Awesome. Here's what Murph said on his blog in a comment about that whole thing:

"There's been no real forward movement outside of an email from Steve Barron wanting the URLs of related sites that he could forward to WB as "evidence" of a demand. On those grounds, we have to thank a whole lot of you."

It should be fine, unless he watched the holy **** out of it. Plus it's probably not the only copy in the world.

Everyone better be writing letters.

I'll have the second major update with another deleted scene this weekend.

[xChri5x]

I wonder if they can make this a DVD with the true original widescreen format. I was comparing some of the scenes from the widescreen against the fullscreen version of my DVD and it's really sporadic. Some shots are truly wider, but others are just cropped versions of the fullscreen.

I'd absolutely love to see a remixed/extended cut of this movie. I sure hope it works out that way.

I have posted the deleted scene where the Turtles are training on the farm!!!!

You can see it here, complete with pictures (more than I thought I had).

Spread the word and send your emails!! Murph says Steve Barron is watching the chatter and he's making sure WB knows, too!!

Hey. ONe fo the kids books released at the time was based on that deleted scene.

Ah, that's true!!

I wonder if I still have it... I know I have the audio cassette somewhere. That is one of the darn funniest audio cassettes I've ever heard. ^_^

[xChri5x]

Even with the scene filmed, I wonder if they finished the post production audio with the voice actors. If not, I wonder if they can bring them back and do the voices again to finish the scene and others.

Edit:
I wonder where this scene fits in:

[Jester]

Yeah...I had that little book.

I'll post that bit from the script eventually.

Here's something for everyone who wants to follow in Jester's footsteps:

1) Record a persuasive video of yourself asking Warner Brothers to release a TMNT Special Edition DVD.

2) Video should be at least 1 minute in length and you should mention the URL TMNT. ORG.

3) Upload video to YouTube. (Even better, upload it as a reponse to the TMNT Movie Mistakes video).

4) Send me the link to the video.

5) If you have a MySpace account, I'll add you to the top friends. If you don't have a MySpace account, you'll still be incredibly awesome!

[Jester]

Yes, because everyone aspires to be just like me!

Edited the description on my video to mention TMNT.org.`

I just watched through the movie today and tried to pay close attention to clues of cut scenes. The one that stands out the most is the shredder fighting his foot. I never really took into account how they roll out a fighting mat and when the shredder puts the Dragon Doji (sp?) on the guy and says "Money cannot buy what you have earned tonight".
I'm surprised I never picked up on this stuff and how obvious something was cut.

[Jester]

Wait, Shredder enters, they roll out the mats, there's a fight (which was cut), and then the presentation of the dragon doji?

That's what I said. That it's an obvious cut that I never realized until I read about the deleted scenes

[Darth Shredder]

THAT is the deleted scene I am most interested in seeing. Maybe than can even go ahead and insert it in the movie itself, and not just as a special feature. Think about how ominous that would look, and it'd be a great foreshadowing of how the Turtles are going to get their asses handed to them later on.

[A little *too* Raph]

Man that sounds awesome. I'm going to have to watch it tonight and find where they cut it, I never noticed before.

Hey Rose, think Dan or Murph can put the link to your blog on the main page so people who only know about the main site can check yours out and find out about it?

If someone wants to email Dan and ask him to do that, that'd be fine.

However, their boss, the guy most likely to actually profit from all of this effort 1) Stalks me around the Technodrome and apparently keeps a file of everything I say, ever (not that I regret anything, but come on Peter, get a life) 2) Hates me vehemently because I have the gall to tell him the blunt truth instead of kiss his ass (this from the same guy who ranted about how horrible the Star Wars prequels were and said that the guys around Lucas should have told him how horrible everything was instead of stand around and kiss his ass) 3) Can't stand the fact that Kevin Eastman has never been an ass to me, so I tend to speak positively of him.

To say my enthusiasm for this project has dropped would be an understatement. I'm sticking with it, but really only because it's for the greater good.
