I saw this in theaters as well. I remember the day as I burned my hand on the stove and had to wear an ice pack to the movies. I would have been 6 or 7. I remember crying when Optimus died as well.

However, just watching the intro, holy shit there were some huge names in this. I knew Orson Wells was, but didn't know the other half dozen more that showed. Judd Nelson, Eric Idle, Leonard Nimoy, etc.

Oh yeah. See, all these movies take place in a
town called Shermer, in Illinois. And there's all
this fine bush running around, and we could kick
all the dudes' asses because they're all whiney
pussies. Except Judd Nelson - he was harsh. But
best of all, there was no one selling weed. So I
says to Silent Bob "Man, we could live phat if we
were the blunt-connection in Shermer, Illinois!"
So we collected some cash we were owed, and caught
a bus. But when we got here, you know what we found
Out? There is no Shermer in Illinois. What kind
of shit is that?! Fucking movies are bullshit!
