The action figures wore an assortment of clothes, I have no problem with their choices of attire.

So... a gag? Goofing around. Not the same as "I'm going to wear this. This expresses my individuality."

Yeah I thought of that as soon as I saw it too. Very cool! I have collected a few other licensed Pringles cans over the years so I will definitely collect TMNT ones.

I went shopping at Albertsons today and I noticed something on some DVDs.

I did not realize that Nickelodeon distributes Turtles Forever. I still thought it belonged to Warner Bros.

I'm surprised to see that Nickelodeon has acquired the rights to distribute Turtles Forever. I still thought it belonged to Warner Bros.

Is it the Widescreen and Uncut version?

I can only hope this means they have rights to release the whole 2k3 series and will do so in short order as a "Complete Series" set.

I'm also still waiting for TMNT on blu ray from Nick in full season sets.


In other (slow) news....

Got an e-mail from Pizza Hut.

$5 off for ninjas

Basically $5 off an order of $20 or more, promoting the cheesy bites pizza (the turtles' favorite, it says).

I never seem to make use of these sort of deals. It's just me solo when I order pizza on a weekend a lot of the times and when I can get a large pizza, breadsticks, and a drink for $15, I find it silly to spend full price on a pizza over $20.

And since the deals can never be combined, I can't stock up on pizza for the weekend/week and use it that way either.

Because, yes, I'd use a coupon for a deal and then add on a second smaller pizza to push over $20 and THEN add on the $5 coupon and be unhealthy with a plethora of pizza if I could!

I didn't look at the back of it.

Man, they're really giving away free tickets left and right, aren't they? I wonder if they can count those toward the box office totals. If so... pretty sneaky, sis.

And the Turtles Forever DVD looks like the same old North American release it got originally. Looks like they're just slapping free tickets on every DVD they currently have for sale.

That explains why it's still on the shelves...

But yeah. Seems like they got everything.

Dude, it's only ever been released by Nick. It came out years ago. There's nothing to be surprised about, Viacom owns the TMNT, lock, stock, & barrel. The whole shibang.

(On that note they need to release all the musicals + 4kids series on DVD)

Turtles Forever originally aired on CW in November 2009 and it was created by that studio. I did not know know that it was Nickelodeon that had released it on DVD in 2010 until today.

4kids created it, & purchased the rights to that 5 hour slot on CW Saturday mornings. CW had nothing to do with developing the film or owning part of it, as far as I know.

I wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I tend to participate in the running across the strip of hot coals with bare feet at parties.

What the hell is with all of these free movie tickets? First Crush (a friend of mine who works for a vending company came across a couple of the free tickets and gave them to me) and now this? How do they expect the movie to make money with all of these free tickets.

Soooo

The $5 off does work in combination with other deals.

I can get a 2 liter, 2 large 2 topping pizzas, and breadsticks for just under $20

A lot of these companies PAY to be associated with the film...they make a lot of money that way. Man of Steel made a lot of money that way. And plus the companies giving away the free tickets have to purchase the ticket themselves I would assume....

And what really sucks is that you can't even bring it into the theater with you. What better way to watch a TMNT movie than with an ice cold coke and a slice of pizza.

Well, at least my theater serves pizza, I wonder if they're going to have any specials.

[Leo656]

Ugh, movie theater pizza. Why not just throw in some ice cold nachos with hardened candle wax "cheese" and a bottle of Pepto Bismol and complete the set?

Depends on the theater.

I actually rather enjoyed Studio Movie Grill's pizzas when they did all you can eat option on Thursday nights. They moved it, though. I think because of the midnight showing crowds taking advantage of a good deal.

But it wasn't bad. Thinner crust, which I always thought had a good flavor of actually tasting like dough, and good toppings. Your first was a little smaller than a restaurant small and the rest were basically about between a small and a personal pizza, but you could order more as you liked. One and a second was enough for me!

I haven't had one in a long time, though. They may be sucktastic now.

Yeah, the theater closest to me has damn good food, and they have something called the Movie Premiere, where you can watch a movie and have drinks and even eat steaks.
