When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.

Here's the thing. I don't get it when "creatives" take any property with an existing fanbase and make a project with alterations sufficient to a) piss off said fanbase and b) make one wonder why the "creatives" didn't just create their own, completely different thing. Like, I don't get it from a business standpoint, even. If you're banking on brand recognition, why make the brand less recognizable than necessary?

Again, though (debating myself here): if Bay had just made a big, dumb movie about random robots fighting, people probably still would've swarmed to see it, and the studio wouldn't have owed a dime to the Transformers rights-holders.

- remember how aweseome Casey Jones was in the movie? I had such a crush on him
I vividly recall a friend introducing me to the (second-gen, kiddie friendly) TMNT comics.He basically turned into Milhouse. "It's great -- these turtles are really kickass at ninja-fighting and they have a mentor who's a rat and they eat pizza ALL THE TIME!"
Why on earth was April O'Neil's always dressed in a yellow jumpsuit anyways? Wasn't she a journalist?(Uh, oh my -- image-googlers be warned: turns out there's a pornographer by that name. Not to mention that a lot of people apparently have felt the urge to draw her being banged by the teenage mutant herpes turtles)
― Øystein, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 22:56 (1 year ago) Permalink
I think April wore that cos she was so sexy they had to put her in the least flattering costume ever. And she was still bangin'.
I discovered TMNT one day in Elementary school when some kid had a bunch of action figures. The first two movies are really fun to watch. The first one, in particular, is pretty dark and gritty. The cartoon was a staple of my Sat. mornings and the arcade games are some of the coolest licensed games ever.
The CGI movie was pretty fun, good times. Don't understand why they are going live action rather than CGI cos frankly you can't top the turtles from the first movie.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 23:04 (1 year ago) Permalink
Also someone who think Bay is sodomizing the franchise must not be aware of "Ninja Rap", the third film, the TV show with the lady ninja turtle, or the Coming Out Of Their Shells musical tour.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 23:06 (1 year ago) Permalink
One other point about the upcoming movie: the OG creators were never sticklers about cross-media (or even cross-book) continuity. Like, there are easily a half dozen variants of the origin story, for example. But none of those veered as far afield as Bay's proposed vision.
Also, for those who didn't know, the TMNT are owned by Nickelodeon now, not Eastman & Laird. Which may go some way towards explaining why (wrt this particular instance, anyway) Bay just don't give a fuck.

Ninja Turtles, cartoon on, was never a high-quality piece of thoughtful entertainment (I never read the original comics of it). It's really irritating to me that kids are being marketed the same things their parents were 20-30 years ago. Maybe this trend's gone on for a long time but I never noticed it.

Well, in the early Mirage issues, our band of turtle warriors were much more faithful in their adherence to the ancient art of ninjitsu, but in subsequent appearances, they simply employed a number of martial arts techniques against their increasingly-bizarre rogues gallery, without much of an attempt at achieving or maintaining ninjitsu's trademark aura of invisibility. If I were given the opportunity to speak to the foursome, I would ask them to reconsider the cavalier usage of the word 'ninja' in their self-styled nomenclature.

I've had a few people on Facebook going absolutely bonkers over this (in a bad way), and it's crazy. The last TMNT movie got awful reviews and the franchise has always been commercial as hell so what's the problem?

It's got great music, absolutely horrible controls. If you lose Donatello/Leonardo you may as well hit reset.

― Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Friday, 23 March 2012 23:14 (1 year ago) Permalink
the other levels were nearly impossible - i never did beat the final tower, even using the warps to get there. but the speeder stage could be memorized and doable if you did it a million times. i probably still have it committed to muscle memory, considering how many times i died over and over again. i vaguely remember pausing a lot, training to learn the placement of the blocks and such
now the snake and unicycle levels, forget it.. i think i maybe beat them once ever, if that

Gah I was not patient enough for World 7; I think it was 7-1, with the undergrouynd pipe maze that sent you all the way back down to the bottom w/ one wrong move. It was such a pain in the ass and the level with its utilitarian 'black background and shitloads of pipe' aesthetic just didn't reward the ton of time I inevitably spent there. Pipe world just too draining...
World 6, the ice world, was even worse, bcz you couldn't maneuver for shit, but for some reason I loved the idea of ice world, so I tried to hang with it as long as I could before being o'ertaken with despair and double warping to level 8...

Since the character in the movie are alien life forms, they can't really be "turtles", can they? And since they come from another planet, which presumably doesn't have a perfect equivalent of Japan and Japanese culture, they can't be "ninjas" either. So logically the new movie should be called Aliens.

Paramount marketing changed the name. They made the title simple. The characters you all remember are exactly the same, and yes they still act like teenagers. Everything you remember, why you liked the characters, is in the movie. This script is being developed by two very smart writers, with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles. They care VERY MUCH about making this film for the fans. Everyone on this team cares about the fans. Just give them a chance. Jonathan the director, is a major fan of the whole franchise. HE'S NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN.

Irony free over here.
Didn't know about the aliens and dropping of Teenage from the story and title. Feel like it's too late for me to get angry. Still ordering pizza tonite

Yeah, pizzas are too cheesy. They're going to be eating something more grounded.

You had a cameo in the second Ninja Turtles film in the '90s. Would you consider appearing on the soundtrack for Michael Bay's Turtles reboot?
I hope so. I don't have anything in writing, but you never know (lifts his pant leg to reveal a Ninja Turtles tattoo). I'm a Turtle fan.

The Hollywood Reporter has broken word that the upcoming, live action, big screen reboot of the popular characters has been shut down, with Paramount pulling the plug and laying off the Vancouver based staff who had already been hard at work on pre-production. At issue, apparently, is a script that the studio had no confidence in.

re: that Vanilla Ice cameo in that second movie
In middle school, some sort of schoolyard fight broke (though I don't recall it getting too violent -- may have just been an intense showdown) and I led a chant of "Go Ninja, go Ninja, Go!" that caught on with the group that was circled around watching the fight.

they should have wes anderson do a reboot faithful to the comic book's origin story
anderson is holding out for directing a "Peanuts" movie but first he's gotta prove he has the chops to direct comic books movies.

The more worrying thing is the idea that for all other Michael Bay films, there was a script that the studio did have confidence in....

Bay prob didn't articulate that you can tell the turtles apart by which color headbands its wearing, thus children will, indeed, need to buy four different turtle toys at every opportunity

ha... well, I mean in comparison to say, the car stuff in Transformers or Bad Boys, much better sponsorships than Hasbro
― Nhex, Saturday, 16 June 2012 19:24 (11 months ago) Permalink
True, although the piazza sponsorship deal could be huge. Ive dedicated my diet to pizza probably because of the turtles.

Piazza sponsorship to say nothing of the piazza deal.
