First Transformers 3 Clip Is, Of Course, Transformer-Free
Because no one comes to Transformers movie to see giant robots, but instead those subtle, poignant scenes of human interaction that Michael Bay does so well; here, the Beef and new girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley meet with evil Patrick Dempsey for some unknown reason. I’ll ignore the lack of Transformers in the clip — I have the feeling I’ll have more chances to discuss this in the future — and instead focus on Huntington-Whiteley, who manages to reach Channing Tatum-levels of non-acting in the brief clip. Goddamn. She makes Megan Fox look like Meryl Streep.
