Amell is kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. I mean, he finally gets into a movie... but it's a Michael Bay movie. What two actors are most associated with Bay movies?

Megan Fox. And Shia LaBeef. (I cannot spell that little guy's surname for the life of me.)

If I were Amell, I'd be cranky, too.

It's the Walmart of film making, "They'll hire anyone." Well, anyone with the right measurements or other cliche Hollywood traits. (At least they tried hard in the effort of hiring the Turtles' guys and it shows.)

They hired a guy who is only known for playing a vigilante to... play a vigilante.

Yup, that's some quality hiring right there!

Basically a condensed version of the sentence above, but more tactful towards the readers.
Oh in that case I agree completely

Well at least he's more polite than Megan Fox and didn't tell the guy to f off.

Oh yeah - she did say that. I think Bay said something very similar to that too.

I'm sure at this point Megan have heard every single conceivable complaint and criticism by now, that she don't give a flying **** about "whiny fans".

That's why she got away from social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in some interviews she talked about how they are toxic, and keeping her own children away from technology.

Oh goodie, she's going to be one of those parents who are technophobes and try to shield their children from their allure all because she couldn't take the heat for the one time.

Good luck with that.

Luddites. Luddites everywhere.

Except on the interwebs, obviously.

Social media =/= technology

I'm damn glad that there wasn't easy access to the Internet when I was young and stupider.

As evidenced here, the internet doesn't forget.
And boy does it sure play favorites.

Well to be fair as a celebrity her reality is a bit different than everyone else. I mean it's easy for you to say that because when someone googles your name you won't find endless pictures of yourself and your family and strangers calling you every filthy name in the book.

Hey, it's not often I get to make a Luddite joke. Let me have this.

But as a parent, yeah, I wouldn't let my kids have access to social media for quite a few years... not until they learn some responsibility and critical thinking skills.
