    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Speaking of the originals, I got TMNT Ultimate Collection Vol. 3 for my birthday about a month ago. To be honest, IDW's Ultimate Collections are insanely overpriced, reprinting only seven issues for $50, and they don't offer a cheaper alternative either. I'm very lucky to have gotten TMNT: The...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    But Don's still a techie in the original comics. He plays an integral role in defeating the Mousers in Baxter Stockman's debut, helping April shut them down via the computer system, and figures out how to bypass TCRI's security systems. I don't know what you mean by "accomplished scientist," but...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I've given up on BayTurtles. You're wasting your breath complaining about it; Bay's films make oodles of money, so there's no stopping it at this point, no matter how bad it sounds (and holy moley, does it sound bad). On a different note, I just read the first TPB of IDW's TMNT reboot last...

    New All-Muppet Museum?

    A PERMANENT Henson gallery at the Museum of the Moving Image? I went there two years ago to see Jim Henson's Fantastic World, the traveling Muppet exhibit, and it was a really cool museum. They had some cool movie props, like the Tyrell building from Blade Runner and Freddy Krueger's sweater...

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    Sam Raimi's Spider-man 2. The first one was okay, the third one was awful, but I thought the 2nd was fantastic, and Alfred Molina did a great job as my fav supervillain, Doc Ock. Also, there will never be a better J. Jonah Jameson than J.K. Simmons. People like to dump all over Raimi's...

    What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes

    Dark Knight Rises; Nolan said and did everything he wanted to with Batman in TDK. DKR was just Nolan going through the motions and cranking out the third movie the studio demanded of him. The whole "nuke the city" plot was so contrived and cliche it was sickening, and Bane wasn't half as...

    James Gandolfini Passes Away

    Saw it in the paper this morning and was genuinely shocked. Only 51, relatively young. Great actor.

    Wish list for cameos in the next Muppet movie

    Seconded. Paul or Ringo or both, considering how many Beatles songs the Muppets did on the original show, Bill Murray, and Simon Pegg.

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    J.J. Abrams is a true master of keeping his projects under wraps. Oh, there will always be speculation, but I didn't know for sure Khan was the villain in Into Darkness until I saw the movie. To contrast, Amazing Spider-man 2 is under way, and there's been so many "leaked" set pics, either they...

    Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

    I've never read them, but the Legacy of the Force series apparently takes place 40 years after the original trilogy. Given the popularity of that book series, if they're doing a time skip and having the original cast reprise their roles anyway it wouldn't be a bad idea to draw inspiration from...

    I saw "This is the End Yesterday." SPOILERS. It's the literal Biblical apocalypse, with people falling into giant holes to heck, all the good people getting raptured, and giant demons walking the Earth. Surprisingly, at no point does it bash Christianity, even if it has fun with the whole...

    MSTies unite!

    Thanks for the update, this is the first time I heard it. I don't believe we own the movie so I'll be buying the Special Edition for sure.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    Yes, my brother and I played Battlefront 2 for hours on end, and I've been dying for Battlefront 3. Hopefully they don't radically change the format. I just want them to ad more unlockable Heroes (Lando, obviously), make the stages even bigger, have ground-to-space combat (which was in the 1st...

    As one of the biggest comic book fans on this site, I must confess I have a hard time caring for Superman. It's hard to care about a superhero who's so powerful his villains seem like the underdogs. Just judging from the trailer, it looks like the movie is going to be incredibly slow, with...

    How to Spend a Muppety Day in Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Dude, I saw a video of the Gremlin's ride, and it looks awesome:D. So there was going to be a "Great Muppet Movie Ride?" Was the original "Great Movie Ride" going to have Muppets? I went on the GMR when I went to Hollywood Studios this year, I felt like it's in desperate need of an update, and...

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    There's been a couple of Star Wars film "announcements" over the last few days, but it basically amounts to "we're starting filming soon" and "we're staying true to the original trilogy," nothing groundbreaking. What IS groundbreaking was EA DICE showing a trailer for what appears to be...

    How to Spend a Muppety Day in Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I think the Maroon Cartoon billboard is in the shopping district when you first enter the park. I think the Acme warehouse-themed store, which even has the hanging ton of bricks that Greasy drops on Roger, is near the lifesized Carbonite Chamber replica. I could see how you might miss it, and I...

    Yes, even my favorite artist/ creator, Stan Lee, co-creator of almost every Marvel superhero, has his faults. He seems to forget that he created the Marvel Universe in collaboration with great artists such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and John Romita Sr. I've heard Kirby and his family really...

    I feel kinda bad for people who read Ender's Game when they were kids and it was one their favorite books, and then the guy who wrote their favorite book pretty much turns into a Nazi, and now they're ashamed to let anyone find out they loved the series, because people take that to mean they...

    How to Spend a Muppety Day in Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I saw Beau's taxi, did not see Jason and Amy's clothes. Where is it? Maybe if they labeled it better I could have found it. But yes, I noticed a fair amount of Roger Rabbit stuff, such as the outside store made up to look like the Acme Factory in the film's climax, the Maroon Cartoon billboard...
