Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - ka-BAM!
Michael Bay has announced that he's going to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie reboot.
In this re-imagining, the Turtles won't be four pet turtles mutated by radioactive goo, but aliens visiting earth. This announcement was not met with favorable fan reaction.
Most notable was the statement of Robbie Rist, who voiced Michelangelo in the 1990 live action film:
You probably don't know me but I did some voice work on the first set of movies that you are starting to talk about sodomizing.

Okay I was going to play Devil's Advocate here but then I read the article. Good lord. On the bright side: as the article points out, this was never a very serious franchise. It's not like they're presenting the relationship between Batman and Robin with sexual overtones, or having a Superman who stalks Lois. Ha ha Hollywood would never do that.
TMNT don't seem serious now because we are older. When I was 7 that shit was pretty much scripture to me though. I don't like the fact that dudes can buy a name and attach it to any random ol shit and trick the public into seeing it because its something they're already emotionally invested in. I also hate that its going to work on me too, you put ninja and turtle on something and ill prolly check it out.
Were the original TMNT movies any good? Certainly not as I remember them.
