…to a home movie of my eldest being instructed in the Great Heroes and Villains of the Old Lore.
It’s never too early.

There is a certain logic…
…to their position*:
I feel the same way about Jerry Bruckheimer. Jerry knows what I want to see, and he uses the big ladle to dish it out. And that’s how it should be.

Movie of the week: …OK, so it’s the complete Transformers.
Specifically, the Transformers: 25th Anniversary Matrix Of Leadership Edition [The Complete Series]
So sue me. And watch as we switch out G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

I believe that you need to teach children the classics early.
Some might call it “indoctrination.”
Bah.

A Transformer… from archaic-tech robot to WWI-era biplane.
Don’t lie. You want this:
For the ‘kids,’ of course. It’s not available at Amazon
What? No, I don’t collect action figures. But it’s a an archaic-tech robot that transforms into a WWI biplane. I’d buy that.

Today is a very important day.
Specifically, a very important anniversary.
According to our best estimates, The Transformers #1 hit newsstands (back when they had newsstands!) on May 8, 1984. Exactly 25 years ago today. The cartoon pilot, “More than Meets the Eye, Part 1,” wasn’t due until September 17. There is a commercial which may predate the release of the first comic book on May 8, since it’s an advertisement for the “coming soon” comic book, but we don’t know of any concrete airdate. The toys were reportedly released some time during the summer. For all intents and purposes, May 8 is Transformers‘ birthday.
Yes, I am a heartless bastard.
