I'm old enough to remember retro the first time around

Transformers / More than meets the eye / Autobots wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons....

If you're singing along, guess what?  You're old enough to be retro too!  I'm sure you logged into myspace and saw the ad for the new movie.  Let me just say: I AM SO THERE!!!   I saw the preview and it looks amazing.  I'm taking my son for two reasons.  1) I think he'd enjoy it.  2) I don't want to look like a geek sitting there by myself.  But if the kid chooses not to go, I'm not above going solo.

ok, ok...one more!

Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!

That's too much fun.  I still have all the dialogue memorized to the first three movies.  (Thanks, Michael Alex and I went and saw TMNT.  Not bad...gotta love Patrick Stewart as Max Winters.  I was singing the theme song to the original cartoon on our way into the theater and my son was impressed.  He wanted to learn it and asked where I heard it.  I proudly explained that the Turtles first came out when *I* was a kid.  Then my heart sank a little as he asked, ""Was it in color?""  Darn kid.  Guess that's the price of getting old, but still I say:  I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!
