That is disgusting. I understand that the boys are teenagers who will never be able to mate with anything. But if there is one thing tmnt movie makers should avoid, it's inter-species mating.

I thought the movie was great. It didn't show Michelangelo and Donatello that much. It was still a great movie, I will probably go see it again.

*Revan* · 03-26-2007, 05:17 PM

I paid full admission for my ticket so don't come after me when I tell you I have been watching clips from fake user accounts on youtube. It's such a beautiful movie. Even better the second time you see it.

P.S. keep an eye out for pirate vids on youtube and alert the forum when they surface! FLAG THOSE VIDS!

People did chuckle when Leo and April looked at eachother. I was like, Oh brother! But the second they started to talk about the family, all those weird funky feelings between those two dissappeared. But just for that second, it was akward.

Besides, I thought it was Leo and Karai that were the big shippers?

*Rooish* · 03-26-2007, 10:02 PM

Oh lordy. Not touching Leo/Karai with a ten-foot pole.

MAESTAS and Neutrino, I agree with you both. Mikey and Donny weren't in it enough. But it was beautiful. And it's better the second time. (I can't wait for the third!) Man, I keep going back and forth between loving it to death and being disappointed.

Is that really a ten (12 inches per) foot pole, or a pole made of 10 foot ninjas?

*Rooish* · 03-26-2007, 10:19 PM

It would take ten Foot Ninjas to keep Leo and Karai off each other!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. You know, that whole Karai/Leo thing is almost like a F@#$%^ up version of Romeo and Juliet.

It's so weird that a human could feel anything for a giant mutant turtle.

Has anyone ever thought of how crappy it would be to be a teenager and have no one to fool around with. ie) the tmnts

bummer

I think that is one of the biggest issues concerning Raph and his frustrations and anger. Considering he probably possesses the most testosterone out of all the Turtles.

ummmmm yeah I happen to be friends with some people who do that while I dont dig it I don't care what other people do as long as they arent having sex with real animals.
And the thing I said "to many freaks in the club" is a well known saying...like to many chefs in the kitchen i mean really you don't see any chefs coming in here and flipping out do you?
And I'll thank you to read the whole thread of before you jump down one persons throat.

p.s. please stop taking yourself so seriously I really find it funny from one person that dresses up and does caberet stage shows to another who dresses in animal costumes to really get pissed over something that insignificant it really makes you look insecure.

Am I the only one who got the impression that the ridiculous plot in TMNT was possible homage to the Ghostbusters movie, which came out in 1984 same as the first comic book?

I swear, the swirling green portal/vortex looks just like the one above the skyscraper of the "Gate Keeper." And what about the Jersey Devil's uncanny resemblance to those cute, evil critters from Gremins -- which, interestingly, also came out in 1984? Did you guys spot anything else?

My X was into that ****. All her friends smelled like ass and they were the biggest group of ugliest nerds I have ever seen.

And I'm not shallow.

Moral of the story, this is why I avoid anime conventions.

*Anarky* · 03-27-2007, 10:52 AM

Ladies, Gentlemen and Furries, would you please stop insulting the fluffier kind of humanity? And don't we all, deep down, crave a little yiffing?

No, seriously, thou shalt not bash minorities and minorities shalt not bash back, starting now.

Ha there was so much more.

Winters' death = Beauty and the Beast
Opening battle in the past = Walled city of Troy in the background
Planets align unleashing monsters = Disney's Hercules

just to name a few

Actually... I meant stuff from the 80's in particular...

But yeah.

TMNT started off as a pop culture parody, and it seems like it was done quite a bit in this film as well (though... perhaps too much

)

That's a good point. Kinda cool. And if it takes you multiple viewings and deep thought to see the pop culture parody (or influences), it probably wasn't overdone.

There's a lot of weird circular and parallel and metaphorical stuff going on in this movie, and I don't know how much of it was intentional. I'm really curious, because TMNT as parody has usually been pretty subtle, on average. Closer to a self-aware homage. TMNT rarely comes off like Shrek, which hits you over the head with its references.

For once, I can't wait for the director's commentary track on the DVD.
