Or, as some will insist, those of good taste and those without. Heyo!

Well I am certainly not one of those people. So we can put that to rest right away.

Man this thread has gone off topic. Although I can't say I'm surprised.

I'm just giddy that I got to use "offal" in a sentence. That's one of those Scrabble words that nobody ever uses.

I wasn't aware of the word until I looked it up just now. So it's not just how Americans pronounce "awful", it's an actual word. Good to know

No, tis an actual word. Basically means really really really bad-quality meat.

Nailed it before I could, you magnificent bastard.

Regarding Bay's opinion of Krang's appearance: Why don't we just compromise and make Krang a f*cking talking pineapple, since nothing f*cking matters at all. Since absolutely ZERO of these characters are required to look or act the way they're supposed to look and act, why not just make Krang a goddamn talking pineapple. It would be wonderful if some moron could come in here and try to defend that bullsh*t to me.

Please make this happen, Michael Bay. I want concrete proof that I'm all that's left of sanity and common sense. I already know it, I just want more proof. So please make Krang a talking pineapple, so this awful piece of sh*t movie can make a billion dollars and I can lose these annoying last few scraps of faith in humanity.

You prick.

I forget, how exactly was Krang described to have looked in the Blue Door script?

Because this seems to be just as bad as that was.

That is subjective, There is no such thing as good taste or bad taste, just tastes, you either like the movies or not. I don't like it when people are talking down on the others for saying they got bad taste.

There are people that like the original trilogy cause they were born in that era, and those who like the prequels cause they were born in that era, to say they have bad taste is insulting, I never tell anyone they have bad taste in movies, cause they have there own taste, i have my own taste, I'm not gonna insult them for liking something you don't

Anyone saying to someone they have bad taste, are just being a complete a-hole about it.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Krang gets doused by mutagen while trying to slurp a pina colada through a straw... PINEAPPLE FURY KRANG!!!

Sounds like a Playmates toy waitin' to happen.

I've never pretended to be anything other than a complete asshole. It's what makes me both infuriating and endearing. (And, also on rare and unfortunate occasion, a dick to somebody who doesn't deserve it.)

This ain't one of those cases. Kids are allowed to have crappy taste because they're still fascinated by bright flashy shiny things. Adults who like this... well, that disturbs me a little bit. Is it a guilty pleasure? Apologetic nostalgia?

Wrong, not everything is subjective, some things are bad, and liking them unironically means a person has bad taste. That's where the terms "good taste" and "bad taste" came from in the first place. They're not new ideas, they're ancient.

"There's no such thing as 'bad taste'," however, is a manufactured idea that crybabies on the internet came up with when they got tired of people teasing them for liking garbage, and is something that's only started making the rounds very recently. It's a defensive reaction from people who need thicker skin and need to look up the word "objectivity" in the dictionary.

Stop it.

I agree people over-hate on the Prequels, however. They're not THAT bad. However, they are bad enough that if a person likes them more than the original films, then yes, that person has bad taste, because when you remove any SW affection from the equation entirely, the movies themselves are not very good. But I will agree people over-sell how bad they are. But they're not "good" either.

Believe it or not, The Force Awakens has its detractors cause it capitalizes on the nostalgia, and having retreads of episode 4.

and those love it for the nostalgia, If your gonna borrow from the best, borrow from episode 4.

I'm sure the same will happen with TMNT 2, cause its going to capitalize on the FW series even more so then the 1st.

It doesn't matter if it does take cues from ANH. It's still a better written movie than the prequels combined.

Which is more than I can say for OOTS considering the people involved.

I'm actually one of those Ep7 detractors. I think it was horribly unoriginal, but I can't fault them to a certain extent.

I never wanted to hate on the Prequels until I actually saw them, because I'm not even a Star Wars fan. But after watching the "EverythingWrongWith" videos of the prequels, I get it. Those Anakin actors are terrible. And Jar Jar... and midchlorians... I think those are the main problems with them.

He was a nebulous little cloud in a fishbowl in the center of a robot body.

A cloud? Really? Please don't make me read through my copy of the Blue Door script again...

[THGhost]

A cloud? Wow, that's... Creative? At least they got the robot body part right. Right?

Y'know what? Ignore what I said earlier. This is a thousand times worst.

Unless I'm mistaken, the robot was described to have four arms.

So no, they couldn't even get that right.

I think they utterly fail as movies, but every analysis about them is amplified by 1000% because, y'know, Star Wars. They're stiffly written, directed, and acted, are shockingly boring overall for an attempted sci-fi epic with laser swords, and are totally lacking in interesting or likeable characters. They're not the worst movies of all time or anything, but there's nothing memorable about them at all beyond the particularly irritating/hate-worthy characters Anakin and Jar-Jar. If they weren't Star Wars, they'd just be forgotten entirely like so many other ambitious but badly-executed movies before and since.
