I KNOW. It’s crazy and creepy. The transition is so smooth it seems unreal (except that the guy in the background ruins all the consistency established). But then again, if it’s Citizen Kane it can be possible.

He’s not happy, that’s for sure. He has decided that his lame, talentless second wife, the prototypical “trophy wife,” will be an opera star, because he needs her to be a success at something more than just being pretty and vapid. So he has built an opera house to give her an opportunity to sing (as no self-respecting opera company would have dared cast her). She has just finished a pitiful aria, and reaction from the rest of the audience ranges from desultory to disgusted. He claps like a man grimly committed to ignoring a reality he is too perceptive to deny. He is used to making things happen sheerly by force of will.

That is to say, I concur with the maniacal clapping man that Hipuks is a goofball.

your sig gave it away, but yes I knew the answer anyway. He was the voice of Unicron in Transformers: The Movie, the original animated one, not that stupid live-action Michael Bay thing with Shia LeBouef and the aptly-named Megan Fox. It remains the saddest movie I’ve ever seen. I still can’t watch it again, to this day. I can even name the Autobots we see killed in it, in order: Brawn, Ratchet, Prowl, Ironhide, Windcharger, Wheeljack, and of course, Optimus Prime.

I don’t think they ever showed any Decepticon officially buy it, except for Starscream, and he didn’t count because Galvatron, one of his own kind, did the deed.

Ahem.

For the record!

I live with my ex-boyfriend (not -husband, although -husband still lives in Austin and we are pals EVEN THOUGH he cares not for hoops, which, obviously, is the reason we were divorced), who not only is a Spurs fan, but works for the Spurs (freelance camera and tape truck, usually on visitors’ feed).

I “see” a Lakers fan. Every once in a while.

Now that I’ve overshared yet again, you’re welcome. Y’all too, LatinD and CMoney!
