We really need 2 separate threads for pictures and videos, one where pictures and videos can be posted and one where people can post pictures and videos as well as discuss and debate til the cows come home. So for those who actually want to see the pictures being posted don't have to skim through 30+ pages to find a single picture of the director's chair, and then some 20 odd pages more just to see a glimpse off a vehicle.

That'd (hopefully) help avoid these dumb situations... but I feel like there are other sites/blogs for that sort of thing already, aren't there? Not that we can't have both here too, but every time someone flips out and complains about people having a conversation and clogging up any given thread, I kinda wonder if they understand the concept of a "forum". :trazz:

If some people just want a free news source where other people compile photos and information for them... well, too bad. They can go find one or make one themselves. I can't stand the ones who yell at and insult people who are having a conversation and demand other people give them only what they want.

This happened before with the first movie, There was a thread only for pictures and video, yet people kept ignoring the rules in it.

There hasn't been any set images or videos since the section was locked down, So far the only thing I found is Stephen Amell on Rollerblades on the set of TMNT 2.

Yeah, I remeber that. But I feel that it should be given a new chance. Maybe a mod could post pictures in a locked thread for people to look at, or if it's possible to give a dedicated forum member a thread only they can post in.

And both threads should be sticky threads so people can find both easily, cause very few care to use the search function. Then there's less excuses to post comments and start debates in the wrong thread.

But the problem is that when you have a thread devoted to pictures and videos, people are going to comment. It's the same with the rules in the Venting/Whining/Criticism Thread. It was like, "You can whine, but no bashing." Oookay. That makes no sense to me, but whatever. So it's not our fault that people are commenting. It's that the movie lovers are getting butthurt that we don't like what we see and are stating it. It's just ridiculous.

Been on every day to see if we've been unlocked and been browsing elsewhere.

You just can't see my username.

That's why we should have two separate threads. It's not about the discussions and the bickering etc, it's about keeping a place where people can easily find the pictures. i.e. a thread where only pictures are posted.

All you have to do is stickie both Photo/Video threads, Discussion and No Discussion.

Because sometimes people don't realize there's a Discussion thread because conversation dies off and it gets buried in newer, higher traffic threads. And they accidentally post in the No Discussion thread.

It'll help a lot with keeping the No Discussion thread nice and tidy.

TrickOrTreater, I'm suspicious... Alex Jones is telling me that Shark_Blade is really you running a false flag operation to try to undermine Michael Bay.

Please tell me you're really you and not him. I... I don't know what to believe. :tcry:

Yeah...if there's seriously going to be a pictures/video-only section I assume it would need to be locked to most. Or if that is difficult without screwing with special permissions so someone is able to post in it (or without a mod having to be pestered to add things all the time), as I suggested before maybe do a collective album somewhere and link it (and video links) in the first post then update to your heart's content. Allowing the rest of the thread for comments.

I mean clearly it's impossible for people to not want to comment when new stuff turns up, be it positive or negative, unless they're the most boring person on earth. Imagine showing someone a few pics on your phone and they glance at it, look away, and say nothing. :trazz: That's just not how we function as a species.

Glad to see Trick is back and I agree that he's not SB. SB loves the movies and Trick is the type to hate them like some of us who are faithful to our TMNT and want to see it rendered correctly.

And well said, Bry. That's the whole point of this forum, and if people don't like it that their precious thread is clogged up by people who don't like what they're seeing, that's ridiculous. Get over it.

But now I'm worried that TrickOrTreater is gonna start using my computer for weights, or push me around, or call me a nerd.

This is interesting cause, We only saw snow during the Snow Chase scene in the 1st one, Everywhere in NY was normal.

It's gotta be Winter time during the sequel, With the Halloween Parade already shot, and Christmas decorations at the Grand Central Station, TMNT 2 gotta be taking place around Christmas time.

Granted it is I assume only an exterior shot, but... little too obviously chosen out of all the streets to shoot on in NYC.

Well. I suppose future pics might prove if any one is walking out of the place. Is it one of the guys (human)? Is it April leaving her temp job before getting rehired with the/a news company? :tlol: Perhaps she has a cousin there who lends her a school girl outfit.

Movie still doesn't know what it wants to be. lol Personally I like my adult nods more subtle.

I didn't go over 5 pages going off topic and constant ramblings, it got annoying and it went like 2 photos or video's posted then it went like 5 pages of discussion then it a couple of photos again then it was another 7 pages of discussion and then so on.

A lot of people who don't go here much or guests like to look at the photos and videos but will end up getting fed up because they have to scroll pages and pages to the next photo or video.

I wasn't on much when the 1st film was getting filmed and I did go look on the offical photo thread and scrolled through to see what photo's and videos it had (think some of it got taken down by Paramount) and even though there wasn't many stuff and didn't mind the little discussion on it but it got annoying because people weren't talking about movie and constantly bickering it wasn't nice.

So I think it will be best to have a thread just for discussion.
