People often look at me and think I'm nuts for thinking deeply about four green lovable mutant turtles, but I don't care. *smiles*
I remember the first time I saw the TMNT movie. I remember thinking "this is a real pile of ...." and I was being forced to watch it over at a friend's house. I was so bored, and so bummed out by the whole thing.
I had seen TMNT before on advertisements of course, it was nothing new. (Over here in the UK the 'ninja' part of the name had been taken off, and replaced with 'hero'. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. I think the reason being that people were trying to be ninja's and hitting themselves over the head with nunchuks. Hence every nunchuk scene was removed from movies for the next twenty years. Damn movie editing.)
That night I had a dream about the boys in green. I was jumping from rooftop to rooftop with them, and Leo in particular was helping me.
Nothing earth shattering, you might think. The next morning I was thoroughly hooked. Cutting out newspaper articles, magazine advertisements and anything I could get my hands on.
Looking back, I can see how strange this is ... how something that has had a profound effect on my childhood and even as an adult started from a dream about jumping around on rooftops with the turtles. LOL!
So, given my experience was, a little weird ... I'd like to ask everyone how you got into TMNT. Do you remember what happened to spark your interest?
Mark wished he had never showed me that movie. I made everyone play Turtles in the street until I turned sixteen. *grins*
Good times.
