Such a dork...
Feb. 24th, 2008 07:43 pmIt's sad that whenever I hear "Free Ride" or Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Higher Ground," the first thing I think of is the first Power Rangers movie.
Matt was watching tv in the other room, and I heard "Higher Ground," and had to wander out to see what he was watching. Of course, it wasn't MMPR:TM, it was, I think, Walking Tall. The Rock was playing football; six teenage color-coded superheroes weren't sky-diving.
It's sad that I watched that movie so much, I damn near wore out the VHS tape (and I was in college at the time). And when I found the DVD for $5, I snapped it up (even got the Turbo movie, even though I didn't like it as well).
MMPR: my first serious fandom. Soap operas don't count; it's too damn hard to write fanfic for them, because canon, continuity, and characters change too often.
Billy: my second serious fan-crush. I lose all geek-cred when I admit my first. It's too bad David Yost didn't age well (at all!).
