Everyone enjoys a little "Bayhem" now and then... smirk

I agree. I liked the Transformers Films

[EmperorDinobot]

I like Michael Bay films though. I love the so called 'BAYSPLOSIONSSSS'.

Truth be told, there are very few movies I dislike. I like watching everything.

Do you know about Michael Bay's plans for the new TNMT? I heard he was changing it so that the turtles were aliens from space or something like that :/

I guess Michael Bay's films are pretty funny, considering how bad they are.

They aren't gonna do it due to increasingly negative fandom backlash.
But tbh, I wouldn't have cared. I don't care about those turtles. Most kid who were slightly older than me were either into TMNT, and maybe Transformers. I was into Batman, JP and PR.
However, I don't think that origins for well established characters should EVER be changed, unless they're making some elseworlds tale or something. This project, being a big budget film, shouldn't stray from the origins, as the fandom would be its biggest audience. Never piss off the fandom.

The only Michael Bay movies I can say I actually liked were "The Rock" and "The Island". Aside from those I can't say I particularly cared for the rest. I saw the first "Transformers" back when it came out in the theater and still consider it one of the worst movies I payed to see, I haven't watched the other two.

As far as I know a TMNT movie is still in the works but that script was dropped, thank the powers that be.

I spoke once with the creators of the original turtles comic books and I have to say I doubt they would allow such a thing to be given life. Their original vision or idea for the storyline...was what would have happened if the barrel of chemicals that fell on Daredevil had rolled down a sewer opening into the sewage system into a rodent infested area. From there the rest is history....I cannot see them standing aside and letting the turtles suddenly become aliens.

That came up at one point--they sold the rights, and lost the ability to have any control.

Forgive me for saying this...but I find that claim somewhat hard to believe...

Anyway, if you don't believe me, check this.

There's been a huge fan backlash against this already.

What claim is it you are having problems with? I missed something I guess. If you are suggesting I had never spoken with them, how poorly considered. Eastman and Laird are fixtures in the United States at many comic book conventions and various fan events, as they are well known in the comic book fandom. These are not some form of unattainable gods or something for Petes sake. They come to many conventions, and industry events to autograph books, discuss comic books in general and speak about their own experiences. Really...what an odd thing to say .

[tyrantqueen]

The claim that is highlighted in bold. I struggle to believe that you spoke with the guys who created the TMNT comic book. This is the internet, where people can say anything :/

Why should I believe you?

I don't want to sound mean, but those are my honest feelings on the matter.

Err gee whiz, for starters, why would someone lie about such a simple mundane thing? To add to which they appear at shows quite often and have met literally THOUSANDS if not millions of fans, and spoken with many of them as they autographed comics, and discussed the Turtles.  It is not like I said Napoleon or the Beatles...sheesh. I have also met the man who created the character The Green lantern, Martin Nodell, from the golden age of comics, as well as Julius Schwartz, the man who recreated all of the original super heroes from the original golden age, into their silver age counterparts. I met Jack Kirby, who was responsible in many ways for most of the super heroes you see around you today, from The Hulk, to Iron Man, to the Avengers, and the X-men. They are all deceased now and are much more unique to suggest having met than Eastman and Laird.....I think in the collecting thread I showed a picture of my prize set of comics from marvel...Hulk 1, signed by said Jack Kirby now deceased, etc. Honestly, I am unsure how you think the comic industry operates....but yes these are people that make appearances often.

I apologise for not believing your statements earlier. It was late and I should have gone to bed. I am sorry for being so harsh.

I guess I just find it difficult to believe it when people say that they've met someone famous (or semi famous)

Hey I can accept that, we all get tired, grumpy and make mistakes. I do it often myself and wish I had considered perhaps a little better. Besides, you gave me some AWESOME Psittacosaurus pictures , and I never forget things like that...you are wonderful lady, and sorry if I offended you as well. Now, did I ever tell you about the time I met Roy Chapman Andrews?   runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[EmperorDinobot]

I met Batman once. He beat me up.
I ought to sue him and the city.

I'm the friend of a friend of a guy who knows Mel Gibson...

[CityRaptor]

Does having several lectures by one of the guys who wrote "Biology auf the Sauropod Dinosaurs" count?

[amargasaurus cazaui]

Now that does make me jealous, I love that book !! Which one?
