i liked the cartoonishly menacing minimalism of those pipe levels, all the black and green and space. i hated the cloud world tho the secrets in those levels were too punishing and unrewarding (all those finnick-y jumps!)
but i also really liked the snakeman levels of mega man

Ha its only recently (with a modded PSP that has most of the NES games on it that my sister had) that I've gotten the hang of any of the Mega Man games...

I spent a lot of time drawing my own World 7 pipe mazes as a kid but part of the thrill was just having mastered freestyling pictures of overlapping contoured tubes.

Next Week: Just ninja aliens but they're still green.
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.

Hoping someone will make a companion piece called Teenage Mutant. But I guess that's basically Toxic Avenger.
― Øystein, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 10:37 (fourteen years ago)
the comics and cartoons had so many levels of intergalactic and inter-dimensional travel, i could see the alien thing working even if its a departure from the origin story

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.

Look, it’s great that Eastman, the original cocreator, gets a say (and a paycheck!) in this latest blasphemization/reinvention. But, like, if Paul McCartney wanted to re-release The White Album with, say, a 14-minute Lil B verse on every song, the mass-mind wouldn’t be cool with that, either.

there's a certain espirit de corps or instant kinship that develops under conditions of shared suffering and i think a lot of people have chosen michael bay movies and star wars prequels to facilitate this.

The suits could now be a little cheesy in a modern setting. Yeah, yeah, I don't think we're going to go in that direction.
Yes, CGI ninja turtles are in no way cheesy.
