I’m totally behind Haysbert as Prime though. A little electronic tweaking and he could be perfect. How about Michael Dorn too. He has a ’stong’ voice.

:-)

Getting back to the subject for a second, i’m by no means a purist (i’m not even a huge Transformers fan but i am looking forward to this movie more than anything else next year including Spidey 3 and the Simpsons movie). I’m not going to throw a hissy fit if Prime is not red and blue in the right places but i will be dissapointed if Cullen hasn’t gotten the part. He just is that character, there’s no question about it. I’m sure he can still do the voice well enough. On the other hand, maybe they have redesigned the character so drastically that Cullen’s voice no longer matches the Optimus of this film.

In any case, what i’m most excited about is that if the film is a box office powerhouse, we could be seeing the start of a whole slew of 80’s cartoons coming to the big screen. I wanna see He-Man (er, again cause they did make the one with Dolph Lundgren), Thundercats, COPS, G.I.JOE (that one is coming, i just know it), Silverhawks, even friggin Jem.

Remember on “aint it cool news” when you could click on a name in the messageboards and it would go straight through to that persons e mail and you could email people?

well I once put up a message about transformers ages and ages ago saying how good it was don murphy was producing this and hopefully it turns out as good as the last piece of shit he produced league of gentlemen.

the next day I had 3 e mails from don murphy calling me a number of things. a loser, a faggot all sorts of stuff. telling me he was having brunch with lee tamahori and they were talking about what a loser i was. (????? very strange)

I thought it was very weird and thought no way would it be the real guy so I replied to him saying “good on you you fucking weirdo” thinking no way can this be the real guy. He replied in turn and mentioned lee tamahori again and told me that i live in my mothers basement.

Why he was so obsessed with telling me about lee tamahori I will never know. But after what happened to lee tamahori last year perhaps isn’t wasn’t brunch they were having. well someone might have been eating something but I don’t think it was french toast.

Then I go onto the chud boards and see don murphy is there abusing and attacking anyone who hates his films. saying the exact same things he said to me. I thought it couldn’t be could it? So I sent an e mail to the guys from AICN to ask about it and as it turns out yes it was don murphy. He is famous for it. He trawls movie website message boards and if anyone dislikes his films he attacks them. He did it to the AICN guys….the chud guys…him and devin had a huge fight…it is still there on the chud boards somewhere. very funny. he teamed up with these other guys who started a website called scorched earth or something and they sent bogus stories to aicn to try and fuck with. they were really after moriarity as he gave murphy films bad reviews…I don’t know why the scorched earth guys hated him but they teamed up with murphy. then don murphy denied he knew them when they turned out to be a bunch of racists. On their site they started putting up articles about “ni##ers” being the scum of the earth etc etc. He quickly denied knowing anything about them.

This is all completely true as weird as it sounds. He is completely insane.
