Michael Bay Says That The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Will Be Aliens. I do not like this change, and want my childhood memories left alone.

And yes this is how I remember them, why do you ask?

But of course!

Re: I learned I am an old man who fears change. Get off my l

I absolutely love how this is the way you remember the ninja turtles.

Also - no. Ninja Turtles are not aliens. Frickin' whippersnapper Michael Bay thinks he can do whatever he wants.

Why the fuck is Michael Bay even talking about the Ninja Turtles? Do we need to start a "Keep Bay Away" petition?
He should not be allowed near the franchise (Unless Eastman and Laird receive a huge amount of royalty). Why can't he go write some other hack shit like "Pubescent Alien Samurai Salamanders?"

Did people not learn anything from the 4 other Ninja Turtles movies?

Whoa! The first one was good. Granted I was hoping to see Krang, but I understand budget restraints and story development, etc. Still think they should have included him in the second instead of Vanilla Ice.

When I watch old TMNT episodes, I laugh every time Shredder says "What the devil?!" (you don't hear that anymore) or when he says "Shut up, you ignoramus!" :lol:

Can we label Michael Bay a pedophile since he's decided to fuck the best parts of my childhood?

I did like the first but I wanted to see Rocksteady and Beebop and that's definitely not what I got. I did however get that damn theme song stuck in my head for weeks...

I vote michael bay, james cameron, any and all avatar and tmnt footage, toys, lunchboxes and related merchandise be sealed into a rocket and fired into the sun. The world would be better off without both franchises and both overhyped directors. Titanic? Every copy in the rocket, NOW! Same goes for that pile of dogshit Pearl Harbour.

Re: I learned I am an old man who fears change. Get off my l

So pissed about the alien thing too. It's bad enough Hollywood has stopped making anything new but the least they can do is not fuck it up when they do these remakes. It's in the name Mr. Bay teenage MUTANT ninja TURTLES.

Also agree about the rocket, although I have never seen titanic and never will

Sadly Michael Bay only understands BAYSPLOSIONS!!!!!!!

Re: I learned I am an old man who fears change. Get off my l

yeah it's like you can have a director who produces quality, or a director who just says "plot? we don't need no plot we got special effects"...but you can't have both?

Well, if things go tits up, Cameron won't be with us long.

I agree on Titanic and didn't bother with Avatar, but I do respect Cameron as a film maker because I know he CAN do a good movie. And this is as much for scientific discovery as anything else.

 

[Jupiter551]

Re: I learned I am an old man who fears change. Get off my l

I do respect Cameron as a film maker because I know he CAN do a good movie.

Conversely, the fact that he CAN do a good movie and instead does Titantic and Avatar makes me respect him even less.

How old does it make me that Those turtles were what I bitched at my child nephews way back when as "your new kinda cartoons that are nothing like real cartoons" when they told me that the roadrunner and bullwinkle were boring and lame?

Fucking kids.... wouldnt know quality cartoons if they bit em on the ass.

Harumph!

I liked Titanic too, though I've always been a sucker for sad movies.

But movies that really put a lump in my throat are The Green Mile and My Girl. :crybaby:

Quick! Someone make a 'Movies that put a lump in your throat' thread. :thumbleft:

'Scuse me Mister, but just because I possess a vagina doesn't mean Titanic did anything for me. :lol: It left me cold. :-| and, when, for the 30th time my shitty pissy teeny mates attempted to drag me along to the cinema to view this repugnant cinematic attempt at 'Emotion on the High Seas' I would feign mental breakdown and foam at the mouth to get out of it.

Give me Das Boot any day of the week. Now, that is a fucking film. :dance:

But what's not to like about Titanic??? Yeah I don't have a clue either. I couldn't be dragged to see it.

Re: I learned I am an old man who fears change. Get off my l

Haven't seen Titanic or Avatar so I got that going for me.

The first TMNT movie I saw in theaters as a surprise with my pops. Raphael vs the foot on top of the apartment is still one of my favorite moments in cinematic history. ahhhh a fellow chucker ehhh? The 2nd movie started to go further to the children demographic route and the third movie is like the third godfather, it doesn't exist.

As for this current michael bay bastardization of a series I grew up with, it makes me sad and angry because i fear anytime TMNT get's brought up to a younger generation or people unfamiliar their first thought is going to go to this movie as opposed to anything else. However here's hoping it leads to a TMNT video game that has no relation to the movie what so ever, like the transformers games that have come out-war for cyberton/fall of cyberton.

Re: I learned I am an old man who fears change. Get off my l

My biggest fear however is the main story is Shia Labeouf playing Casey Jones and his trial and tribulations with his love interest April Oneil, with the turtles and the foot only appearing when explosions are taking place. how ninja's are going to cause all these explosions? Michael Bay will find a way.
