Cowabunga!

Heroes in a half shell, TURTLE POWER! Watched the TMNT film Out of the Shadows on Saturday. Was a pretty good film, good laughs all around, and the standard turtles addicted to pizza jokes. And of course having Megan Fox around just makes the show all the more interesting. 

Was watching a Youtube video from CinemaSins, and I couldn't agree more. For ninjas, they seem to make too much noise when moving around. What is with that ninja code of being swift and silent? Seems they didn't actually pay attention during ninja movement class.

But more to the point the movie was driving at. The turtles have been living in the shadows, and being the teenagers they are, they want to blend into the crowd, they want to get out of the shadows and into society. And I can kind of relate to how they feel. As a Sound man and a Bassist in a band, there are times when this becomes sort of a dilemma. You want to have that recognition for your work, you want your time in the spotlight as well. It just feels like the guitarists and the drummers get all the attention and all we get are nothing when we do our job well, but stares when we actually do mess up a little bit. 

Point learnt from the movie, just do your very best, give your life to what you believe in. People will eventually come to recognise your efforts. The spotlight is cool and all, but the most important is to believe that what you are doing is worth it. Cowabunga.
