Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles

I seriously doubt any of you who are reading this hasn't heard about this a million times by now, but, because I'm me, I now obliged to blog about it. So Michael Bay, best known for directing Pearl Harbor and the Transformers movies, has decided to remake/reboot the TMNT franchise, and he's making a few changes. For one thing, they're not mutants any more, they're aliens. Are you kidding me Bay, your messing with the title here! And Donatello is going to be a girl (I'm not offended by that because I'm not sexist cretin, but I'm sure someone somewhere, most likely a 40 year old Brony in his mother's basement, weeped upon hearing this). Granted, I never actually watched TMNT when I was small(er), so it's really just the part of me that hates Michael Bay that's PO'ed about this movie. What can I say beyond I don't like him. He takes beloved childhood cartoons and craps all over them. Just look what he did to Transformers! Okay, I didn't watch that as a kid either, but those were three horrendously bad films and five hours of my life I'll never get back. He really represents what is wrong with movies today: a plotless, 90 minute combo of explosions and fart jokes. I'm unclear on why studios keep greenlighting his pitches. I'm just going to establish this now: should this movie actually get made (there's always the possibility it could toil in development hell for eternity ala Jurassic Park 4) then nothing short of being paid some absurd amount of money will make me see it.

Well, now I that I've got all my negative energy for the week out of my system, be sure to comment and subscribe.
