I just don't really care for most of the moviess themselves - but then again, I guess I don't see many of them...Oh well, you reach a point where you need to make some decisions about what you think you'll like - I can't see everything, so I focus on what appeals to me topic and genre wise.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm a bit of a generalist, so that makes it tough sometimes...B-)Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-33543767704576093402009-07-09T13:03:11.482-05:002009-07-09T13:03:11.482-05:00Bob--

I played with both Transformers and GI Joe toys as a child, but never felt the nostalgia rush when the films were announced/came out. <br /><br /> I remember sitting with rapt attention during "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie," but I was around seven at the time. <br /><br /> I'm not at all dismissing anyone who awaits these movies and counts down the days, but I played with the toys, created my own little 'war' scenarios, and that was that. I wish I could remember the article, but when the first "Transformers" film came out, I read this amazing piece online regarding children in the 80s using the toys as a sort of distraction from broken homes, therefore increasing the fever pitch over the film.James Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318633423894546202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-4699680013819231002009-07-06T19:10:12.320-05:002009-07-06T19:10:12.320-05:00I did it for my fans.I did it for my fans.RHhttp://www.northernfrights.comnoreply@blogger.com
