It is simple. The Shia, he is gorgeous and that is the explanation for the success of the Shia. And also way too young for me. Yes I am ashamed of myself, but you asked.

Regarding Shia–he is a Disney tv show alum, so somewhat recognizable to the younger generation. I think it helps to go into an audition with a fan base under your belt.

I just came home from the movie. It was pretty bad and it made me sad. There were far too many effects and action sequences. It just looked like it was done too much on soundstages.

But yes, I laughed a fwe times too.

And Shia – liked him well enough in Constantine. Here, not so much. They better not try to continue the franchise with him. I’d be PO.

His charm can best be summed up in a single scene from Transformers.

He is searching his room for an important artifact, while simultaneously trying to keep his parents out. He finally opens the door. He is disheveled and covered in dirt from being chased by Decepticons all night. His mother asks him why he’s so dirty.

In the most matter-of-fact tone possible, he simply replies “I’m a child.”

Sorry, Manolo, Miss Janey cannot explain the Shia’s success. She cannot understand it either.

For the Manolo the best part of the entire movie was seeing Karen Allen return to the cinema. She was the only person who seemed to recognize the essential ridiculousness of the entire venture, and was thus very funny.

The movie was entertaining on some parts, I did chuckle once or twice but at the end of the movie, boyfriend and I looked at each other and did not know what to say…. Not what we are expecting at all.

I’ve been enraptured by the ability of men who lived so long ago to identify – and soothe – the human feeling.

May you find comfort in their words.
