It's weird how many leading men are extremely short. Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr must be like 5'3". My dad's theory was that manlets fit in the frame better, and their short limbs make their movements more graceful.
Movie stars used to be taller in the days of 5:4, but now everyone wants 16:9, so unless you film at a Dutch angle or sideways you need to zoom out or hire small actors, basic math really.
Imagine being Shia LaBouf. Really imagine it for a moment.
You saw the election. You saw Hillary talk about the "alt-right," some kind of secret society of nazis. You were having a beer, you laughed it off, thought she was just being a ditz. That Milo guy sounds gross though. Oh well.
Then Trump wins. Your mind is blown. It has to have been racists, or just suburban and rural retards, right? You set up your art project. You find a speaker playing some shitty music sitting on it one morning. People start shouting words. You know those words. You've heard it before. Pepe? At the Hillary speech...
Then you start seeing them. It's like they all know something you don't know. At first it's just some assholes fucking with your project, but then you realize that your people know them too. Everyone is in on the joke except you.
A few months later you're setting up a flag in a field in Kentucky. People are tweeting you. THEY are looking for you. THEY've almost found it. that isn't possible. They? Do they mean... Oh no.
Your flag is gone. A Trump hat is in its place. You can't handle it. You just want to run. You're in a bowling ally. You're drinking yourself stupid. Who the fuck are these people? How many of them are there? The UK, New York, Kentucky, New Mexico, where can you fucking go where this fucking cult can't find you?
Someone walks up to the chalk pillow to pat his hands down, and notices you. He leans over. Maybe he wants an autograph?
It came up in some normie part of reddit earlier and they were posting about how he tricked /pol/ by making them publicize all this shit. And now they're publicizing his movie that sold only 3 tickets. He's laughing his way to the bank somehow.
The Shia LaBeouf thriller “Man Down” has managed to triple the number of general-public paid admissions in Britain – from one ticket sold to three.
During its U.K. opening weekend last weekend, it sold a single ticket in its only venue, the Reel Cinema in Burnley, northern England, taking in a whopping £7 ($8.73), according to data tracker comScore. That admission is believed to have been a single student ticket priced at £6.90 (comScore rounds its data up to the nearest pound).
The cinema is since confirmed to have sold a further two tickets since its dismal opening weekend.
The film has seen a slight boost, however, from a specialist theater chain that provides films for military personnel and their dependents in the U.K. and overseas. SSVC Forces Cinemas has eight theaters in the U.K.
“Man Down” is an obvious choice for Forces Cinemas given that its central character, played by LaBeouf, is a U.S. Marine returning home from a tour in Afghanistan suffering from PTSD. The film played at the circuit’s Forum Cinema in Blandford on Monday and Tuesday and generated more than three times the box office of the Burnley site, taking results through Tuesday to £79 ($98.50).

Not trying to break the circlejerk cause I find all this shit hilarious, but everywhere I look it says 5'9.
n/a cavides 2017-04-06
Hollywood 5'9" is real world 5'7"
n/a harrah8083 2017-04-06
Yeah I guess it would be pretty hard to find high level acting work when you list your height as 5'7.

It looks like his movie is going to end its UK run with only three tickets sold. He'll be laughing all the way to Burger King.

I didn't even know he had a movie out until this thread
n/a ImNotPayingFullPrice 2017-04-06
It's not even trumpets fucking with him anymore. It's everyone under the age of 30 (and some over) except the SRD-type people.
How long until it's like that scene from The Weatherman?
"Hey weatherman!"
*On a cold winter day in downtown Chicago, Nic Cage turns at the sound of of someone yelling to him from a passing car*
*Gets hit in the fucking face with a milkshake*
*Car of dudes laughs as they drive away*

He pretty much looked like drunk in a bar Ron Burgundy at the HWNDU instillation.

TMZ are good eggs. I don't care what anyone says.
n/a PM_ME_HAIRLESS_CATS 2017-04-06
Shia needs:
Intensive mental health treatment
Rehab
Return to the Transformers franchise
n/a theherps 2017-04-06
No, he needs:
-bag of meth
-handgun
-camera to livestream his shenagans
n/a hexane360 2017-04-06
It's like the purge, but just for him. And it doesn't end.

I don't know man, this seems like too realistic a possibility to take bets on.
n/a Forseti5 2017-04-06
I'd say a 60% chance Shia does some kind of real attack in 2017. Just to be clear, by real attack I mean something involving a weapon.
n/a OnlyRacistOnReddit 2017-04-06
