TIM AT TFE: YOU GOT THE TOUCH! YOU GOT THE POW-AH!

My weekly column at the Film Experience continues as ever, but I bring it up this time around since I know that at least some of you were hoping that I'd use the release of Michael Bay's Dinobot Thing to review Transformers: The Movie, the animated semi-classic from 1986. Well, you will be pleased to know, I have. Go, enjoy, discuss!

    I remember I had a poster of this movie on my wall as a child, I was six when the movie came out, but I always remember it.. That and the He-Man movie, which of course, they also want to remake!!

    I think I wasn't good at watching movies as a child. I dragged my poor father to see this movie twice, and all I remember--and, I'm pretty darned sure, all I got out of it at the time--was a confused blur of robotic limbs thrashing around the screen. I'm always half-skeptical when people assure me that, no, there was an actual story and actual characters and stuff. Maybe it's true, but since I'm obviously not going to see it again, there's just no way to know.

    Weird collisions in pop culture: I swear I read somewhere that Eric Idle was talked into taking a role in this by George Harrison, whose son was evidently enamored of the toys.

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.

Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
