Megan Fox: Decade's Worst/Sexiest Actress

According to a poll on AOL's Moviefone.com, Megan Fox was both the worst and the sexiest actress of 2009.





That cracks me up.

Doesn't talent have something to do with being sexy, anymore? You'd think that someone who was really impressive in a movie would rank higher. Instead she does NOTHING other than continue to exist and breath while Michael Bay points a camera at her, and gets acclaim for it.

EDIT: Forgive the error in the thread title, Moviephone said she was only the worst of 2009. I've been looking at "of the Decade" threads all day long though, so my brain had crossed wires.

Sadly, all this amounts to is tacit support of her status as an object in the Transformers films and a jab at her attempts at actually acting in the (somewhat) feminist film Jennifer's Body. I liked Transformers 2 a whole lot, so I can't claim Jennifer's Body is the better film, but I enjoyed elements of it and I found Fox's performance to be more than serviceable, particularly given Cody's at-times cringe-inducing dialogue. I think the virulent reaction against Fox coterminous with that film's release is really awful and misogynistic (as are the results of this survey), particularly considering how relatively good that film is. (The script has great moments--though nothing even approaching genre-great Heathers--but it never finds its footing or even a coherent central metaphor, and the direction, while strong, is too restrained for the stylized script.)

Ultimately, this is just boys being boys.

Thought she did a pretty good job in Jennifer's Body. She's obviously hired for her looks, but she's hardly the worst actress out there. What acclaim are you talking about by the way? You mean the Sexiest of '09 acclaim?

I have not seen JB, I tend to wait for films to come out on DvD rather than go to a theater. Last time I went to one, for instance, I wound up covered in gooey wads of gum, and was mocked by theater employees.


I guess my dislike of her stems from how Megan Fox crazy every guy* on the planet seemed to get in the past few years. It wouldn't bother me except for the fact I found her terrible at worst, and "un-special" at best in the Transformers films. I feel like there are so many other actresses who deserve that kind of attention, and yet Fox gets the spotlight and the fame just because of her genes.

*I'm aware some guys dislike her too, or are less than enthusiastic for her work, but you wouldn't know that from the media

I actually agree that she's one of the worst (if not the worst) actresses working in big budget films today. And yes, I've seen Jennifer's Body.

First off, if you honestly think that acting ability or talent makes someone more attractive then you aren't living in the modern world. While yes, someone's personality or skills may make them more or less attractive to you personally, there is no denying that the majority of people consider physical beauty the (primary) barometer for sexiness. And while you can say Fox's plasticy looks are not for you, you cannot claim she isn't sexy or attractive because that is either stupidity or jealousy. And you should know by now that the media loooovvvesss people who look good regardless of skill level (see anyone named Kardashian or Hilton).

Personally, her weird mutant thumbs really turn me off.

Doesn't the same thing happen here? I'm somewhat curious as to why they mocked you.

I'd put Nikki Reed/Ashley Greene of the Twilight movies as much worse in the big blockbusters category. But the list of women in those types of movies that are in them consistently isn't that long.

I'd add Nicole Kidman to the list of shit in big blockbusters. Her frozen face alone makes every scene agony to watch.

A poll like this is a way for all the tween girls to get back at Fox for being hotter than them. New Moon was voted best fill. Malin Ackerman was 5th in the worst actress poll for Watchmen. All you need to know about that poll.

I read that quickly and mistook a G for a C. Changed the post about 1000%.

I found this amusing when I read it (regardless of whether or not it's true):

Megan Fox said her 'audition' for Transformers was Michael Bay filming her washing his car. When he was asked about this, he said "Er ... I have no idea where that footage is now".

Careful reading is key.

I wrote about the incident on the 2012 thread. The seat I sat in was covered in wads of gum, and I only discovered at the end of the movie. It ruined my clothes and when I complained I was basically mocked by rude employees of the theater.
