7/19/2005 1:02:28 PM

hahahaha i saw the first one twice in a row at the movies when i was a kid...me and a couple friends just sat in the theater until it started again

damn i was young as fuck pullin that scheme

7/19/2005 1:06:24 PM

as long as casey jones is in it

7/19/2005 1:07:28 PM

When Raphael said "damn" - that shit was scandalous
To this day I've never waited in a line as long as the one to get tickets to see that movie.

7/19/2005 1:19:42 PM

i wonder if you folks will complain about it as much as all the other remakes that get bitched about

YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT MIAMI VICE AND NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS

See what you started, Mr. Lucas?

Am I the only one that isn't terribly impressed by even the best CGI?

7/19/2005 1:26:07 PM

^ i agree. and its not like the costumes they used in the first one were that bad. i'd much rather see it redone similar to that than a CGI production

7/19/2005 2:45:58 PM

I find costumed characters just as distracting as CGI characters, if not moreso. Most of the time the characters' eyes and fingers don't move at all and they have little to no subtlety in their movements.

7/19/2005 3:57:25 PM

the original turtles had lots of subtlety

7/19/2005 4:32:39 PM

i just wanna see rocksteady and bebop on the big screen with some actual foot soldiers. and please no vanilla ice this time around.

7/19/2005 4:46:24 PM

BOSSANOVA!!!
CHEVY NOVA?

7/19/2005 4:57:56 PM

hasn't this been in the works for a while now?

7/19/2005 5:04:01 PM

I think I'm just disgruntled b/c I used to act. I'll probably always prefer live action and clunky effects to CGI shit.

7/19/2005 5:29:26 PM

This is going to suuuuuuuuuuuck.

7/19/2005 5:54:17 PM

^yup^

Especially when you realize that the movie is based on the new TMNT, not the old.

Who am I kidding it is going to suck either way. Now the live action Transformers on the other hand.....

7/20/2005 8:39:40 AM

^ i know this is going to sound like sacrilege... and i can't even believe that i'm going to say it...

but the new turtles cartoons has better stories and would probably work better on the big screen than the old turtles cartoons...

and before you start whining about how awesome the first one was, i'll remind you that the second one was absolutely horrendous, and a large chunk of you have probably never even seen the third one

7/20/2005 8:47:12 AM

I liked the second Turtles movie.

ive never seen the third. I saw them in that stupid chinese crap and skipped it.

Super Shredder was worth the movie

7/20/2005 9:06:37 AM

The first TMNT cartoons were more comical in nature. The new cartoons are more action/violence oriented.

The first movie was OK.
The second was terrible.
No one knows about the third because no one that has seen the movie has lived to tell about it.

You know that the only reason they came out with a second and third movie was because they already had those costumes laying around had to put them to good (relative) use.

heres a question for folks posting in this thread

have you ever actually read the old gritty b&w comics?


hopefully thats what we'll wind up with...
thats what this project was originally going to be

but who knows

7/20/2005 9:39:40 AM

I own all 3 movies... and i liked them all. I had all the action figures....even beebop and rocksteady...
I took beebop and rocksteady to school one time (elementary school). I left them in my desk during recess and when i came back they were gone. I haven't seen them since.

7/20/2005 9:56:40 AM

I might just have to see a grittier tmnt.

And just pray I don't hear a single COWABUNGA during the entire movie.

I will never reveal how nerdy I can be. NEVER

The first movie was good, the second was alright, and the third was just about the worst movie I've ever seen (the worst was 2010: The Year We Make Contact).

7/20/2005 10:33:51 AM

i have your action figures, if you ever want to see them again leave $22.50 in unmarked bills and 4 dimes, 2 nickels in a tin-metal gi joe lunchbox, inside the thermos, underneath the monkey bars

i'll be waiting

thats a TMNT staple

7/20/2005 10:39:22 AM

Back when I collected the action figures, I thought it was stupid that the foot soldiers came 1 to a pack.. I always wanted a hundred or so, just like in the cartoon and movies.

7/20/2005 10:40:46 AM

^^which TMNT

7/20/2005 10:47:57 AM

Michaelangelo

THE TMNT that everyone grew up with. I dont care about the fucking comic book that 1 in 50 have read or that it came before. Thats no longer TMNT.

I am all for seeing a grittier TMNT movie, but to not have them say Cowabunga is retarded.

I read a graphic novel once ... I was really young and Raphael said damn a lot ... I thought I was so cool.

I think it was one of the Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird books

7/20/2005 11:59:15 AM

The stories in the new series are better, but I don't like the style.

As for the films, I loved both 1 and 2.

3 suuuuuuuucked.

7/20/2005 12:52:03 PM

The action figures for the third movie were pretty dope.

actually they used completely different costumes in the 3rd one for some reason. they looked much worse, more comical from what i remember.

7/20/2005 1:31:51 PM

I think colin farrel would make a good casey jones, cuz elias koteas is pretty old now and they look kinda similar. Also they should use micheal clarke duncan for rock steady and the deformed guy from the goonies for beebop.
