this? Please, for the love of god.

I'm gonna have to put most of the blame on Oliver Stone here. Apparently between watching Labeouf scream at CGI robots and swing through the jungle with CGI monkeys, Stone decided "This is my man!" This is the kind of talent that will carry my picture.

It's also possible Shia's casting is the product of a weak script no real actors wanted a part of (with Douglas agreeing only for nostalgia's sake). Alan Loeb and Stephen Shiff wrote the screenplay. Alan most recently penned the script for 21, the god-awful thriller about Vegas card counters. Not exactly a good sign. Regardless, I pray this is the last time Labeouf tries "acting" in a serious role.

Fuck this kid, so annoying. Pray to God he doesn't get a part in Y: The Last Man when it eventually comes out.

Shia says he doesn't want to do Y: The Last Man because his role is too similar to his character in Transformers.

By similar does he mean boring and one-dimensional? Cuz that's exactly what Sam was in Transformers.

I have never found him to be interesting and personally feel his career was made of the back of his role in Crystal Skulls, biz people went 'hey wait Spielberg likes this guy, he must not be shit in every audition'. Sadly he is just shit in general.
