Countdown to the New Movie!

[Time Mistress]

I think it's time to start the official countdown thread dudes and dudettes! Only 30 days to go before it opens! I'M PSYCHED! How about you?

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

If I have to wait anymore, I'm gonna explode

[Buslady]

There, i created my countdown ticker. :D

[Kendamu]

http://www.playmatestoys.com/turtleshome/

Here's a countdown for you guys.

[Roseangelo]

I'm stupidly excited that Friday is the 23rd, marking one more month. (Even though it's less than 30 days because Feb is short.)

[cowabunga14]

I figure since this month is short, we won't have to wait as long for the movie. A month's worth of waiting isn't that bad.

[Hitsuji]

Oh, yeah! I've been counting the days since October!! Can't wait... although it'll arrive here a week later... >_<

[Cascadia]

a month will be here before you know it.

[Whitewolf89]

This is true.

And I'M stoked because my local theatre is only a few blocks from me (an EASY walk, IF I DO need to walk), AND, since I'm 50, and TECHNICALLY a senior citizen, I can take advantage of the Senior's admission, which is only $5.00! So my youngest niece, Ashley, and I ALREADY have a date for this.

[raphaelprime]

I've made 2 countdown clocks for posting on sites(ive got mine on myspace)

This 1st one is for 12am on the 23rd

I didnt know if to post these here or in a seperate thread, but im going to work on some pictures for backgrounds.

[Raph's Girl]

I can take advantage of the Senior's admission, which is only $5.00! So my youngest niece, Ashley, and I ALREADY have a date for this.

Well here it's $4.00 before Noon, $6.00 from Noon - 6pm, and then after that it's like $8...oi...so Im definatly gonna try to get to the first showing...which will probably be around 10am

And I too can easily walk to the theatre...but...I'll probably just get a ride... my mom goes to work around that time so I'll just get a ride from her. *L*

[Ra]

ZOMGTMNTMOVIECOMINGOUTSOONCHICKENLOL *runs around in circles*

I can't wait long enough for this, really. As soon as it's out, I'm going to go and see it, if not, on the first weekend it's out.

22 DAYS 7 HOURS 11 MINUTES AND 10 SECONDS TO GOOOOOOOOO!!! :evilgrin:

Hate to be the bearer of bad news Ra, but from what I've read, we aren't getting the movie until early April :cry:

[raphaelprime]

Well here it's $4.00 before Noon, $6.00 from Noon - 6pm, and then after that it's like $8.L*


I dont think theres any around me that show before Noon. But here(in my town atleast) all shows up until 5 are $4.50, and then all shows are $6.50. But then in Winston its $6.50 for all shows up until 6 then i think its like $8...But i like going up to the drive-in theatre, during the week its $5 for 2 movies, and $5 for 3 movies on the weekend, and your allowed to bring your own food(dominos!! lol), plus the screen is insanely huge.

[Jo Dawn]

Midnight show. Already set for it.


... with cooperating theater, that is. There better be a midnight show.

[Zelda]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news Ra, but from what I've read, we aren't getting the movie until early April :cry:

Does that go for New Zealand too? Once I heard the UK date, I've been looking all over trying to find their date for it ): arrghhh... I don't want to miss opening night due to being in transit! >_<

[Roseangelo]

I'm all there for a midnight show and I'm reallyreally hoping that this happens!!

[The Lone Turtle]

I honestly have no idea, sorry. Does New Zealand usually have the same movie release dates as Oz?

[Raph's Girl]

Here is the release dates for the movie in some countries:

March:
22 - Isreal, Russia
23 - USA
28 - Belgium
29 - Argentina, Hong Kong, Malaysia
30 - Iceland, Norway, Spain, Turkey, UK, Venezuela

April:
5 - Australia
11 - France
12 - Germany
13 - Austria
20 - Latvia
25 - Netherlands
26 - Singapore

June:
22 - Finland

There's no release date for New Zealand as of yet. But they're adding more release dates all the time. The newest addition to the release dates list is Venezuela.

[Ra]

...

:cry:

*runs off into her bedroom, slams the door, grabs a knife, and starts cutting some bread for herself to eat while crying* That just plain sucks. I've now got to remark my calenders. All 5 of them* :cry:

In regards to New Zealand, they should get the movie the same time as us. Usually we get things at the same time. It still sucks though, since we usually get things later than the rest of the world. First video games and now the TMNT movie...what will they cut next? :roll:

[Masked Ninja]

Well, you guys still win as far as the Lost Season is concerned...

*grumbles quietly* ;)

[Zelda]

I honestly have no idea, sorry. Does New Zealand usually have the same movie release dates as Oz?

Wish I knew.... I know they tend to be behind the US though. It'll be my first time over there...next week!

Raph's Girl, where are you getting the list of release dates? So I can check it myself instead of asking everyone every 5 minutes ;)

[Ra]

Well, you guys still win as far as the Lost Season is concerned...

*grumbles quietly* ;)
Ah, true :P I still need to find the Lost Season release dates too... *scurries off to find them*

[Time Mistress]

Poor Ra. Hopefully the Lost Season will be there to tide you over.

20 days to go here in the US!

Depending what time the theater opens I'm either going to have to see this before or after work on the 23rd.

[MAESTAS]

Can't wait to see the movie. Is anyone going to buy the TMNT movie video game? I am, and off the topic, but can someone make me a sig pic?

[Kendamu]

I'm gonna buy it. I dunno if I'm getting the Wii version or the PS2 version, though.

[MAESTAS]

I'm gonna buy it. I dunno if I'm getting the Wii version or the PS2 version, though.

what do you have to do to paste a pic to your signature?

[Kendamu]

Try to stay on topic. This place is like "by-the-book central", dude.

But, to answer your question, use imageURLhere to get it to work. Make sure you use the whole URL including the http:// part.

[MAESTAS]

Ok, thanks. Poor Finland, they have to wait until June to see TMNT. I would go crazy!

[Turtleman100]

6 days 2 go.

[Whitewolf89]

5 days (and counting) to go now.

Hehehe, I can-NOT wait!!!!!:D :D :D

[Garou]

12 days to go for me. I could cry :cry: But I have reserved the movie game (it doesn't come out here until March 23, the same date as the PS3, which I have also reserved). So I just have to live with the movie clips until the end of the month...

[kerfootw]

I'd rent the game first.

[Raph's Girl]

Raph's Girl, where are you getting the list of release dates? So I can check it myself instead of asking everyone every 5 minutes ;)

The main list from the internet movie database. But I also get release dates from people I have talked to.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Four days... Can you believe it?! :D

[Turtleman100]

Four days huh. I will see it on the first day it comes out. I know you guys will too. Friday March 23 2007 are four heros on the half shell will be back on the big screen like we never seen them before. I can't wait.

[Raven]

I'm really starting to get excited now, a while back it just seemed so far away so I wasent really paying attention to anything for the movie but now I'm really pumped to see this film.

The last Ninja turtle film I got to see in theaters, well in fact it was the only one was TMNT 3......dear god dont make me go into why I hated it so much (even if it was slightly fun) but I'm really excited to see the turtles on the big screen.

Just found a theater that will be playing the movie at midnight, I took the day off so I could see the movie maybe twice and then go see Lacuna coil and Stone Sour.

Damn this is going to be a great week!

[Masked Ninja]

In my animation class this morning, one of the guys asked loudly "Who wants to go see TMNT on Friday?" Of course everyone looked at me. :P There seems to be a general enthusiasm for the film, and that makes me happy. I don't know if I'll see it with them or not - depends on when I can see it with my friends. If it's different times, and if I really enjoy it... heh, maybe twice?

[Ecto Jedi]

Four days huh. I will see it on the first day it comes out. I know you guys will too. Friday March 23 2007 are four heros on the half shell will be back on the big screen like we never seen them before. I can't wait.

Here's something my friend brought up last night that I hadn't thought of before. Are you guys concerned about being in a theatre surrounding by whiny, loud, annoying kids? I know seeing children in the theatre is a good sign, given that it is a kids' movie and that it shows the property is reaching virgin eyes, but I'm not looking forward to an audience full of eight-year-olds.

I'll probably catch a late showing and see if that helps.

[Whitewolf89]

TWO days to go!

(Well, here in the U.S., anyway.)

There were a lot of kids in the theater when I saw it and absolutely none of them acted up. Hopefully that means the movie is so good that the kids are too preoccupied to be annoying. 8)

[Ra]

THREE DAYS TO GOOOOO!!!

:evilgrin:

[Time Mistress]

Well, I called the local theater today to find out the movie times. They have a service that can allow you to hear times for a few days in advance. Couldn't hear one for TMNT though, but there was one movie that they stupidly forgot to mention the title of! Could that be TMNT I thought? I drove down to the theater to ask someone there if they knew. The ticket guy said at first that TMNT wasn't going to be playing at that theater. But then he took out a sheet of the upcoming movies and said, wait I was wrong TMNT is going to be playing at this theater. So I ask him for the times. No preview showing. Earliest time I can see TMNT will be 12:20 on Friday, perfect! I can pick up my best friend and we have just enough time to see it before I have to go to work. I then asked the concession stand lady if they will have any souvenier TMNT cups or popcorn buckets. She said no. As I left the theater I heard the same concession stand lady start to sing the old toon theme song. Life is good!

[Whitewolf89]

:D Today's Thursday, peeps! Only TODAY stands between US and our long-awaited movie!!! Hehehe, are yas gettin' excited?!:D :D

[Ra]

All I know is that I need to wait an extra two weeks *grumbles* :P

Still, I can't help but be excited. This is TMNT history unfolding before our very eyes! :D

[Fox]

Youre lucky beacause I live in Finland and here the release date is in June:dead: Three more months is quite long waiting time..


P.S. Sorry if my english suc*s.

[Ra]

Aww...I feel for ya, buddy :(

And your english is fine. Not a spelling mistake in sight. Then again, english is my first language and I suck at it :P

[AquaParade]

I'm so excited for this movie, been waiting sooooo long, but what are we all gonna look forward to after this, tmnt-wise?!?....besides the dvd release

[JetsAndHeels]

what are we all gonna look forward to after this, tmnt-wise?!?....besides the dvd release

A sequel. :)

[jeff the cheff]

I'm so excited, this movie date just creeped up on me. I have to wait until saturday to see it, though. :(

I made it into the comment/joke instant message section in the school newspaper today. I said something along the lines of "If you don't see the new ninja turtles movie this weekend, then your 5 year old self will kick you in the ass for it."

So uh, hopefully some old school college fans will go see it because of that, :lol:

[kerfootw]

:lol: Good one.

[Raph's Girl]

Well I know everyone around here is getting all excited. I went to the mall yesterday wearing one of my Raph shirts...and at every store I went to I got the same thing.

"Are you excited about the new movie cuz I am!"... *lol*
I got that at Hot Topic (where I baught a new shirt) and Build a Bear store (where I baught the new turtle). The gal at the build a bear store I talked to was an OS only fan and doesn't like 2K3.. She didn't even realize I was a fan at first...I walked up to the turtle and she just started talking on and on about the TMNT then noticed my 2K3 shirt and OS pin (I have a Donatello pin I got in a Burger King Happy Meal WAAAY back in 1990).... "Are you a fan?... OH! I guess you are!" :lol: So I had a fun day yesterday talking turtle to fans my age. :evilgrin:

Im going to the earliest showing possible tomarrow. Unfortunatly Fandango only sells tickets starting at Noon...which is fraking nuts....I know the theatre opens at 10am.

I also know there'll be lots of kids there even at the early showing since they gave the kids the day off here. Teacher Work day my arse.... they just gave em a 3 day weekend cuz of the movie. :P

[Cascadia]

My local movie theater's showing times of TMNT:

Fri (3/23): (4:25) 6:40, 8:50

Should I choose 4:25 or the 6:40 showing?

Or I can go to the city where they are showing TMNT on two screens.

10:15am, 10:45am, 12:50, 1:45, 3:25, 4:30, 6:30, 7:15, 9:00, 9:40, 11:25

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

My local movie theater's showing times of TMNT:

Fri (3/23): (4:25) 6:40, 8:50
Should I choose 4:25 or the 6:40 showing?

When do you get off of work (Are you even going to work :D)?
Do you plan on eating before or after the movie?
Do you plan on watching the movie more than once this weekend? More than once on Friday?

Those are some of the questions I asked myself when I couldn't decide on the times. If you want to relax a little or plan to eat before the movie, I suggest the 6:40 timeslot. If not, go for the 4:25.

[Cascadia]

good questions on what I should ask myself. I will probably eat alittle bit before I go. On the other hand, the price of the ticket between the two showings is $2.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

::drums fingers:: Hmm... Well if the meal is portable ( pizza, maybe? :lol: ), go for the 4:25. $2 makes a big difference...

[Cascadia]

::drums fingers:: Hmm... Well if the meal is portable ( pizza, maybe? :lol: ), go for the 4:25. $2 makes a big difference...
:lol: :lol: :lol: Pizza will come afterwards for me. :tlol: :tlol: :tlol: $2 makes a big difference because this movie theater does not give special discounts for college students.

[LogicDonny]

TONITE! 12am opening night of tmnt!

Yay!

4 more days for me!

[Ralphmacchio]

12am opening I can't find that anywhere in the city. I can't go Friday cause i have class all day. so, i guess Saturday. Is this the type of film you should be the under the influence to enjoy? I will let you guys know first hand. :evilgrin:

[Masked Ninja]

I'm going with my two best friends and a bunch of animation majors tomorrow night at 7pm. Too bad there's not any hint of a midnight showing in these parts. And I'm about to start painting T-shirts that my friends and I will all wear to the movie tomorrow. :tpizza:

The buzz is pretty healthy, at least where I am. Many people don't know about the movie, but there are plenty that do and inform me about it when they see me wearing or drawing Turtles, heh.

[Cascadia]

I have my ticket for tomorrow's 4:25 showing, which is the first one in this town. When I got my ticket, people at the theater said, "You realize that it is animated." I told her that it does not matter if it is live-action or animated.

What the heck? Why would they even say that? :|

[MAESTAS]

Wow its only 1 day away! I hope I get to see it tommorrow, the lines are going to be long.

[cowabunga14]

I also know there'll be lots of kids there even at the early showing since they gave the kids the day off here. Teacher Work day my arse.... they just gave em a 3 day weekend cuz of the movie. :P
Yeah, I've been thinking tomorrow should be a holiday dedicated to the Turtles. It sucks that I don't have the day off from school, so I'm gonna try to convince at least one of my teachers to not give out any homework. I don't wanna have a crap load of homework to worry about...seeing as the movie's gonna be out tomorrow.

[Cascadia]

What the heck? Why would they even say that? :|

They indicated that some people are upset because it is not live-action like the previous movies.

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

Oh good! :D We'll be watching at almost the same time. I live on the east coast and I'll be going to the 7:00 pm showing. I'll only be 25 minutes into the story when you take your seat! :lol:

[Cascadia]

:lol: But of course, you have tons of previews.

[kerfootw]

They indicated that some people are upset because it is not live-action like the previous movies.

What a bunch of idiots!

(kerfootw b!*#% slaps them for you and says "You're welcome.")

[Cascadia]

I said that it will be entertaining no matter if it is live-action or animated.

[agoaj]

You should have said "Good, I didn't pay 10 dollars to look at a still picture."

[Kunoichi_Haruko]

You should have said "Good, I didn't pay 10 dollars to look at a still picture."

:lol: Oh, that one got a chuckle out of me... :)

[TuRtLeTiTaN]

i got my tickets for the 7 15 showing that screen is almost sold out :) im so proud of them boys

[kerfootw]

I said that it will be entertaining no matter if it is live-action or animated.

And that's what I meant.

[Whitewolf89]

What the heck? Why would they even say that? :|

'Cause some people are ninnies, that's why. Mention a TMNT movie, and they automatically ASSUME that it's live-action, like the first three. Just like an animated movie wouldn't, or couldn't, be as good as live-action. Which is just flat-out ridiculous. (Anybody here remember a l'il movie called "Shrek"?)

Anyway, it's the 23rd now. MOVIE day! I checked the website of my theatre earlier this evening (well, YESTERDAY evening, about 11:45, or so), and while it doesn't exactly have the TMNT poster in one of the "Now Playing" spots (it's a six theatre cinema), I DID notice that the THIRD "poster" on the page was starting to "peel off", and I'm PRETTY sure that the "poster BENEATH it was for TMNT.

I also called the theatre, but all they have is a recorded message-type phone that tells you what's currently playing, and the times that they're playing. I plan to call it again later today, to confirm that it's there. I've got a movie "date" with my niece Ashley for this (have had for over a month now!), and I have to confirm that it is DEFINITELY going to BE there tonight!

And I wish that we could've gotten tickets in advance. I've...never BEEN to the Glass Sword, so I don't know how things are set up, as far as capacity and seating is concerned. But we'll get it figured out.

Oh, and I saw a trailer for the movie earlier yesterday evening, while I was watching "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force GO!" (whew! Mouthful!:lol: ) on Toon Disney, but I wasn't quick enough with my VCR remote to record it, dang it! After watching SWAT Kats, I stayed on TD hoping that I'd catch it again, so that I COULD record it, but even after suffering through two different incarnations of Power Rangers, Get Ed, Digimon, and several others, I STILL didn't catch it. Well, I've still got all of today, before going TO the movie. Maybe I can still get one of them.

Hmmmm, we took the van to a garage to get the ball-joints fixed yesterday, so it'll pass inspection and we can get the tags (license plates) renewed. I just hope that they're done BEFORE tonight. But I'm sure that they will be. The FIRST show isn't til 7 PM, so that's PLENTY of time to get the van fixed and everything else that we need to do. And IF it's not...... Well, we'll just come up with another way. We can WALK if we have to, and go early. No biggie. We are NOT missing this!

Hehehe, this is going to be one GREAT weekend! The TMNT movie tonight, "Membership Drive" from "The Lost Season", a new TMNT: Fast Forward ep ("Graduation Day - Class of 2105") on 4KidsTV Saturday morning, and a TMNT mini-marathon on CN Saturday afternoon! Ah, heaven! Can-NOT wait for tonight and tomorrow!!!

Less than 24 hours to go, folks! Are ya excited?!:D :D :D

And kerfoot, you are absolutely right. It's NOT the medium that matters where a movie is concerned, it's the story. (Okay, the characters help, too.) Unfortunately, SOME people can't see BEYOND the live-action vs. animated thing. Which is silly.

[kerfootw]

You should check out the TMNT site on the imdb. Some of the most horrid trolls and stuck ups you'll ever see in your entire life! themanwhowouldberaph and I usually have our hands full over there so much it's crazy.
