This bothers me.

He claims the comics are financed "out of his own pocket", now a movie is being financed "out of his own pocket". This makes me wonder, if everything TMNT-related is being "financed out of Laird's pocket" then...where is all the revenue from the last movie, the cartoon, the toys, the DVDs and all the other merchandise going?

Into Laird's pocket? If so, then he's supposed to be using that money to finance further TMNT projects, so why keep making a big production out of it to try and make people feel guilty?

And if the money isn't going into Laird's pocket and he IS financing every project with junior's college fund...then where the hell is all the money being made off TMNT merchandise going?

Seriously, I wish he'd quit it with the "I'm spending MY money on all this stuff so you should be grateful you're getting anything at all!" attitude. I'm sick to death of it.
