ill have to say a tear falls from my eye when i think of how cool Eastman and Laird's old black and white "chop the foot to peices" turtles would have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better to base a movie off of.
ill still watch it, and admittedly enjoy it. but i still have always thought the kiddie twist to TMNT was a sad change that has not been able to be undone and likely never will.
the first time i saw ninja turtles in a comic:
It was in the high mountains, the turtles were surrounded by the foot clan, outnumberd 4 to 1. as Shredder watched from a cliff in his regal suit of samurai armor and a cold stare the turtles decimated his numbers in a snow clad frenzy of ninja dismemberment. all of them weilding razor sharp katana
sadly one of the turtles lost his hand to an agile foot member and the turtles had to disengage the battle at the command of splinter.
ah to see this style of turtles resurected....but alas, modern day kid B.S. has ruined what at one time was a classic
but ya, ill still watch and enjoy the kiddied up TMNT
curious, am i the only one who remembers how the ninja turtles really should be?
A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

I used to LOVE the Turtles. After Yojimbo, it seemed like it they ran out of ideas. The voices started changing, and the plots were horrible. I was young at the time so I moved on to shows like Batman and Pinky and the Brain.

Speaking of oldschool cartoons, who remembers Battle of the Planet featuring G-Force?
Turns out the studio behind the latest TMNT is working on a CGI version of GACHAMAN as the cartoon as originally titled in Japan. check out their selection on the "OUR FILMS" menue.
Highlander & Astroboy as well . . .
i just got back from seeing the movie.
the animation for the humans reminded me of the incredibles.
the animation on the turtles and stuff close up looked really good.
the story was good.
the movie i wasnt expecting much, but i thought it was awesome.
i say the movie is awesome. go see it.
and pangquan I remember those turtles best, but i doubt we will ever see that kind of turtle comic again. image tried in the late nineties but it didnt last past issue 30.

Or even StarBlazers!!!

yea, I know, I'm way late.
i don't get out much.
just saw this at the local brew and view, with pizza ("Funky Chicken": chicken, bacon and red onions w/ bbq sauce) and beer ("Ninja Porter" [no sh!t]...used to be called the 'Rook Porter' but changed the name...i guess it is the year of the ninja) and it was totally awesome...it's in my top 5 movies of all time now.
anywho...the cap of the night was when I saw the new t-shirts this pizza/brewery/movie joint had printed up for their newly named porter.
On the front: "Ninja Porter"
on the back
wait for it
"Ninja Please"
"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

jeez, im surprised no one has done a land of the lost re-make on the big screen yet.
im not sure if i like the idea of gatchaman being re-done, although the turtles looked good in commercials, im sure the company doing the animation will do it top notch but theres just something breathtaking about the tatsunoku anime style
martial arts and music share the same principles, both wrestle with complex chords and rare melodies.
