It's probably best we ignore Starblazer1989's inflammatory rhetoric and get back to the topic of Frank Welker.

Honestly this thread was getting pretty decent dialogue beforehand. And this thread hasn't gotten a Staff warning yet

On topic of this thread, who's Hugo Weaving anyway? Everyone here seems to know who he is and think he'd make a perfect Megatron. Why is that?

 

He was Agent Smith from The Matrix movies, the head Elf dude from Lord Of The Rings, and the voice of "V" in V For Vendetta. He's obviously done a LOT more than that, but those seem to be his main standout roles for current movie audiences.

Good actor, good voice... but sorry, he's no Megatron. Could be great as another Decepticon, though.

 

*hyperventilates*

 

Thanks, guess that's why I've never heard of him. I've never seen any of those movies you mentioned  

 

*Waits in anticipation*

Weaving would not be a bad choice as well, but I'm not sure how I would feel about his version considering I've only seen and heard him in the LOTR and in the Matrix movies (which IMO come off a bit too jaw-clenchingly stiff and authoritative at times).

But, I'll wait and see.

 

Hugo Weaving:
1 of the transvestites, don't remember which one (Priscilla, queen of the desert)
Agent Smith (the Matrix)
Elrond (Lord of the Rings)
V (V for Vendetta)

And likely much more, but that's what imdb.com is for, I wouldn't know off-hand.

Edit: Do I really type that slow?

 

Hugo is one of these lovely bloke's / sheila's:

 

Good idea.

I see why some of you guys get sick of the anti-movie people.

I hate the designs and think Bay is a complete and utter DB, but Starblazer is taking it a little too far.

It's only a movie homie.

 

You're not missing anything by not seeing the Matrix movies (worst.franchise.ever), but I think the LOTR trilogy & V For Vendetta are worth seeing at least once. If for nothing else than to see what all the hype was about.

 

Well honestly the LOTR books never interested me as I'm not a big Fantasy fan. And V for Vendetta, well honestly I have no reason for not seeing it other then simple lack of interest/indifference.

And I could've watched LOTR on CBC a few times, but I never bothered as there were other shows I prefered to watch  

 

The first Matrix is good. That's the one you should see ... the rest, not so much, though some of The Animatrix shorts are good.

The LOTR trilogy is a must see. Best trilogy ever. And this coming from a huge Vintage Star Wars fan. Just last weekend watched all three movies in their extended 4hours+ versions.... awesum!

V For Vendetta is a great movie ... though a tad below the level of Matrix and LOTR.

I'd rather watch the Matrix trilogy over LotR, IMO.

 

...ha ha ha... I wonder if Hugo Weaving will use his drag queen voice from "Priscilla Queen of the Desert"???

 

^^ You have an awesome username.  

 

Didn't actually try very hard, did they? Killing most of the cast and replacing them with new characters and futuristic type alt-modes.

Whereas these days Hasbro are quite clued-up about releasing different versions of the same character, reusing the same basic characterisations/names ad infinitum, etc.

 

my other pick woulda been michael wincott who played top dollar in the crow
he has the rough voice

 

I mean they might as well sign him on. It would be nice to have both the classic voices in the movie.

 

I agree. While I do like LOTR, the Matrix movies always seemed to provide more of an intellectual side, as well as being more visually interesting.

And V for Vendetta is an excellent film all around. A little, how shall we say, lacking on subtlety when it came to its message, but still very powerful.

 

I think I'm still one of the only people (that I know of) who thought The Matrix was a horrible pile of steaming **** riddled with bad writing that a ******ed chimp could trump, every predictable cyber-themed cliche you can think of, a plot that could have been taken right from an 80's kids cartoon, and some of the worst acting ever caught on camera.

Between way gay computer related names like Neo, Morpheus, Mouse, Switch, "The One", The Oracle, etc., the constant wearing of "cool" sunglasses even in dark rooms, the overdone black shiney latex & leather to really get across that this is an "alternative" movie full of cyber geeks who apparently like Rob Zombie, Trinity who basically looked like an 40 year old she-male (sorry but that woman is anything but hot, even in rubber), Morpheus' armless stick-on nose sunglasses, the people farms, The Sentinals, the Sleeping Beauty kiss complete with sparks & explosions, Neo *flying* like Super-Man, and the constant cell phone product placement, I was shocked this movie ever made it to mainstream theaters, let alone got a cult following AND two sequels. No offence to anyone who DID enjoy the movie(s).

Then again, I also think Blade Runner is one of the most over-rated movies of all time *ducks for cover*, so obviously I'm missing something where cyber themed dystopian visions of the future are concerned. Meh.

Anyhoo... back on topic. Frank Welker almost confirmed... woot!
