Myopic Thoughts

Today I got to watch my all-time favorite robots -  The Transformers.
On the big screen. For a  hundred and sixty pesos. At 12:01 in the
morning.

W-o-w. Two and a half hours of non-stop action and I still can’t get
enough ‘em! The movie just blew me away! Suffice it to say Michael Bay
and Steven Spielberg did a great job. The film surpassed all my
expectations. I’m not gonna give any spoilers, except for one. Watch
out for the Mountain Dew Vending Machine. hehe.

I just wanna say that it was marvelous the way they were able to blend
action and humor as seamlessly as possible. Two thumbs up!

As a kid of the 80’s, I grew up with these characters. I watched them
-these magnificent transforming robots - Optimus Prime and his noble
Autobots - versus Megatron and his evil Decepticons. Everyday, on
channel 9 I’d sit 2 feet away from the tv screen and watch them
fight it out for the fate of the universe (hence my myopic eye).
They’re awesome. They always were. Fictional characters like them have
a special place in my heart. Fictional characters like them bring out
the geek in me. Because for me, they symbolize every child’s gift - the
gift of imagination. These things keep me alive. And make me remember
what it was like to be a kid.

Truly, as the wise Optimus would often say:

"There’s more to us than meets the eye."

Autobots! Transform and roll out!!! ‘Til All Are ONE!!! Whoohoooooo!!!
