TMNT 2 to Shoot in Albany

[NinjaPug]

People really don't understand why this might annoy people?

Why would there ever need to be NBA players or an NBA game in a TMNT movie?

Great idea to spend less screentime on the Turtles to give us Vernon at an NBA game with some rando model. It's an even better idea to spend some of the production budget on NBA players/renting MSG/etc instead of using it to fix some of the terrible CGI (I'm looking at you Splinter).

F*ck Platinum Dunes.

it wont push the story fourth one way or another and its only there to give the main human actor more facetime


you know the guy tho is the real star of this film

Bay's career at this stage is basically a stiff middle finger to the public.

Unfortunately, we're in this situation because people keep paying to see his movies. This is the bed we have made for ourselves.

I can't even be enraged, like - this is Bay. This is what he does - he makes movies for 15 year old boys. It was always going to turn out this way, and people are still going to kiss his butt and call it icecream no matter how many critics and fans complain. Bay will always make mega-bucks off his movies. I can't even pretend to understand why people like his work, but his private jet seems to attest to some people clearly liking what he does. He who has the gold makes the rules, and for the people who were dissatisfied with the first BayTurtles movie, there's zero point hoping that this movie is going to be an improvement on it. It simply won't happen. Bay has no reason to do anything differently - he knows he can push out the same thing over and over again and people will pay to see it because hey, they did the last time and it's only popcorn entertainment right?

So... it is what it is.

At this stage, I'm mostly just left with a morbid sense of curiosity. We know it's gonna be bad... but how bad are we talking here? At this stage, it's all just a matter of degrees.

I'll just be in the corner with my popcorn, watching the car wreck unfold.

Utterly fascinated but wholly unsurprised there's two or three folks defending this bit.

Amazing.

Hey remember all the stuff you said would or wouldn't happen that turned out to be the exact opposite in every way?

Seems a bit excessive to have actual NBA players being in the movie just for a short scene, wouldn't they be more expensive then actors?

I do find it weird having basketball players cameo in the movie, I would of thought American football players are more popular and paid more than basketball player. I don't care for American sport it's boring, especially American football, I tried watching it for 10 mins once and got bored, it's more boring than rugby but that's just me as I'm from the UK.

I just hope the scenes are under a minute.

Not really. They're paid alittle more than extras. DeAndre probably getting the most as he's the closest to a star player in that lineup but they aren't netting a million for this.

Y'know how people make fun of the Vanilla Ice cameo in Secret of the Ooze because it instantly dated the movie and prioritized promoting a celebrity before actually telling a damn story?

How far we've come.

I doubt the players are in some sort of key scene in the movie where they're pretty much the focus of the entire thing.

I didn't say they would be, but they're still likely gonna be a pointless distraction. It's the same thinking: wasting screentime and resources on celebrity cameos, promos and obnoxious product placement instead of putting that time and energy toward making a good Ninja Turtles movie.

Looks like Alessandra Ambrosio is cast in the sequel, Shes playing herself and the love interest to Will Arnett. She was a Victoria's Secrets model.

Great, just what we need. More pointless celebrity cameos. And from a Victoria's Secret model, no less.

Not really suprised, same thing happen in Transformers.

Because God knows Vernon's such a major character he deserves a love interest.

I am seriously getting more and more pissed off the more I hear about this sequel.
