CRT/tanaka...Riiight.
 

So, the official site has a update on the main page that brings you to this:
http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/crt.html
which has information on the 25th anniversary Shell-ebration.

Watching the promotional video, I am scared....very scared. I hate to sound like a naysayer, but come on. A few of my buddies and I could have probably have made an equally good promo.

Am I alone in my fears?

The clips on the site never work, can someone youtube it?

It's a quick time video, and not on 4kids.

Ok it worked, and when the girl with Leo's bandana turned around and smiled at the camera it scared the **** out of me. What the hell...

Creepy. The whole thing was hilariously bad, any average person could have made something like this and actually done it better.

Now I understand why people are worried about the 25th anniversary.

o Jester your not, that was f3cking retarded and emberassing to watch.
When Raphael says get a grip in the old toon theme song, I thought to myself yeah some one *cough* Gary*cough*Peter* needs to get a grip with friggin reality.:roll:
Oh not to mention that plug of those wonderful toys used in the video that Playmates will be re-releasing for like the 30th time now.

I didn't see the video yet, but exactly what service are these ass monkeys providing? It looks to me as if they're just hired on to expand the Anniversary website... why did we need to know about that, exactly?

*shrugs* But someone needs to expand the 25th anniversary page, it's ONE PAGE! Seriously, all it has is the count down and the contest.

to p1ss the fans off more at what blind out of touch idiots these people behind the turtles are?
Seriously if there wasn't ever more of a reason to kick Gary to the curb before.
Seriously, wtf no just no not a single one of us has asked for that, what we want is better quality products! I don't know what fans this guy is listening to but I could give less about some turtlevan driving around the country. I seriously want to punch this man right in the crotch!
Oh, and the fanboard idea wouldn't have done this, you know I'm seriously starting to get p1ssed off just like Rose and I've had enough of the Middle finger being tossed in the faces of the fans who want to help make this thing right.
Why is it the people at the top are always the ones the screw sh1t up and never understand their own product, it really makes me angry.

Ok, I've gotta:
Multi-experiential...experience... Who wrote this!? :roll:

*kicks you*

LOL!

Look at their client list.

They've never done anything anywhere close to an animated property or dealing with kids...except for the Girl Scouts...and Philip Morris ;-)

Okay. Uh. Yeah.

Spit, you so need to challenge this video. ;)

I really don't understand what's even keeping you (or anyone else, really) from crossing the line and "joining" me.

Rob at Peppercom emailed the press release to me this morning and I had to use every ounce of willpower to not send a rude email in reply.

This is a bunch of people acting like idiots.

This embarasses me as a fan of this franchise.

Because your dark powers are intimidating.

Is the BBB even considered a client?

I have yet to see this video, but it all just confirms from the reviews that Peter may still have the creative talent to bring about good animated properties.... But as far as business goes, he and gary need to not only get with the times, but also hire someone who actually gives a shoot...

Turtles has to be one of the top ten worst mis managed properties in history...

yo the page is up! go to http://tmnt25.crtti.com/ and then u see the page! look at those donatello nike sneakers!

I'm downloading QT right now to see this but do I want to see this mess?

I'm becoming pretty tired of alla this crap they're putting out, it's not what the fans are clamoring for.

Road trip? no. get real.

I may drop out of the fandom but I will never ever ever stop being a Raph fan. I don't have to like the crap they put out but nothing's to stop me from being the fan.

I'm starting to agree with Rose. This is ridiculous.

lol @ publishing unfinished pages. This is so amateurish.

I'm starting to think this was done in the 2000-era buzzword frenzy.

I agree. I'm not harboring as much Teenage Mutant Ninja Anger as say, Rose seems to be, because I've really enjoyed the creative offerings while Laird's been in charge. What's absolutely infuriating however, is how terrible at promotion and management Laird and Richardson seem to be.

Since the Turtles came back in 2002:
Creative direction - Good
Management - Abysmal, and the proof is in the pudding.

That was awesome.

Why do I keep seeing that name everywhere? Who is that? I don't care enough to look it up.
Joining you in what?

While I have my miffs with certain creative directions, the main focus of my frustration is...

Exactly that (well, that would be the short version). And as I don't believe there can be any hope creatively as long as management remains unchanged, I really can't support any part of it.

Seeing the truth about where the TMNT are headed and why they're headed down the toilet instead of blindly supporting everyone/everything because of some sort of loyalty that Mirage certainly hasn't earned.

Wow, Splinter really let himself go...
 

Hm... I couldn't play the video on the site (even though I KNOW my Quicktime works), so I went onto youtube and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Frw0tFVWI

If this is that exact video... I TOTALLY like it - as a fan film.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...reepyPitch.jpg

If this is an official pitch... I'd fire the people. Hell, my senior film about a frog running for president looked better than this....

Gee Whiz...someone has posted a rather snarky comment on that youtube page...I wonder who it was :tangel:

So, you just want company in being crabby? Sorry, but life's too short to hold onto bitterness. If you were suggesting something more proactive, I might be game. But, keep in mind that I don't believe in violence. ;)

OMG this is insulting!

if it were a fan film it's cute but THIS PIECE OF CRAP IS A PITCH!?

It's the most unprofessional piece of garbage ever. And yes I could probably make a better one using my laptop's camera!

Hye Archon...go reload the youtube page :P

No, but the persistent butt kissing is more hurtful than helpful in the big picture.

That's just the thing. There's nothing proactive that can be suggested. I've questioned many minds on this topic, and they're all unanimous in saying any effort is futile.

And for the record, I hold no bitterness. I am at the point where I find this all just extremely humorous and amusing.

Um... everyone's bitching about a Road Trip? I expected one. In fact, I would have been surprised if there wasn't one. Sure, it's nothing I'm interested in, but it just seems like the thing to do.

That is totally visionary. This is the only logical step forward in the history of the TMNT! It must be! It is phenomenal!

I really hate to be doom and gloom, it is contrary to the title "Jester" but man, we are getting hosed!!!

In fact as I was typing this response a clip came to mind....so I'll make it and be right back.

Ok here it is:

Enjoy!

I ought to poke you with a sharp stick.

I really hope this is one of your infamous difficult to tell when you're being sarcastic moments...but just in case...she is the republican candidate for the Vice President of the United States of America...you DO live here right? :-P

Oh... Yeah, I live in America. I just don't pay attention to politics (and especially politicians).
Spot on, Jester...

well done jester.
:D

Thanks Gobo and Buslady. :D

Youtube Version...it's the same, only I can actually post the video and not just a picture link to it...:P


EDIT: Ok, it's up now. :D

Yes a road trip of comicons, out there supporting the comic, and whatever else they have left.
And maybe Peter could go out with the rest of the Mirage guys and go to shows, or do interviews. But see Peter keeps going oh well not me, oh well not the turtles they're not good enough gosh golly.
You know he sure gets p1ssy with fans when they give him an opinion.
But you know seriously he needs to stop being so down and nonchalant
about this property, this is seriously one of the greatest things to come along in a very long time and the longevity of the property alone has proven that.
I could crap out a better plan for this thing.
I'm seriously disgusted by their attitudes, and lack of any real creative ideas and media.
hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahah totally perfect!:lol:

Should I make it a video comment to "The Pitch"?

Why havent you already? GO MAN GO!
