Donnie's expressions/dialogue is the best part of the trailers/promos so far.

Even my girlfriend who was not a fan of the new designs originally, has come around to being on board after seeing one of the TV spots last night. I'm trying not to get too excited and keep my expectations in check, but I'm getting excited damnit.

That's because Donatello is the best turtle and always has been.

I'm watching the TMNT documentary on Netflix.
Laird said that April O'Neil is named and modeled after his high-school sweetheart and first wife. Eastman said that Casey Jones is based on Kurt Russell's character from Big Trouble in Little China.
I'm unsure if this was known. News to me.

Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
When the second issue came out, it sold more than The Avengers. I knew the cartoon was popular, but I underestimated how popular the original comic was.
That explains why he's a tough guy and a fucking dork.
I'll have you know I know how to par-tay.
Hmm... Can't find it on Netflix.

I had the same issue until I realized it's only on the Canadian Netflix. There are browser plug ins available that allow you to access the Canadian Netflix if you google.

Holy shit. David Wise (screenwriter) had originally wanted Michelangelo to be "street" instead of using surfer lingo. In fact, the very first line a turtle says in the original animated series is "what". I'm unsure if this made it into the cartoon, but from the screenshot of the screenplay they are showing, Donatello says: "Chill out, homeboy."
Hahaha. I guess the new movie is closer to his original vision. He must be pleased !

oh WOW. Wise got the "cowabunga" line from Snoopie. There was a comic in which Snoopie was surfing and uttered the iconic line. Wise took it and had one of the turtles say it while he was surfing and it stuck.
edit: guess who showed up. Liquid Snake himself, Cam Clarke.

Huh, I didn't know that.
I should give the documentary another try. I stopped watching because it got really really slow.

Uncle Phil was the voice of Shredder !?

Cam Clarke is always fucking Leonardo. He's just british Leonardo when talking in MGS.
If he wanted the real surfer lingo where's my grommets and Swoods?
he's the youngest?
Yup. He got the short end of the stick.

Wow, Judith Hoag still lookin' good at nearing 50.
Oh man, she should cameo as April's mom in the new movie. That would be charming.

Mikey was beaten with the ugly stick non-stop, he looks more like Fionna than Shrek though... i want to get excited for this movie, but i can't because the character models are atrocious.
Dat Pizza cheese needs to go somewhere
Looks like the cover of TMNT #1:
Aparently this movie is like "lets do a reference to some classic tmnt thing" and then they changed in the last minute because "whatever the old one was bad anyway"

That Turtle Power documentary is AWESOME. Damn near cried at the end. Also Jim Henson is a God. How they were able to pull off those turtles suits is crazy. They were a lot more advanced then i thought.
Don't know if this was posted but:
The follow-up to Ninja Rap has been released
I kind of like it. But the bass needs to be cranked up.

I've been reading the visual history of TMNT so it's funny seeing the "x did y... what!?!?" posts. If you like the doc, check out the book. It might seem redundant (though I haven't seen the film yet), but it's an excellent package that shares a lot of unknown details and even has inserts glued to pages because I guess there wasn't enough room for even more scans of memorabilia haha. One such insert is an idea for a rapping Dontello toy with "rap" lyrics written above him that are pretty dirty haha. Seemed more like an inside joke than something they planned on having him say. I'll edit with the line when I get a chance.

I liked that trailer. TMNT work well with that gangsta vibe.

Holy shit that Shredder fight.
I have no problem with the Foot Clan going in that direction, seems like a natural thing to do.

these look pretty good. i've accepted the re-designs and can live with them. now i have a problem with their voices. they just don't seem to have the same amount of character that they had in the original film. either way, i'm pretty excited for this at this point. it looks like it's going to be a fun movie.

Never knew these as well, which kinda fits since Casey seems to get tossed into the most bizarre situations with the Turtles.
Hope this gets released on iTunes, def. want to watch this!
...and one of these days I will get around to re-reading the original comic =_=

This is looking better everytime I see more footage. I'll probably try and catch this as long as it doesnt get totally panned by everyone.
