My mom showed The Shredder Strikes back VHS in class...

Lone Wolf · 12-18-2003, 06:54 PM

Yesterday, because it was close to Winter Break, my mom (a middle school teacher) promised to show the kids a video if they were quiet and got all their work done. (The public school system, what can I say?)

The class was like 75% girls; when she pulled out the tape, a lot of the kids recognized the turtles and were like "No way Miss, that stuff is for kids!"

When she popped in the tape, she said the kids were never so quiet in the whole time she had been teaching there (going on 3 years now). They laughed at all the jokes and really got into it. When the first episode ended the kids were like " Miss now we're never gonna see part 2!" She said they were very upset, but she just told them it was coming up. The kids were making comments like "damn!" every time something heavy happened.

Today when they walked into class they asked if they could watch Turtles again. She said they were all commenting how the Turtles all sounded so different and seemed so much more "mature" (most of the girls said that). She said she would ask if her son (me) would lend her more tapes.

She showed Pirates of the Caribbean today and said the kids were bored out of their mind. Go figure.

Dude, your mother is awesome.

Our middle school teachers forced us to watch Rudy. D'oh! I hate sports movies.

Are you gonna lend her your tapes? We need to get more people buying the products!

How ironic...what a fun movie.

But anyhow, score one for the Turtles!

I believe I speak for everyone when I say:
"The turtles are making a comeback! TURTLES ROCK!!!"

**Jo Dawn** · 12-18-2003, 10:42 PM

Yeah. That was really cool of your mom.

Another little thing to add: I saw my brother's high school newspaper, and they had a poll for the hot toys they wanted for Christmas this year. TMNT was up there on the wish list. I just thought that was cool.

In my High School, we watched Citizen Kane, 12 Angry Men, Shawshank Redemption, Austin Powers, a few Simpsons episodes and few Family Guy episodes. I miss High School.

*Drtooth* · 12-19-2003, 10:19 AM

I luck out... I have a lot of animation classes, andd the teachers bring really cool stuff in (stuff you'd never see in your life anywhere else, like animation from the Zagreb studio)

My first year, I brought in George of the Jungle (the cartoon of course) and the three Roger Rabbit animated shorts.

Everyone laughed and loved Roger, but everyone lesft after I showed George of the Jungle...

*Kid Icarus* · 12-19-2003, 10:31 AM

We gotta watch The Breakfast Club.... does that count? lol.

Thats cool though. We watched TMNT 3, then stopped that after they smashed aprils tape player, and switched to TMNT 2, in my Sci Fi lit class last year. Great times

*Deathknight* · 12-19-2003, 01:30 PM

I liked part 1 but whenever I watch part 2 I'm bored out of my mind, it was such a bad ep. The turtle's and Splinter's ninja fighting skills are heavily watered down into an endless combat battle that was rather boring. Shredder Strikes is infinitely superior IMO. Where people see greatness in part 2 of Strikes Back I'm missing. I'm not trying to be insulting to people who like it I just don't get it. The only part of part 2 I enjoyed was "Nice hats!"
