Throwback Thursday Surprise!
The highly-anticipated trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was recently released to the world and it undoubtedly showcases a modern generation of reptilian ninjas that are ready to continue the incredible legacy of its cartoon and live-action descendants.
Thankfully, my nephew will go with me to the movie theater later this year to watch this awesome reboot. What’s perfect is that he is right around the same age I was when I saw the original three live-action movies at the theater.
Even cooler than the trailer is the look on his face when he watches the old movies, the old and new television shows and when he plays with his new turtle toys and my old turtle toys.
Cowabunga indeed!
‘in all the towns, in all the world’
As members of my family travel through and experience cultural staples of a few European capitals this week, their final destination abroad is one that truly seems out of this world (regardless of its definitive realness). For a short time, they will enjoy the eternally nostalgic city of Casablanca, Morocco. If you’ve seen the entire 1942 classic, or even just a scene or two, it’s mesmerizing and seductive for all the right reasons: the setting, plot, characters and that unforgettable airport runway.
Since today is Thursday, it’s only appropriate that the adventurous trailer of that masterpiece from the golden age of Hollywood be shown in connection with their journey.
“Here’s looking at you, Throwback Thursday.”
Playing “Hyde” and Seek for That ’70s Throwback
Thursdays have become known as “Throwback Thursdays.” However, I’m not sure when this decision was officially signed into popular culture law? Regardless, it provides plenty of fun alliteration word games and flashbacks to the past.
Danny Masterson (“Hyde” on That ’70s Show) was born on March 13, 1976. Here’s a bit of a mind-bender: Aside from Danny Masterson being born on March 13th, the following video clip is a flashback to a popular sitcom no longer in production that features a flashback of how two adult characters from the 1970s (“Hyde” and “Eric”) met as children in the 1960s. It also ends with a throwback to something we all did when we were that young (usually alone, but still).
Yes, this is happening.
Happy Birthday to one of our favorite sitcom hippies on this Throwback Thursday!
P.S. Have you heard about this car that runs on water?
The Best Way to ‘Survive’
Sometimes, we need to mix things up a little bit and drop a few beats (and moves) of fun randomness into our lives. Thursdays have come to be known as much more than just the day before Friday, but as a celebration of nostalgia.
Ladies and gentlemen, with everything going on in our day-to day jobs and lives, here is a throwback of awesomeness on this beautiful Thursday.
It’s okay if you’re afraid to watch what’s in the video clip below…but hopefully only at first…
Happy Throwback Thursday!
