   Hugo Weaving actually did a good job IMO. Sounds Megatrony enough for me.

   Mr. Prime, it seems you have been leading… two lives…
   In one, you are a truck. In the other, you are a robot from outer space.
   One of these lives, Mr. Prime, has a future.

       Sounds like a medical problem. You might want to get that checked out.

   Hugo Weaving does a good job in everything, I mean seriously, ever seen V for Vendetta, Natalie Portman destroys it (she almost as annoying as Keira Knightely) but to Hugo I say hell yes.

     Sorry but c’mon the issue with V for Vendetta was the plotholes and the directing, not Natalie Portman, that being said Hugo Weaving was GREAT in it.

     I didn’t realize I was in the minority thinking that Natalie Portman was great in that role.

       I didn’t realize anyone found Keira Knightley annoying, but there you have it. And just to add, I like Knightley, Weaving and Portman in almost everything they do.

   Weaving has a great voice for rolls like Megatron, Agent Smith, and V (one of my all time favourite movies).

   That being said, I still don’t get how we ended up with Agent Elrond.

   This is actually frighteningly prescient, considering that doctors are now attempting to use AIDS (well, technically they’re using HIV, but…meh) to combat cancer.

     I thought it was a bit the reverse? Is there research to use it to attack the cancer cells because it’s a retrovirus that can invade cells or something? I could see that being plausible I suppose, but it’s funny, because there’s a reverse case of a type of cancer accidentally leading to a potential cure for AIDS…

     There was a German guy whose HIV got killed off after he had a marrow transplant because of bone cancer… after an epic few days of illness (sounded like the worst ever bout of flu, nearly killed him, but didn’t quite), he bounced right back… HIV-free.

     The marrow donor had been someone who carried the gene that gives you resistance to Bubonic Plague and HIV (yes, for some reason, the same gene does both of those things), a fairly rare gene that’s in an estimated 1% of the population. And guess what? Your bone marrow is where blood cells are produced. So fresh, HIV-resistant blood cells started taking root… and attacking the hell out of the virus.

     Mind you, it’s not the nicest cure… only like one guy has had it happen to him, and THAT involved a painful bone marrow transplant and then lying in a hospital bed convinced you were gonna die miserably sick.

     But it… actually appears to have worked.

     I’m not sure I can think of a better case to illustrate the yin and yang of luck than that. “You have AIDS! Now you have Cancer! Now you need a marrow transplant! Now you’re sick and might die! Oh wait you lived and don’t have AIDS or cancer anymore and oh, you’re probably no longer a carrier for HIV either, since the new marrow killed it.”

     Also a good example as to why Biology was always one of my favorite subjects in school you can’t make this shit up!

   Things I do. I had a similar reaction when “Shamy” became official on The Big Bang Theory. Yay for overreacting to insignificant shit. I also refuse to grow up, despite the fact I have had sex.

    This is how people reacted when they learn that Heath Ledger is going to be the Joker. Also, Hugo Weaving is awesome as Megatron.

    Wow…I think I’m stuck in a perpetual stage 2. Either that, or I’m just a bloodthirsty freak.
