Ok I do like the Transformers movies though I just wish he didn't make 'em as "dirty" as he did. Nothing wrong with the action though. I just wish they were more "pg" than pg13. But the action does make up for it. And the fact they have the original Optimus Prime voice actor makes up for any faults in the movies in my mind - it just feels right when he's in it.

--------------

However - this is the last straw. DON'T MESS WITH THE TURTLES!!!

Dude this was - next to Star Wars and Transformers - a BIG BIG part of my time growing up. Middle school and early highschool if you must know.

He can't make them live action alien turtles! He can't!

I mean aren't the 3 live action 90's movies enough? I even like but don't love the cgi tmnt reboot from a few years ago. Even though the eyes are too far apart and Splinter just doesn't have the right look...

But you can't fundamentally change the story background this drastically.

I eventually grew to like Daniel Craig as James Bond so I guess anything is possible. But at this early state I say NO TO MICHAEL BAY AND TANT (Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles - YUCK!)

LOCK HIM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!!!

EDIT -

Can we get Christopher Nolan to do it instead? I like the Batman Begins and the Dark Knight and will see Rises when it comes out.

Why can't he do a Turtle movie?

Or how about Bryan Singer ala Xmen?

or Steven Summers - Did I get that Right? The guy that directed the first two Brendan Fraser Mummy movies???

They would not do this to the Turtle franchise. They wouldn't.

Edit 2 - what next is he gonna somehow con George Lucas to do a Star Wars movie? I mean what is it gonna be Wayne's World in Space?

[Noahtuck]

Now I hate Michael Bay

As opposed to who ?

Tim Burton ?

LOL!!!

I like the Batman Begins and the Dark Knight and will see Rises when it comes out.

That's kind of funny, because i remember way back when, when Batman Begins first came out you did not like it because it seemed so/to "dark" and i was like, that's the way he was...... Not some cartoony character....

You seemed to like the Tim Burton cartoony version's of Batman.....

I'm just busting your chops......


I really like the old original turtles movies, this is the first i have heard or seen anything about a new TMNT movie.....

DAMN IT!!!
Thanks a lot!!!!
Now i am going to have to buy the TMNT movies on Bluray to watch them in HD, if they were released on Bluray!!!
As i already own them on dvd.
LOL!!!

EDIT:
Oh crap, they were!!!!!

Great!!!!
More bluray's to add to my ten's of thousands of dvd's!!!!!!!!

Thanks A Lot Yoda!!!!!!!

LOL!!!!

Well just like Daniel Craig as Bond I have grown to appreciate The Dark Knight for what it is. I just can't watch it over and over like a good action flick with a light premise. To me its not that kind of movie. I can watch it once in awhile to get the feel for it. I do own it on dvd and bluray fyi.

'm just busting your chops.....

No prob...

Sorry first I heard about it too.

Do you have the 08 or 09 CGI one? I have it on dvd. Not bad just not the same vibe as the 90s movies or original cartoons. Not far off mind you just not that same look you know? The one with Patrick Stewart doing the voice of the main bad guy that is really not bad. Also fun having Lawrence Fishburn doing the intro voice over - MORPHEUS!!

SOrry I didn't mean to go that route

Yeah I know they were released on bluray early last year I think.

I have a certain rule that I try not to rebuy movies on bluray unless they are on my "ultimate" collection list.

It might surprise you to know I have not bought the Star Wars Blurays at all - prequels or originals. I DO have the bonus discs though. I bought those on Ebay. I had to have more background - can't get enough of it for Star Wars.

I do have Matrix on dvd and hd-dvd but I ended up buying Matrix Reloaded on Bluray as well as the hd-dvd of Reloaded has NEVER worked on my xbox 360 hddvd drive. I can't even access it when I hook it up to my computer so I can't rip and convert it to h264.

I am tempted to buy the first Transformers movie (michael bay yes i know but I already mentioned that earlier) on bluray as I have it on hd-dvd but it does work on my hddvd drive so I'm holding off for now - I actually don't own it on dvd. I have the other two on bluray though.

For new movies I tend to buy the blockbusters on bluray and the lesser ones on dvd. When I can I shoot for the bluray/dvd combo pack if it has one.

[Noahtuck]

No, i was saying DAMN IT to the fact that i did not know they released the original 3 TMNT movies on bluray and that i would now have to get them on Bluray!!!!
LOL!!

Do you have the 08 or 09 CGI one?

Ya lost me there......
The original DVD's i have of the TMNT movies are way older than 2008/2009!!!

Or am i missing something ?

But anyways, i have never heard anything about a new TMNT movie.....

Making a new TMNT with new people or new voices is like making the Crow 2!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!

[the_man_one]

yoda i have a better option : let siembieda & long do the tmnt... the originals... by the way the original batman was cartoonie... anyone remember the smiling batman drawn by kane?

[yoda313]

Yep sure are:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453556/

Its from 2007 actually.

let siembieda & long do the tmnt... the originals

I have no idea what that is a reference too. Do you mean the original comics? I never read any of them. I guess they were supposed to be really violent compared to the cartoon version that came before the live action movies of the 90s.

[Noahtuck]

Okay, I see what you are talking about now.

I was talking about the "Original" TMNT movies from back in the 90's

[yoda313]

I was talking about the "Original" TMNT movies from back in the 90's

I kinda figured. But hey its still 'da turtles dude!

Funny thing looking at the cast list I either forgot or never knew that nolan north did the voice for Rapheal. He does the voices for Desmond in Assassins Creed and Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. I'll have to watch a minute of the tmnt animated movie again just to listen for it.

[Noahtuck]

I was just confused because you were talking 08/09 and then saying yeah it was later, 2007...

And i was like, I am pretty sure i had TMNT on dvd WAAAAAAAY before 2007!!!
LOL!!!

The one thing that always stuck out to me was Corey Feldman as the voice for Donatello.

I'm going to have to check out the new CGI one you were talking about....
But now i still have to buy the original 3 on Bluray to watch them again even though i have the 3 original dvd's....
DOHH!!!

I'm pretty sure the bluray box set is a four pack including the cgi movie. Could be wrong but I think it is.

Well they kept changing the voices for the turtles in the three movies. Personally I still think of the voice cast of the first live action movie as the "definitive" turtles voices - including splinter naturally

Aw man I have to watch them again now

edit - yep all 4 in bluray box set:

http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Anniversary/dp/B001RIZE3M/ref=sr_1_...2559058&sr=8-1

Damn 25th anniversary in 2009??? Man I feel old.... Though the Transformers g1 dvd release set is a 25th anniversary edition too - the ones I bought not the first release rhino sets but the other ones that came out a few years ago.

Nope, you are correct!!

I did a search the other day and i saw the new box set that said it contained the 4 TMNT movies
And i was like, someone is high as they only ever did 3 TMNT movies!!!!!

Then I looked again and saw the new box set contained the 3 original movies and the new CGI movie.....
WTF!!!
Talk about re-releasing old stuff with new stuff just to confuse everyone!!!

Hey!!!
Lets release the 25th edited version of STAR WARS!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!

[yoda313]

Lets release the 25th edited version of STAR WARS!!!!!!!!
LOL!!!!

Nah we're only at 20 right now

[the_man_one]

yes yoda that reference is about the comics.... those 2 guys are the creaters of the comics

[yoda313]

yes yoda that reference is about the comics.... those 2 guys are the creaters of the comics

Ok thanks for the confirmation. Obviously I don't know them by name.

[MeDiCo_BrUjO]

Dude, you hate Michael Bay?..... get ready for this: Donatello will be a chick!

DONATELLA DUUUUDE!!!... that sucks or what?

[yoda313]

Dude, you hate Michael Bay?

For messing with the turtles yes.

Frankly I didn't like the sleazing up of Transformers but at least the action was great. This was just too much for me.

You're joking about Donatello right? Please say yes

[Hoser Rob]

I'm too much of a geezer to get nostalgic / sentimental about TMNT, and I don't exactly hate Michael Bay. Now Roland Emmerich ...

I don't blame Hollywood for changing things like that for a younger and even more overstimulated generation. They may be able to get original fans to go to the theatres but they won't be buying all that merch ... though their kids might ...

Remember, the original Cars movie did the worst box office of any Pixar release, and all that merch they sold, which dwarfed the box office sales, was the only reason they did a sequel.

[yoda313]

Hey leave him alone! I liked Stargate, Independence Day and Godzilla - yes Godzilla even though I like the original TOHO Godzilla better.

Ok his newer ones like Day after Tomorrow wasn't a personal favorite its still a decent flick.

And I did like 2012 enough to buy the bluray used.

I'm too much of a geezer

Well can't help you there (just teasing )

I don't blame Hollywood for changing things like that for a younger and even more overstimulated generation. They may be able to get original fans to go to the theatres but they won't be buying all that merch ... though their kids might ...

Well I haven't bought any but I'm sure there were a lot of people my age that bought Transformers stuff when it came out again. What about Star Wars? I'm sure there were tons of older people that bought the merchandise for a trip down memory lane - probably not a lot but maybe a mini lightsaber or something just to relive the experience.

Remember, the original Cars movie did the worst box office of any Pixar release, and all that merch they sold, which dwarfed the box office sales, was the only reason they did a sequel.

Oh didn't know that.

Though I haven't seen either Cars movies. In fact I haven't seen too many of the newer cgi movies. They tend to all blend together and look the same after awhile. The awe value of the first Toy Story movie is long over.

I did see the Pirates band of misfits claymation movie though. Pretty good and fun too. I liked Wallace and Grommit and Chicken Run so it was a no-brainer to check it out.

I think they are out of ideas and he probably figures, why not aliens? I don't know. I am just guessing.
