Hello, Rosie!

Megan Fox starred in the first two Transformers films as the lead actress--until she said bad things about Michael Bay, overlord of the big cinematic explosions and over all movie mayhem.

And so, Fox was replaced in the third Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon, by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and this was how Bay decided to introduce her in the film.

The camera follows her backside all the way up a flight of stairs, dropping down to a nice shot of her feet.

I enjoyed Dark of the Moon the most out of the Bay-directed Transformers films, and it wasn't just because of this scene (although it helped).

It opened with this great idea that the Apollo moon landings were really done to secure Transformers tech that crashed on the dark side of the moon.

As if that wasn't enough, the city of Chicago undergoes a major invasion by the Decepticons, and Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock from Star Trek) provides the voice of Sentinel Prime.

And, yeah: having a barefoot Rosie prance around half-dressed really did tip this over into being one of my favorites.
