To this day, only movie I’ve seen more than twice in a Movie Theatre. Saw it 4 times! Creepy costumes added to the allure.

My brother's and I still quote Suburban Commando before the second movie. "Lemme guess you're gonna pound my face"

thedailyvinyls OP t1_j5yyhaa wrote

I'll also say because of the second TMNT, it's why I'm always surprised when I see the movie 'Big Girls Don't Cry... They Get Even'. I'm always like "Oh? You mean 'Stepkids'?" The title of that movie changed between the trailer being on that tape, to it's time of release. I always wondered why it changed. 'Stepkids' was more straight and to the point.

I also got the same Christmas present in 1990. I remember not even knowing of the movie's existence, so it was a huge surprise.

I must have ruined that tape with the amount of times I watched it. on repeat I always had that one, some video of the Smurfs, and Muzzy teaching me English.

I watched THE CRAP out of that movie, and Tim Burton's Batman.

thedailyvinyls OP t1_j5yy1lo wrote

That was also my jam. When I was two, I guess I BEGGED my mom for "Batman shoes". By "Batman shoes", I guess they were specifically '89 Batman symbol Converse shoes, which were expensive to my parents. They tried showing me cheap pairs of shoes with Batman on them, and I had no interest in them. My mom, bless her heart, worked a lot of overtime hours before Christmas of '89 to specifically buy me those shoes.

I don't believe this movie ever was on a green cassette. I do have one that I've spoil swapped to be on green cassette, with blue cassette highlights, but I think it was only ever officially a black VHS tape.

I did too! Although I had the second film's soundtrack too, and I preferred that one. It not only had 'Ninja Rap' by Vanilla Ice, but the criminally underrated 'Awesome (You Are My Hero)' by Ya Kid K.

I never said your grammar hurt me. It was just a suggestion. Feel free to use words however you wish. Happy Thursday.

thedailyvinyls OP t1_j5yxe8c wrote

I'll apologize for the sarcasm that I chose to use when I woke up at 4:30 this morning and saw your comment. I may have misinterpreted the motive/context behind your words. Unfortunately, the internet has done that to me over the years. It's hard to interpret context sometimes, and what was probably just a harmless statement to educate on the correct usage of the word, came across to me at the time as a bitter statement. A statement that made me feel like you were possibly elevating yourself above me for knowing my mistake and pointing it out. I did see how you initially responded to my response before I was able to reply. I do want to say thank you for rewording your thoughts, and typing a more thought out and humanly statement. We make mistakes. While I made one grammatically, I also made one in quick judgment of context. Hope you have a great Thursday as well!

Your reply is much appreciated. I come from a long line of grammar snobs and sometimes it's challenging to step back. Regardless, your photo is wonderful.

thedailyvinyls OP t1_j606pw4 wrote

Honestly, I get it. I still cringe when I see other people use the wrong usage of your/you're, or there/their/they're. To be fair, I typically call that stuff out too. Basic grade school education stuff. I guess the issue with 'me vs. myself' thing, was that in my caption, it didn't feel incorrect or confusing, even if it was wrong. I think this is why I was irritated with the correction by you initially. Looking it up, I was honestly still slightly confused about the usage of it. English is honestly such a strange language. There are often so many rules, and so many variations of a word. I can't even begin to comprehend how hard it must be for someone to learn English as a second language. Anyway, I appreciate the response back and thanks for the compliment. It's refreshing to step back a moment, not let feelings overcome oneself, and actually talk something out with someone over the internet for a change.
