They dropped the ball on the Ninja Turtles

OK off topic and something that you don't care to hear and no doubt probably going to get me into trouble but as one supposed "adult" to another would it truly be asking too,too much for you to give enough of a fuck to use capitals and stretching the boundaries of likelihood, proofread your posts so avoid stuff like "no broke"?

Seriously man,shit like that makes me question the point of the continuing existence of Humanity.

As for the Turtles and having endured the first two movies ,I think the problem lies in something originally intended to be counter-culture and subversive,due to greed,becomes mass market fodder.
So basically you can't break something that's already been broken.

I also know that isn't what you meant.

[slyfox250]

they ruined donny

The only funny thing on that movie was the credits

[bubjet]

I couldnt even make it to the credits. I turned off the movie after wasting about 30 minutes of my life.

[Snee]

The dropped the ball just making it.

They dropped the ball again by letting Michael Bay direct it.

They dropped the ball one more time by casting Megan Fox.

They dropped the ball yet again by going with that shitty script.

Then they dropped the ball by using that shitty design for the turtles.





The only thing I really liked about the whole thing is that the Shredder actually sort of reminds me of how he was in the very first comics.
