The touch!

Seriously, there is a part where Optimus Prime is all bad ass and flying through the air and shooting things and it makes me giddy and yet sniffly all at the SAME TIME.

I am such a geek.

I need a Transformer icon of some sort.

You're a nobody's fooool

yep!

I have this full soundtrack of course. Little bit of trivia. In Boogie nights, this is the song that he releases as a single in his stint of a singing career.

I LOVE YOU OPTIMUS!!!!

Awesome. I have both the soundtrack, the score, and a CD that includes songs from the score played on piano.

[sepulchrave.livejournal.com]

oooh I'd love to hear the piano versions!

I think the CD is still for sale on Vince DiCola's website.

[jameel.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes, you do.

[theonlymegumegu.livejournal.com]

You know, I like the song better w/o the mullets XD

[theonlymegumegu.livejournal.com]

Dammit, what I *do* need is a copy of this movie though... wasn't there a recent anniversary release or something?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

There was a recent 20th anniversary release, yes.

[theonlymegumegu.livejournal.com]

I think I should snag that next time I make an order from DVD Empire... hmm, they show a release of 11/7/06. Anticipation!

You do, indeed, need a Transformers Icon.

All the cool kids have 'em.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

COBRAAAAAA!

*ahem*

It's my (rarely-seen) Eighties Nostalgia Icon.

Rarely seen because 99.9% of the Eighties was crap.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say /that/ much of it was crap.

[gamethyme.livejournal.com]

I would, but then I'm a cynic.

I love old TV shows, but even I admit how much of what I love is crap. Knight Rider is bad. The A-Team is bad. But I loved 'em.

I still use my NES, and love Legend of Zelda, but they're crap.

Let's not even get into the music thing ...

Y'know, you're not supposed to like the good guys once you grow up, everyone trumpets Starscream as being all cool, or Megatron as being 'sexy' or something, but fuck all y'all.

Optimus Prime is my goddamned hero.

I cried when he died. I flipped out when he came back.

I was in college, looking through some old folders of stuff I did in junior high. It included an enlarged photocopy of Optimus Prime from the Transformers Universe comics, which I'd colored in (color copies? HAH, 80s). Standing there, just looking all heroic.

I taped it to the front of my dorm room door.

I would come home after a long, arduous day, and I'd have Optimus Prime, standing there looking down at me.

"There is good in the world. Never forget it." He seemed to say.

Often a good pick-me-up.

So much so that he was the only thing I'd ever considered getting as a tattoo.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

No.

Screw that.

I love a well done sociopath. I love a great bad guy. I really love well done evil, I always have. (Not hand puppet evil, that sucks.)

However, there is something about a hero, a good hero that cannot be replaced in anyway. It just can't. Optimus Prime was one of thsoe guys that you could believe in. He was one of those heroes that WAS ACTUALLY A HERO. You know? He wasn't just the leader or that guy who happens to be there. Or the greatest cliche these days - the reluctant hero, that whiney guy who doesn't really want all of this power and responsbility.

Fuck that.

I want more heroes like Optimus.

[iceraver.livejournal.com]

I loved that part too. Made me sprinkle a bit from my eyes

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
