I wasn't really enthused about Gentlemen Broncos, but you have me at Krull, which, by the way, I'm surprised hasn't been remade into an attempted summer blockbuster yet. #gentlemenbroncos

you want regular? or menthol?

also, my local theater is about to do a double-feature night in 35mm of Dune (original 1974 theatrical cut) and Krull. a theme they're referring to as "spicy krullers." #gentlemenbroncos

I bought the boxed set of TMNT recently and have been watching the movies with my daughter. I noticed Sam as one of the kids and had a good laugh since he was in Moon and will be in Iron Man 2. I guess everyone starts out somewhere. #gentlemenbroncos

I know that its fact, but I just can't hear the Raph voice coming from him. And then knowing that he doing those moves in the suit too? Axplode. #gentlemenbroncos

I was already looking forward to this but any connection to Krull, no matter how tenuous, makes it a must-see for me. I love that movie to this day. #gentlemenbroncos

Good news? We'll stick with "news" and wait to see whether it's good or bad when the series debuts. The most recent animated series was all kinds of awesome...up until the moment that 4Kids decided that it would be several more kinds of awesome to have them all get teleported into the future and team up with a little kid. Then it defied logic and managed to both suck and blow simultaneously. I stopped my DVD collection with the unaired Ninja Tribunal season. The previous four seasons were better, but it was still watchable enough to buy.

I just have a hard time imagining the network that slaughtered Ren & Stimpy managing to do better than Flush Forward. #teenagemutantninjaturtles

you mean its hard not to feel sorry for eastman & laird as to how they completely neutered a great comic book into kiddy fodder? #teenagemutantninjaturtles

@Facter: they actually have been deeply involved since the begining of animated TMNT. they actually designed all those whacky vehicles and characters for the toy lines as well. these days, Eastman has sold his half of the property to Larid (shortly before their big comeback in the early 2000s) and contents himself with running Heavy Metal into the ground #teenagemutantninjaturtles

@Lassus: Not Eastman so much. He sold the last of his rights a while back, and doesn't make any more from adaptations. Not that it matters, he made enough money to last forever on before that. And he owns Heavy Metal Magazine and is working on a new movie there, provided it gets funding. #teenagemutantninjaturtles

@disatess: The 2003 series was pretty close to the comics.

I'm still surprised they manage to show Leo decapitating Shredder. #teenagemutantninjaturtles

I'll be honest, I have mixed feelings about this, I am hoping to hear some thoughts from the Mirage people, but most comments officially seem to be from the 4Kids side.

I want to say that any new version on TV is good, while the most recent series started out great, it started to drift a bit in later seasons. So there is that, and while I have seen some concern about Nick toning things down, there have definitely been some "edgier" Nick toon properties, Invader Zim, Angry Beavers, Avatar, so I will reserve judgment till we start seeing something concrete.

I think this definitely bodes well with the collaboration now of the Viacom Paramount & Nick duo to put out a good movie, I think all the previous statements that the creative heads have made still stand, a look to a Live-Action film, based on the original story, back to basics a'la Batman Begins, and with the success of Where the Wild Things Are, the comments that they would be utilizing the same suit-body + cg-face design has even more solidity.

All I want to be carefull of, and the Variety article seemed a bit vague on this, that the Mirage people still have control of the comics medium, I dont mind if Nick has taken over the television medium from 4Kids, but I want the comic to continue on as it has.
