Megan Fox Drives Nerds Wild Worldwide with 'Lord of the Rings' Talk

By Bryan Alexander Posted Jun 20th 2010 09:53AM

Megan Fox is known for her provocative interview comments. Now, she's turning up the heat in the nerd community by showing a true knowledge of 'The Lord of the Rings.'

The 'Jonah Hex' hottie, an avowed comic book fan, gave an off-the-cuff explanation of how you can never please hardcore comic book and Tolkien purists. More importantly, it showed she speaks nerd fluently.

"I'm a 'Lord of the Rings' fan. And I'll go on the forums," Fox said at the 'Jonah Hex' press day. "And they'll complain that Frodo is eating the Lembas bread outside of Mordor instead of the in the Mines of Moria. And they get really mad."

"You cannot focus completely on pleasing them because you'll never win," Fox continued. "They'll never be happy no matter what you do."

"Peter Jackson and company won like 30 something Oscars for those movies," she added, defending movie license. Well, to be exact, the trilogy won 17 Oscars. But you had us at Lembas, Megan.

Nerd cred has never been hotter. It doesn't matter that she seems to be engaged. Nerds can still dream.

No movie nerds fainted during the explanation, but there were some impressed looks all around. Even co-star Josh Brolin was stunned into a rare silence before he finally uttered the one word that summed the scene up: "Cool."

Fox plays a prostitute with a heart of gold who stands by Hex through thick and thin -- and shows off a very thin waistline. Discussing her movie corset might have finished off any nerds still standing in the room.

"I loved the corset," she said. "Everyone thought I was in pain or hurting or something was wrong with me because my waist was so small. But I enjoyed it. And I wish they would come back into style."

Oh, and here's today's version of "as Megan Fox turns." Who's getting paid off to keep her in the news on a daily basis? It's a farce.

It's not a farce. It's FARK!!

I consider myself a slight nerd but i'm not the "pathetic" nerd who drools at images of cute girls. I could care a less what these "hot" celebrities think since it's not as if we're going to start hanging out ya know. Stop being p*ssywhipped and roll your tongue back in. Rewarding women for their beauty only enables them to use you.

By Bob the Wimp

I'm a pathetic nerd--at least that's what people call me or much worse. I would give my right arm for a chance at Megan Fox. But she wouldn't give me the time of day...not because of her fiance, but for my not-so-good looks that women usually point out when I ask them out and am quickly turned down. Oh well, I have my dreams.

By wammer

if brian austin green has a chance with megan fox, all us nerds do...at least we actually still have careers

By Willy

Say wasn't "Lord of the Rings" 15 or 20 years ago? How old is this babe anyway?

By Adam

Megan Fox gets so much attention, yet her only hit movies were the two "Transformers" films, a special-effects franchise which clearly would have still been huge hits with any other starlet in her role (she's not even appearing in the next sequel). The two movies since those, which she starred in ("Jennifer's Body" and "Jonah Hex"), were both huge flops. Isn't in time to back off the "Megan Mania" already and run some articles about other actresses who might actually have some talent, and who might actually sell some tickets?

Nerd yes, goddess no.

By ofalaska

Some people are just born perfectly hot and most of the rest of the species either worships them, lusts after them or condemns them, depending on whether they're just lonely, horny or envious. (like a lot of women who were born ugh-leee) Someone saying Jonah Hex "was" a flop is pretty prescient since it just came out Friday anyway.

By ken

No Willy the Lord of the Ring wasn't 15-20 yrs ago.
The 1st one was 9 yrs ago..

The Fellowship of the Ring 2001
The Two Towers 2002
The Return of the King 2003

By JEREMY

I always believed,at the core,Megan Fox had some measure of intelligence that so many people refused to focus on.I also believe,and I will gladly argue the point with ANYBODY who will challenge me on this,that one day Ms. Megan Fox will SURPRISE US ALL AND BLOW ALL YOU HATERS AWAY WITH A MOVIE ROLE THAT WILL ELEVATE HER TO A-LIST STATUS. YES!! Right up there with Meryl,Julia,& Angelina. I open the floor for discussion.....NOW!

By Tim

Megan Fox is seriously gross. At first I thought she was hot in the first transformer movie, but now she looks worn out and sick, totally unattractive scag - too much blow and booze. Her acting truly sucks. I feel sorry for her. Brian Austin Green - you dodged a serious bullet.

By N

Ahem......Bull Shiite!

By tam

dude, she could flip an egg with that thumb........ and how hot to guys could a chiclette be when she says she thinks "all guys are dirty"?

By CHARLES

SOUNDS LIKE MEGAN IS GOTH

By Bob the Builder

Nothing sexier than a chic who loves nerd lit

By usarules

I'm sick of talking about nerds. They should get a life. Megan's okay though.

By Dave

Frak, how much of that is real anyway?

By Terri

Nerd yes, goddess no. By mw

Right on the money. I haven't seen her in any other movies other than Transformers and I don't feel she's a true Actor.
She r e a l l y messed up leaving the franchise!
