I Just Saw This Movie.

We had big plans for Saturday. We decided to watch Mission Impossible. And Mission Impossible 2. Then I bought Mission Impossible 3 and we watched it. Then we watched Anchorman. And then Aurthur. It was a rough day.

Anyway, that whole preface was just to credential myself when I give you a summary of MI:2 because you probably remember very little of the plot. Tom Cruise almost dies while free climbing in Arizona (damn.) and then crashes a Carrera in South America. They use the girl for bait to figure out what they're trying to do. Turns out that there is a super cure drug called Balerafont but the scientists created a super virus, Chimera, when they spliced some viruses together. The bad guys want to infect everyone and then sell the cure. A bunch of things blow up. You get pissed off when it turns out that everyone was wearing a mask and they destroy the virus in the end.

So now switch to the real world. Two Biotech companies are working on super vaccines that will combat any type of flu. They'll be ready for testing in 2007 (wait, that's this year) and can readily stockpile massive amounts. Anyone else feel like we're being set up?
