Okay...he can make the Indiana Jones movies a bad memory. I can forgive it. I have the first three.
Fine, he can single-handedly ruin the Transformers movies. I still have my toys and the old cartoon to console me.
The man just put out TWO "graphic novels" if you want to call them that, and I've just heard from two comic book stores who are excited to be carrying them. Look for "Let's F***ing Party" and "Cyclical" to show up at a store near you soon...if you've managed to somehow piss off a deity or something, I don't know...
Is there a goddamn hidden camera around here? Is someone making a joke? Seriously? All you have to do now is join the Saints, LaBeouf!

But I blame the writers for that.
As for the Transformers movies, I have to agree - there are so many factors that made those terrible. Don't give Shia LaBeouf more credit than he deserves.
What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Anyway, though, those "graphic novels" look terrible. And there are two stores excited to be carrying them? Is that how far comic shops have fallen? So desperate for any kind of buzz to draw in customers that they are excited about something that doesn't look as good as most of the Kinko's-stapled offerings from the smallest Artist Alleys, just because it has a famous name slapped on it?
I weep.
I might party with Shia, he's bound to have good looking women hanging around right? and it's a party so you wouldn't have to talk to him for very long. "What was it like working on disturbia?"........"ok great well I'm going to go get a drink, talk to you later"
I've gotta admit, though, those graphic novels look pretty grisly.
I may be wrong about it. I don't think I am, though...I think I was more turned off by the LCS's excitedly promoting it. "Coming soon we've got exciting new graphic novels from Transformers star Shia LaBeouf! Pre-order yours now because they're going to go fast!"
Apparently he got his ass kicked in a bar fight while he was here in Vancouver.
And surprisingly, it had nothing to do with Transformers (or hockey).
Eh, he'll always be Louis from Even Stevens to me.
I'm not really bothered about the recent TF movies myself (it's the '86 movie or nothing) or anything else he was in but the directors, writers and produces hold the lion's share of the blame. Shia's not big enough to tell studios what to do.
Here is some interior art, yes, I am definitely wrong. FFS.:

Jumping from my old school desks to a comic book soon!
I made a sarcastic comment earlier in this thread about how I could make a comic book, I just need to star in some multi-million dollar movies first, but I think it's not a joke. I've always wished I could create something, but other than some half-formed ideas that would not come anywhere close to what they are in my head if I could put them on paper, I always thought I had nothing. But compared to that? I'm Alan Moore compared to that (but without the beard or curmudgeonliness). I'm Jack Kirby, Grant Morrison, Jim Lee, Alex Ross, Garth Ennis, Jeff Smith or whoever floats your own personal boat.
For the record, I only clicked on the letsfuckingparty link and didn't get very far before my eyes fell out of their socket, so if the rest is brilliant, my apologies. "An illustrated journey into my thoughts." Really? I wouldn't admit that if I was you, Shia. I wouldn't want to admit that there's nothing there.
Of course, he's the one with the millions of dollars so maybe he is smarter than me.....
(and for the record, he's actually been in a few movies that I like, even if I can't personally stand him. I'll admit that I liked the TF movies. I liked Disturbia, but I liked it in spite of him, not because of him.)

Now, as a cynical comic fan, my knee-jerk is to write that off as lip service. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm pretty sure he could give two tugs, and I can't blame him for that, but good for him realizing what the situation looks like.
