#generational fandom

[krochetki1208]

I watched the re-release of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2:SECRET OF THE OOZE for the 35th anniversary today and I learned three things

1) it’s SO much better on the big screen. Like infinitely better. I’ve only seen this movie on my tv screen and phone like 38 times but those 38 times pales in comparison to the one time on the big screen.

2) turtle fandom is really for everyone. The fact that at this point that it’s a generational fandom is something beautiful.

And 3.) GOD I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!!!!!!🐢

If you have the means and love the TMNT please do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s from the 13th to the 19th in most theaters.

I don’t mind feeling old it just means that I can share old things with young people

Star Wars love

My daughter and I saw The Last Jedi for the tenth time tonight, at a nice IMAX theater in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. It's six weeks since the premiere, but the house was full. Settling into our seats, I noted that there were lots of kids in the audience, and I acknowledged the possibility for restive youngsters during the screening.

As the opening crawl unfurled, A dad sitting next to me leaned towards his little boy and I could hear him whispering the words to his son. Later, when Admiral Holdo jumped the Raddus to light speed through Snoke's ship, the entire theater held its breath in perfectly silent, rapt attention.

I love Star Wars.

I love reading tags, some of the best commentary is hidden in there. Insightful stuff, touching stuff, pure rage distilled into a pithy couple of words. It’s awesome.

Some tags really make me laugh, though. I mean that with love, but I do find them hilarious.

Like, I’m from the LJ generation of fans, and so to me, any meta less than ~2k is short, 5k is starting to get long, and over 10k is serious meta.

Here on tumblr, stuff gets tagged as “long post” if it’s over three paragraphs, and god, it just cracks me up every time. Long post! Hahahaha.

Found this while sweeping up; my daughter's notes made during one of our 8 screenings of The Last Jedi. Her movie-theater scribbles are more legible than mine! Not sure what her plans are with these, but I'm a proud Reylo Mom.

So, over the weekend, Dad and I went digging in boxes of my mom's old comics to see if we had anything that might be of value and I discovered that my mother collected Sub-Mariner 1 through 47.
