The Hell Kind Of Weed Is Shia LaBeouf Smoking? (UPDATE)

Shia LaDouche was supposed to make his Broadway debut opposite Alec Baldwin and Tom Sturridge in the play Orphans, but he dropped out just a week into rehearsals and the old "creative differences" excuse was the reason given for why he quit that bitch. I figured that meant everybody was busy being creative while he was in the corner drunkenly punching a metal folding chair, because it told him his performance in Transformers was emotionally lacking. Others figured that Shia was fired because when he got into the same room as Alec, the asshole levels exploded and the 100-year-old bricks on the walls started to break and crumble. Those who figured that were right! I think.

A source told The New York Times that director Daniel Sullivan was worried about Shia's "performance choices" and had several talks with Shia and the producers about this before he decided that the role should be recast. Shita (typo and it stays) couldn't keep his mouth shut about this and he went a Twitter rampage last night, tweeting the e-mail he wrote to everyone involved in the production and then he posted everyone's responses. Shia's email was co-produced by his local weed dealer and Jack Daniels, because it is a rambling stream of melodramatic ridiculousness. If Game of Thrones was rebooted and set in 1940s Boston and written by a writer who claims he's the second coming of David Mamet, this is what one of the monologues would read like. This is some serious Valar Dohaeris shit and not in a good way:

“My dad was a drug dealer. He was a shit human. But he was a man. He taught me how to be a man. What I know of men, Alec is. A man is good at his job. Not his work, not his avocation, not his hobby. Not his career. His job. A man can look you up and down and figure some things out. Before you say a word, he makes you. From your suitcase, from your watch, from your posture. A man infers.

A man owns up. That’s why Mark McGwire is not a man. A man grasps his mistakes. He lays claim to who he is, and what he was, whether he likes them or not. Some mistakes, though, he lets pass if no one notices. Like dropping the steak in the dirt.

He does not rely on rationalizations or explanations. He doesn’t winnow, winnow, winnow until truths can be humbly categorized, or intellectualized, until behavior can be written off with an explanation. A man knows his tools and how to use them – just the ones he needs. Knows which saw is for what, how to find the stud. A man does not know everything. He doesn’t try. He likes what other men know. A man can tell you he was wrong. That he did wrong. That he planned to. He can tell you when he is lost. He can apologize, even if sometimes it’s just to put an end to the bickering. Alec, I’m sorry for my part of a dis-agreeable situation. - Shia.”

A man also knows how to wear out a fucking bong, apparently. What kind of pretentious foolery? Like dropping shit in my eyes. Even James Franco is like, "Hit the brakes, Shia!"

UPDATE: Shia LaDouche's "a man" monologue was pretty much a copy + paste job of this article from Esquire. Of course!

And here's Alec's response. It's best if you read this in Michael Caine's voice, because I'm pretty sure this is one of Alfred's speeches from Batman:

“I’ve been through this before. It’s been a while. And perhaps some of the particulars are different. But it comes down to the fact that what we all do now is critical. Perhaps especially fro you. When the change comes, how do we handle it, whether it be good or bad? What do we learn? I don’t have an unkind word to say about you. You have my word. – AB”

Shia responded with, "Same. Be well. Good luck on the play. You'll be great."

And Tom Sturridge responded with:

“Are you still here? I don’t really know what to write. I went in this afternoon and they were all there… producers, etc. I said my piece but they didn’t really listen. I don’t understand what has happened here. Maybe you have had a more enlightening conversation with someone by now. All I can say is that it truly was an honour to work with you even if it was only for a few days. I was stunned by the work you were doing, the performance you were giving. I think you lifted the play to a place high than maybe it even deserved to be. I hope this isn’t the last time we work together and I especially hope it isn’t the last time we see each other. Hope you’re ok brother – Tom”

I think what Tom really meant to write was, "Are you still here, because it sounds like the shit you're smoking is making your brain liquefy and leak out of the pores on your head and I'm going to need your dealer's number."

And finally, Daniel Sullivan responded with this:

“I’m too old for disagreeable situations. You’re on hell of a great actor. Alec is who he is. You are who you are. You two are incompatible. I should have known it. This one will haunt me. You tried to warn me. You said you were a different breed. I didn’t get it. – Dan“

Actor and theater people are so beyond weird. Why aren't all of us in the theater? You get to smoke a lot of drugs and write emails like you're a character in a superhero movie. "You tried to warn me! The change is coming! I should've listened! Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

And since we've gone this far, let's go all the way and let the foolery tip our chairs back until we fall on the floor. Here's Shia's audition video:

Posted by: Michael K


still confused as to exactly was the problem here? (Shia obviously) But he comes across as so open and intense about his beliefs way of working (method) etc but if he's so into the craft of it you would think he'd be able to not be soo stuborn but instead when theres a clash, the director and Alec are older than you, it's a good cast and project, your'e jus one piece of an ensemble and to work through differences to give the best performance you can and do the play justice.

Seems it was battle of the Alpha males or something and neither were willing t back down so Shia walked.

Sad really, always thought that threw his 'douchey' attitude he was a really upfront and down to earth guy not caring for any of the falseness of the industry he works in.

But this really does show his age.

Think about all the people cast in films and plays surely not every single person gets along perfectly and there are clashes but you work through it, only diva's pull the my way or highway act!

on a side note how MATURE complete opposite attitude of Tom to have had in all of this.

Pitty Shia could'nt have sucked it up a bit longer to have learnt a thing or two from him about how although it's good to have your own ethics and be true to that, being intelligent is'nt always shouting your opinion, it's knowing it, being comfortable with it not always trying to prove it and although not agreeing always in these group situations sometimes being the bigger person and letting others have theirs.

I know it's a bit ass-kissy, but Tom Sturridge just got a lot hotter to me with that letter. I can't stand LeDouche, but I like a guy with manners and generosity.

With so much drama emanating from both Alec and Shia on a daily basis, Sullivan could have saved himself a whole lotta aspirin and ca$h by just having these two "colorful" actors re-enact on stage the stunts they pulled in the last 48 hrs. True tragicomedy.

Alec: Shia, you are dirty filthy little Yid bloodsucker.

Shia: I don't need this shit man, I got some killer bud and a Hooker's phone number.

Tom: Yo! Shia...you my nigga!

Dan: Don't fuck with Alec Baldwin, he don't play no games, Son.

Alec: Tom, if you don't stop talking like some Coon I will choke you to death.

He can't act and he is known for being the King of the Pompous Douchebags. The real question is why any producer would consider him for anything?

Daniel Sullivan should be fired for being an utter moron.

They are actors. A great gig if you are lucky enough. They become nauseating when they believe their own hype and liken their importance to a neurosurgeon. Dude it just isn't that deep. It's a play.

I've been baffled for years as to how he gets roles. I know he has had some big successes but they have all been the type of parts that would have been successful regardless of who played them. No matter who played the lead Transformers and Indiana Jones 4 were going to be hits. He has never done a single film where the success of it can be attributed to him.

The few lines of the drivel I did read were in his herky-jerky tweaker boy cadence from Transformers and they sound a lot less pretentious and a LOT more like drugs are bad, mmmmmkay?

Can This over-rated hipster motherfucker shut the fuck up? Seriously, his biggest hit was transformers and before that he was on Even Stevens. That rambling sack of green babyshit's explanation o'fuckery sounds like it was vomited out by someone who thought they were somebody. You ain't Robert DeNiro, You ain't Frank Sinatra, You ain't Marlon Brando, fuck, kid, you're not even fucking Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. So how this bitch thinks he's just this huge prominent figure is laughable...the shit he's smoking must be some really strong shit.

Here's what I bet happened: Shia and Alec had an argument. Shia quit, walked out. Shia later "cools off" and Daniel refuses to rehire him. Daniel does not want to put up with repeated drama, fighting, and making up between his main actors throughout the run of the play. Alec doesn't want to work with him either, but says a few nice things about him so he'll shut up and go away. Daniel agrees to take the blame for getting rid of Shia in order to have the play proceed as smoothly as possible, get a little publicity, and so Alec doesn't look like an unlikeable, unworkable, dickhead (again).

Cara's picture

Oh my God, that Esquire/Shia rant was so incredibly stupid. I'm not sure what's more hilarious - that some bro sat down and wrote (then published) that joke of an article for other bros to read, or that somebody like Shia the Douche took it to heart and spouts it as truth. What a massive load of fuckery. "A man infers." Fuck you.

If I'm reading this right, Alex Baldwin actually took the high road??? Well, I'll be damned.

That Esquire list is hilarious...ly stoopid:

"He understands the basic mechanics of the planet. Or he can close one eye, look up at the sun, and tell you what time of day it is. Or where north is. He can tell you where you might find something to eat or where the fish run. He understands electricity or the internal-combustion engine, the mechanics of flight or how to figure a pitcher's ERA."

"He doesn't see himself lost in some great maw of humanity, some grand sweep. That's the liberal thread; it's why men won't line up as liberals."

"A miter saw, incidentally, is the kind that sits on a table, has a circular blade, and is used for cutting at precise angles. Very satisfying saw."

This is the 2013 equivalent to the utterly inexplicable "attaboy, you dumb f**k" routine I hear occasionally from Macho Macho Men. It's sort of a tacit "Yeah you're a douche, but you're a GREAT douche, and I love you, man! Now get the hell outta here!" dismissal. No harm, no foul.

Excuse me? LaDouche lives up to his name, but the other three give him a pass? That's called "enabling," guys. He'll remain a compulsive, non-starting, selfish moron if he keeps getting "positive reinforcement" like this.

Why does this guy still keep getting jobs anywhere, is what I'd like to know.

More ridiculous hubble-grubble from the Esquire piece that Shia-diarrhea plagiarized:

"A man listens, and that's how he argues. He crafts opinions. He can pound the table, take the floor. It's not that he must. It's that he can."

"A man refracts his vision and gains acuity. This serves him in every way. No one taught him this — to be quiet, to cipher, to watch. In this way, in these moments, the man is like a zoo animal: both captive and free. You cannot take your eyes off a man when he is like that. You shouldn't. The hell if you know what he is thinking, who he is, or what he will do next."

"A man does not wither at the thought of dancing. But it is generally to be avoided." <---THA FUCK? whatever.
