I was gonna have a dinner thing with someone, but that got rainchecked so I had to come up with something to do tonight. I wandered over my neighborhood Target (pronounced Tarjhei, hah!) and decided it was time to find some good DVD’s to watch.
And in that moment, a ghost from my television past came back and slapped me back and forth about the face. You know what I’m taking about.
That’s right. Transformers…ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!
I don’t remember seeing the original movie itself but I do remember the cartoon series and how much I loved watching it as a kid. I decided it was time to find out if I’d actually enjoy the old school cartoon animation and 80′s music assault.
I loved and worship at the feet of this movie. I felt like I was eight years old again jamming to the theme song that just gets me smiling all the time. The guitar riffs and the screaming words just sent chills down my spine. There’s something about echoes of your childhood that make for a good Sunday night viewing.
It also was hard watching Optimus Prime die. There are certain moments in which my emotions are touched. There’s a few episodes of “Firefly” that have done that. Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan hits me center mass. The Killing Fields. And Transformers.
Of course we have the new live action Transformers movie coming out July 4. And Peter Cullen returns as the voice of Optimus Prime. After watching this jam packed DVD I hunger for it even more.
I never got into Transformers. I was a Go-Bots fan. But you can never go wrong with giant robots changing into cool things.
The transforming sound effect…gets me everytime.
That and GI Joe.
what do you mean the dinner thing got rainchecked? good discussion for friday you think?
Possible. It’s something I’ve never had happen to me. We’ll discuss…:)
