This is doubtless just a teensy tinesy sampling of a still evolving story. Public opinion is Urijah Faber, and Shia is Michael MacDonald in this scenario.
.@thecampaignbook Ah, naïveté. I mean, except for the 4 other movies you've directed and the 3 you've produced, this was all new, huh?

@JamesUrbaniak Dude, @thecampaignbook is just an inexperienced “amateur filmmaker” who’s new to Hollywood. Give the poor little lamb a break

@PiaGuerra It's amazing how it took him until now to snap out of his creative trance and realise he never credited Clowes. #fullofshit

Unrelated but still germane:
I don't want rappers or celebs to end up doing bad generic corporate comics bc they just love comics & don't understand the biz side of it

“LeBeouf-gate”? Why not “Shia-gate,” which strikes me as somewhat more pleasing to the eye/ear? :)
I love that segments of “his” apology were also copied from other sources. Hilarious. Respond to plagiarism with more plagiarism.
Definitely time for some money to change hands to make the ‘apology’ more tangible.
It’s not a question of “crediting” Clowes. If that was the only concern, it would be easily taken care of. He made a movie of the guy’s material and didn’t even contact the author for permission. That’s basic filmmaking. He obviously thought no one would notice, that Clowes is “little people,” and that anything that strikes his fancy is his for the taking.
Shia should have remade Art School Confidential instead.
like todd alcott says.
I wonder if he knew that Transformers wasn’t just inspired by Hasbro toys…
