Guess it depends how you define success. If she was happy playing along and cashing checks, then absolutely. Not if she'd hoped it was a stepping stone to something different that never materialized, then she must be disappointed her Bay image stuck so totally and blocked her in to just that type of character.

Why would this not be considered a movie for all? The all male team was considered a movie for all. Traditionally, a movie for women meant Meg Ryan doing something twee while chasing love for an hour and a half. Is this not a vast improvement, women actually doing stuff? Stuff that isn't 'dispose of disposable fiance…

Do we count Inside Out?

I'm realizing as I think about who else I'd like to see cast, that you literally never see this… like, ever. An entire cast of well established, talented/academy award winning female actors, all together, in charge of the entire plot of the movie. It's actually insane, that it feels so weird and new, thinking of other…

Truth.

I'm not trying to make a case for Megan Fox being some deep and underappreciated genius here! She's definitely one of these full-on new age crazy-heads! I just meant she's not wrong with that last part, generally speaking.

Yeah, women get this kind of crap to deal with across the workplace and in life all the time. Stereotypical attractiveness over a certain level = instant assumptions of incompetence + stupidity. Which is crazy, because obviously the two are not related.

Only the strongest survive in LaLa Land. Hollyweird comes to collect.

It's sad she lives in a city that makes women feel like they need that shit even before they reach 30. Totally crazy that Megan Fox felt like she needed work.
All the crooked surgeons in Hollywood should be lined up and shot, they're seriously butchers.

Upvote for A+ Peep Show quote.

Like, she's not wrong with that last paragraph though. I've always felt bad about the way people expect idiocy, shallowness, and vanity from her just because she's a good looking woman who's been trussed up by sexist asshat, Michael Bay and various other directors/casting agents looking to cast her because of the…

"How do you know?" "I don't. I ¸¸.•*¨*•believe•*¨*•.¸¸ it to be true."

Okay! Okay! Now, can we get Lupita Nyong'o, Ellen Page, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connelly, Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, Tilda Swinton, and Rinko Kikuchi in on this? With Tom Hiddleston as our solitary guy/love interest!
Go - make it so!

I think that's definitely got something to do with it. People get swept up in the popularity or hype of what's happening at the time, but you can't replicate those conditions exactly the next time around, because 1) It doesn't feel new anymore, and 2) People are wise in retrospect to the fact they didn't enjoy it as…

I'm really surprised it tanked. I wasn't expecting this one to make another billion, but I wasn't expecting a discrepancy that humongous. Obviously we've only had opening weekend, but I'll be amazed if it makes it to even a quarter of what the first one did. I guess more surprising that this one failed was the fact…

I would guess so, since the whole production ground to a ridiculously expensive halt while they replanned, rewrote, and rescheduled the entire last half of the movie.
I guess we'll find out with 8 if they can write a tighter script. From what I can make out it seems like it will be focusing more on Dom, his past, and…

It's really interesting just how big a flop this Alice sequel was compared to the ridiculously massive success of the first one. It's even more interesting coming on the heels of The Huntsman flopping compared to the success of the first one.
I wonder what happened. I would guess that people are bored with unfocused…

I'm going to go ahead and say an unfortunate no on that one. In the past, abuse allegations haven't made a difference to the box office of other powerful men in film.

People tiring of her being miscast in roles far too mature for her, being perceived to be giving less than enthusiastic performances in these big franchise pics, and being nominated for Oscars for less-than-deserving performances over other fan favorites, I think. I'm pretty neither-here-nor-there on Lawrence usually,…

7 was very pieced together, but that's kind of understandable, because it was… pieced together. They spent so much time trying to figure out how to keep Paul Walker alive and re-write everything mid-production, the rest was secondary.
