‘Til All Are One …’
I am very happy to report that I have nothing to report. My activities yesterday were pretty much relegated to the seated position, tho there was a bit of snacking here and there. I got a lot of my TV watchin’ accomplished yesterday and settled in to watch the original 1985 Transformers The Movie:
I make time every now and again to watch this amazing animated movie from my youth. I remember that Transformers The Movie was the first video I rented from a mom and pop video rental shop when we got our first VCR. I went with my dad and convinced him to let the video store give me my own rental card that allowed me to rent R-rated movies. It was quite a coup, one that my mother never knew about. Ah … memories. Anyways … truth be told, I still get a little choked up when I watch this movie. It was the first time that I heard swear words in a cartoon (shit, damn it and hell — in decreasing order of intensity) and was the first time I felt pangs of sadness (at the death of Optimus Prime) and validation (when Rodimus Prime defeated Unicron with the Autobot Matrix of Leadership) from an animated film. Yeah. Good times.
Other than that, tho, my day/night was very uneventful. I fell asleep before I could watch Battlestar Galactica (so no spoilers, please) … but I think I’ll save watching the new ep for later. I have more stuff to take care of today. Ah weekend, I do love thee.

I want to rent this!! I think I remember it when I was young. So many great cartoons from the 80’s. My fav being Thundercats! I prefer those graphics to the graphics of today when it comes to cartoons. They just seemed more real then, if that makes any kind of sense!

Awww, my boyfriend and I were watching this when we first kissed, about two years ago. It’s one of his favorites.

Great movie, I got the DVD the day they released it. The GI Joe animated flick was decent as well. Orson Welles was Unicron!!
