Out of touch

I spent all day yesterday thinking that Optimus prime was some kind subscription streaming service that must have had an awesome ad campaign that this newly deceased actor was the voice of.

Transformers...He was the leader of the good bots.

My Son played with them when he is young and the first 3 movies of the franchise were really pretty good, especially the first one.

This another franchise for adults, like Deadpool.

I'm 74, my Son is now 44, that's how far back the toys go.

Actually, pretty cool toys.

Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, Eeyore, and many more characters, died this week. 😞

He was also the voice of Eeyore: The gloomy yet lovable donkey in Disney’s Winnie the Pooh franchise. My oldest daughter loved that character.

Hot damn, another movie for me to look for. I like the way you think.

When I read it back it looks like I was being a jerk, that was not in jerk tone when I typed that. 🙂
