TRANSFORMERS GET

I liked the Transformers movie so much, i bought the toys! Got Optimus Prime and Barricade.

Review of the Optimus Prime figure here.

I got Barricade because he was fucking badass in the movie. Closer look at the Prime figure here. Would’ve been awesome if they were die-cast metal. But oh well, plastic Prime and Barricade for now.

Maybe the Japanese edition of these toys will be die-cast. Which, in that case, i’ll just sell off these plastic ones and get the metal ones.

I leave you with this hilarious video of Optimus Prime’s rude awakening:

I’M GOING TO TEH MOVIEHS

I got a ticket to see Transformers tonight. Huzzah!

Would’ve gotten one more ticket for my fiancée but can you believe it she DOESN’T WANT TO WATCH what’s only like, THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF THE SUMMER. She flat out refused. Says she was never interested in Transformers or giant robots. I said “But there’s human drama in there too!!!” Still didn’t want to. She sucks so much.

Managed to get her to go see Die Hard 4.0 with me though. Hence the two tickets. But that’ll be tomorrow night. Tonight, it’s Transformers!

Anybody who’s seen these two movies please post your thoughts in the comments.

ADRIANNA COSTA

What’s with all the online hating on Adrianna Costa?? I don’t get it!

I think she’s pretty hot. Anybody here watch FOX’s On The Lot?

I just started watching the show and made some screencaps Adrianna’s glorious cleavage from episode six. She almost sorta looks like Scarlett Johansson in some of these shots. And she actually sorta sounds like her too (if you’ve seen the show). I think she used to be on CNN or something as an entertainment reporter.

I don’t see how people can think she’s a bad host or anything. But then again, i only started watching On The Lot starting from episode six and was concentrating on her cleavage more than i was her hosting skills.

I don’t care what they say. She’s hot and i’d totally hit it.

SiCKO

So i downloaded Michael Moore’s new documentary, SiCKO last night. It’s okay. Michael Moore doesn’t mind if you pirate his films (i read that somewhere). I really suggest watching it even if you’re a Moore hater. I’d even go so far as to suggest paying to see this film! I would’ve if i could! Just like i did when i paid to see Fahrenheit 9/11 on opening day (the Bush protestors handing out anti-Bush fliers outside the cineplex made it a pretty memorable day), but local cinemas here don’t screen documentaries. Dumb.

So anyway, here’s my verdict up front: SiCKO is excellent!!

Watching this movie reminded me of a toothache i once had during my last semester in college back in Michigan. It was a fucking killer. I never really knew how bad American healthcare was until i watched SiCKO. I remember being medically insured so i don’t know if i would’ve been charged if i were to had gotten my tooth pulled out while i was still there. But IF i wasn’t insured… would i have been charged? Do you guys pay like huge medical bills for dental work? I don’t really know how things work over there but from what i’ve seen in SiCKO, with that 9/11 rescue worker, suffering from respitory problems; not being able to afford to buy a $120 ventolin inhaler type thing ($120!!!!) and then being able to get it from a Cuban pharmacy in Cuba for 5 cents, i can’t imagine how much i would’ve had to pay to get a tooth pulled out.

I eventually waited till i got back home to Brunei after i graduated before i got it extracted. It was a wisdom tooth if recall correctly. Lived with the on and off pain for probably a month or two. Could’ve probably gotten it out there and then back in Michigan. But was too lazy/uncertain about how to go about it. But regardless of all that, point being: the total amount of money i had to spend to get it extracted in Brunei?

BN$1

That’s US$0.65

65 cents

But with what little idea i have about how HMO’s work in the US, and having never been really sick or in need of anything more than advil or tylenol to cure anything while i was there, and not knowing if HMO’s have anything to do with dental care, but damn… getting hit with medical bills for hundreds, even thousands of dollars just for health care?

Coming from a country where you pay $1 to see a doctor and get whatever meds you need prescribed to you… the American health care system just seems sick.

Get well soon.

JESSICA ALBA IS DUMB

But gets SOME points for actually owning a DS.

I had my DS on the set of Fantastic Four and I bought it for my entire cast when we wrapped. I guess I just felt bad because between takes they’d be chatting and we were in the Fantasticar and I’d always have my iPod and my DS with me. It was like fingernail-biting, gripping moments in the movie and then, “Cut!” I’d pick up my DS and try to beat my 82 age in Brain Age. I’d try to memorize all of those damn words.

HAHAHA. An 82 in Brain Age? What a dumb shit.

My personal best was 20 (the lower the score, the better, and 20 is the best score possible). Not only is Jessica Alba dumb, but she also fails at videogames.

Speaking of Brain Training games, anybody here have Big Brain Academy Wii Degree yet? Add me to your friends list and lets trade student records over WiiConnect24!!!


Evans = HOT. Alba = NOT.
