Choose your mouthpiece wisely

Stars can bring a lot of buzz to movies and all the games, toys and merch that often accompany them. However, it's always a good idea to have your star media trained, especially if he's a little wet behind the ears.

I'm talking of course of Transformer lead Shia LaBeouf bashing games in which he stars. I'm all for honesty, and he may be right about the games not being great to play, but talking down your own revenue steams is never a wise move. They just might dry up.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Prepositions

This article goes to show how little importance most of the country puts on even remotely acceptable grammar. With one of the worst literacy rates in the industrialized world, director Michael Bay is here to remind us that in America, the ability to speak or write coherently is not required. Amusingly, he does this all while lambasting his marketing team for failing to perform up to the last Transformers movie's numbers. Perhaps, Mr. Bay, it's because your instructions were unclear. Or perhaps it's because the GM doesn't have as much money to spend on the tie-in as they did for the first Transformers movie...you know, the kind that includes lots of co-op advertising dollars, in-store merchandising and the like? That fact won't, however, stop me from going to see the new movie. I just hope this hot little pink/purple number to the right is in it.
