I used to be pretty into Ninja Turtles, but lately I'm just not feeling it. The new movie wasn't great and most of the other kids have moved on to, like, Naruto or whatever.
Here is the picure i made, it sucks, it didnt take long, but it is the first true thing to come out of me in a long, long time.

I haven't seen the new movie, but I'm certain it doesn't have the same mature feel as the three live-action films, which is quite disheartening.
The animated series was awesome too, I think we had made countless recorded tapes of it. I still remember the theme song. I've resist watching it back on DVD, 'cause I'm not sure if the show has mature well. I prefer keeping the memory in my head of an awesome show that "wowed" me when I was a kid.
And the action figures, were they awesome or not? Our parents gave us the Turtles sewer and we were psyched (although I've always been a little jealous of one of our friends who had both the Technodrome and the Turtles Van, but that's just because I wanted them all. The sewer was awesome. Too bad we didn't had the green goo that could fall on Foot Soldiers from the top of the structure).
We also had Transformers-like figures of Bebop and Rocksteady (we could switch them between their human and animal form).
I miss the Turtles so much. I haven't seen the new movie yet. I was hoping it'd be good, but I keep hearing bad comments about it (including DMAC's, so... I'm kind of disappointed and I haven't seen it yet :P).
It makes me feel nostalgic, and also realize that the Turtles were something awesome that none of the crap kids watch on TV today can compare. When I see shows like Spider Riders on Teletoon, I wonder what the hell happened to cool TV shows for youngsters. Heck, I miss the saturday morning!
I remember when our old TV station for kids here used to play Turtles, Reboot and Transformers back to back, followed by Looney Tunes and a whole lot more. That was quality saturday mornings.
rfilyaw: mature feel for the movies? I can agree 100% with that for the first title, even the second one... In fact, I agree with your whole comment but I certainly can't put that stample on the third one, which was total garbage. The costume of the turtles weren't even the same and looked like crap. The screenplay was horrible, with dialogues so bad they made me cringe (and I was only 8 years old). I never count the third one as being a real Turtles movie. It was just a poorly attempt to keep this franchise alive on the big screen, and it failed.
(The review of the third Turtles movie made by the Angry Video Game Nerd kind of resume a little of my thoughts about this :P)
that is a new one. Good going there champ
Black frosting always tastes odd for some reason. Perhaps because, it's black frosting.
