I kind of get what you mean. I was never trying to be rude to David or get him annoyed. I would only aggravate a situation if he was rude to me first and that was only sometimes. I certainly didn't insult him with stuff like "reading comprehension difficulties", a polite way of calling me a ret*rd since he isn't aware I'm dyslexic. I have social anxiety so I find it easier to approach people on the Internet than in real life. I did force myself to go talk to Lance Guest at Lf&CC this year. Didn't know what to expect. He's a really chillout out guy, easily distracted but very formal and chill. I didn't talk to him about The Last Starfighter, I talked to him about Jaws IV which led him to ask me questions about Jaws II. I kind of saw him get more distracted so I said goodbye and left but as you say you never know from person to person. I guess over social media it's more difficult to more difficult to put your true self across maybe therefore miscommunication is more possible?

I know that this'll be considered a weird question, but-

Why don't the Turtles have lips?

The thought of them having visible lips is so weird. Only instance I think I remember them having lips was in the PD films but I haven't seen those in a long time so I can't recall.

Its the Same with many other characters in cartoons/graphic novels who don't have visible lips in their designs even if they have lips logically.

Shredder could've done more than blow up the Channel Six building. I don't mean as far as murdering Splinter, but think of the possibilities if censors were not an issue.

Shredder and Krang combined had the biggest arsenal of any villains in all of the cartoons.

Because it's a cartoon? And male characters don't tend to be given lips if they aren't human? (And not even always when human.) Not to mention the reptile thing.

I can see why PD needed to make them feel like believable organic characters when they do have many human-like qualities, but when it comes to lips they should have made them thinner for sure. As narrow as possible while still being believable.

What I think is going through the IDW staff's heads while we're wildly discussing things that haven't happened yet

The only real down side to these shows and films being computer done and output digitally... collectable film and animation cells just aren't a thing anymore.

There's still a lot of animation being done by hand; it's just inked and colored digitally. Which is a different situation entirely, but similar enough.

Steven Universe is one such example.

Yep, get them while they're hot because no doubt those ebay prices will rise faster than the new cartoon.

So I was watching Shrek and I started laughing at it for the wrong reasons. Because all I could think was:


TMNT IDW 75:


TMNT IDW 85:


I guess I've come to terms???

Interesting comparison indeed, though admittedly, I never watched anything after Shrek 2.

It was from the 4D ride at Universal, I think. Which also had a special DVD release. Which is how I saw it.

That tends to happen when I've watched Shrek in the past.

So as it turns out, though Biggs was fired from Nick and TMNT, it seems that maybe it actually did him some good in the long run and helped him finally grow the hell up a bit and clean up his life. Better late (or before too late) than never. Kudos to him.

Spoiler:
Jason Biggs On Being Fired From A Job Over His Tasteless Tweets: ‘It Really F*cked Me Up’

Dustin Rowles
Entertainment Features
12.16.18

American Pie and Orange is the New Black star Jason Biggs is no stranger to controversy when it comes to Twitter. Several years ago, he caught flack for tweeting about a dead Bachelorette contestant and also made a bad Malaysian Airlines joke a few years back only an hour after one of their planes crashed (he subsequently had a meltdown over the backlash and was eventually forced to apologize).

What many may not not realize, however, is that it Jason Biggs’ tasteless tweets eventually got him fired from a job, which has had the effect of changing the way he’s tweeted since (he actually spends more time on Instagram these days). “I got in trouble [on Twitter] a lot,” he said during this week’s live episode of The Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard. “And I took the stance for a long time of, like, ‘whatever, f**k you, I’m not doing anything wrong. And mind you, this sort of coincided with my last years of drinking [Biggs is now sober.] My brain was pickled, and I definitely had a sort of combative side to me that I think the booze and drugs obviously” exacerbated the problem.

“I was let go from a job,” Biggs confessed. “It was for real. I’m fine with it now, but I think it really f**ked me up. And for awhile, initially, I didn’t think I did anything wrong … but the truth of the matter is, I f**king did it … it f**ked me up.”

The job his Twitter antics cost him was not Orange is the New Black (he really did leave that show because his character no longer fit in the show’s plans). The job he lost was on Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where he voiced Leonardo (he was replaced by Seth Green). Basically, it was a series of tweets that cost him a job he’d had for several years — one about the Pope, the Malaysian airlines one, and one about doing something obscene to Paul Ryan’s wife, among others.

“It was enough to get a lot of people calling Nickelodeon … I knew they weren’t thrilled with them. That should’ve been enough. It wasn’t. I tweeted more. I doubled down, and they were like, ‘We can’t do this anymore. Our phone is literally ringing off the hook.” So, Nickelodeon fired him.

“It really traumatized me,” Biggs told Shepard, though he admitted that, in the long run, “it was a really good thing” because he realized he needed to stop being provocative on Twitter if he wanted to continue his career. Around the same time, Biggs also decided — after his wife, Jenny Mollen, got pregnant with their first child — that he also had to get sober, because the alcohol and cocaine (among other drugs) had gotten to be a problem for the actor.

Biggs was mostly recently seen in the VOD satire Dear Dictator starring Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, and the man who replaced him on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Seth Green.

Ahhhh, THAT old song and dance. "It was alcohol and drugs! They made me act like an asshole! I definitely wasn't an asshole to begin with, and the choice to be a substance abuser merely evidence of that fact!"

Nothing of value was lost. Guy's a talentless hack, Then, Now, & Forever. The fact they had this moron voicing my favorite TMNT character was a big reason I avoided that show.

Michelangelo can finally legally own this nunchucks in New York.

It's kind of funny that it came about because an attorney of all people had been arrested in 2000 for owning them. But at least he was just the guy to be able to try to change the law.

The Turtles are probably outlaws by definition already, so carrying a pair of nunchucks should be the least of Michelangelo's concerns.

I have a small question about rope darts. In a scenario where this is maybe someone's main weapon, how the heck would a character hold it while its not in use? Like for the turtles every weapon can be tucked into their belt or scabbard. But how do you set aside a long coil of rope when you're not using it to fight?



Sorry this vid only has sound on the left side for headphones.
