these are great! now if i only had friends to send them to...

all this talk of "this island earth" and mystery science theater 3000 is making this movie even funnier. This is a show made in 1988, on public access, for almost no money, with robots intended to look like crap, and yet they are a million times better than anything in this movie. they should have gotten joel hodgson to do the damn robots, it would have cost less and at least could have had some camp value, instead of being overly serious towards the least threatening robots in history.

kind of looks like dream from sandman...

turn the control 18 degrees to the left!

I'm a bit late to this party, but I'll see if I can add anything. Despite the badness, I applaud this movie for its, shall we say, asimovian take on blade runner? There's something interesting about the less exciting world of these cops dealing with more run of the mill robot situations. It's actually a lot like the recent movie Automata, except that was a much more believable insurance adjuster inspecting claims. The every day reality of widespread robot use in the world is usually overlooked. Really looking into the robots though, why are these red chips necessary? Any computer is already completely dependant on its programming, so why couldn't any robot be programmed to kill someone? They already know to check robots for "modifications" so they quickly found these red banded microchips anyway. Are normal robots imbued with Asimov's 3 laws of robotics? This would have added a lot of depth of to the movie, and only takes a line or two. Also, how would every person have a distinct heat pattern??? Bodies are constantly changing temperature! Any time you get hot or cold the pattern would change, or when a body part is being used! And how exactly are these bullets being set to the heat pattern? So the gun has an infrared sight that is hooked up to an interface with the bullet so that when the trigger is pulled, whoever is in the sigh gets imprinted onto the bullet? Obviously you couldn't program them ahead of time because gene Simmons uses them on people he never would have known he needed to shoot.

talk about topical! naughty naughty tom selleck! http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/california-drought/no-crime-found-after-suit-accuses-tom-selleck-stealing-water-n388866?cid=sm_fb

if taylorannephoto is the next cameron h, then i aspire to one day be the next taylorannphoto. i'm gonna make that c&o cut one of these eps, or die trying! serioulsy though i need to watch this movie, it seems AMAZING

what are you, a targaryen?

I didn't know adam pally before this show, and i think he came off as kind of obnoxious and annoying. I remember June was trying to talk about something, and he completely interrupted her just so he could bring up his splinter karaoke bit, which felt so forced anyway. It was like he was thinking the whole time "oh man i can't wait to bring up my awesome joke about karaoke." it would have been funnier if it felt more natural. in general he was really laughing a bit too much at his own antics.

Alright, now you've got me thinking more about david warner and the ooze...They had no idea what this stuff did, lost a can down a sewer, and didn't care. 15 years later david warner meets these giant anthropomorphic turtles (raising a further question of why did the ooze make them more human, and why then did we not have talking samurai dandelions?), instantly puts it together that his ooze did this, and doesn't care at all. Scientifically, this stuff is absolutely amazing! the ability to manipulate DNA with that much power would change the whole world! Even if it was dangerous or eventually caused cancer, the study of it could have huge implications on disease, aging, evolution, etc. This guy would be set for life with grants flying out the wazoo if he let people know what he found. He is literally the worst scientist ever.

It still makes me laugh when I think about Pally's kid just going around randomly yelling "THEY ARE BABIES!" I want to show this to my future children in hopes that they will do that too. It'll be the new parenting method that sweeps the nation!

right, but that doesn't connect them to april's apartment or the pizzas, at least from keno's point of view. they're just some guys turtles hanging out on a roof

not to mention that that is a terrible dandelion prop. it looks like a paper towel tube with some strips of paper glued to it

In NYC delivery is on bikes, and some of them use scooters, so yes that is a real thing. I've lived in New Jersey and now New York, I've always gotten rice in these containers, though they are usually plain white. In new Jersey, most of the food came in them as well, though in NYC they are mostly plastic or metal trays.

There's a lot to take in here. You would think that he would have eventually shown up later at April's place with pizzas, saying "sorry these are late, someone took yours." I think Keno stepping on the toes is just a continuation of him being kind of a annoying prick, like the fat shaming a not even fat girl. Also, when he shows up, I'm pretty sure that "guy across the hall" is a ruse, right? Just so he had an excuse to show up. For that matter, how the hell did he piece together that the turtles were at April's? Just from the stolen pizza at the beginning? Everyone loves pizza, that doesn't mean anything! Maybe the movie is just fading too much from my memory, was there another scene that would have helped him figure it out? As for them being in hiding, while their few public interactions have gone relatively well, I think Splinter is worried that people in general would not like them, despite the heroics. It's pretty common in all superhero stories, just the fact that they are so different, people won't completely trust them, and could turn on them any time. They could be killed, or taken away and experimented on.

Like Raphael being so ridiculously Brooklyn? That's kind of like an inverse of an Italian painter right?

is there also some word play when translating from Japanese? I'm not an expert on the Japanese language, so I wouldn't know about the words for dinosaurs or dragons

I'm back with something I've been thinking about for a while. I have some dolores umbrage to take with our gracious hosts this time. They call out the casablanca joke when they are saying bye to april at the manhole cover as being dated and not something kids would know about. But I feel like that's a very common trope in kids' entertainment. There is always some influence from things that is either for adults to understand, or that the creators just love so they toss it in. There's also a certain amount of cultural references that kids just kind of go along with, even if they don't fully understand it. I know there were plenty of classic movies that I referenced as a kid without ever having seen them, just picked up from life. I always think of Animaniacs as something that had a lot of that in it, though I can't think of any specific examples right now. Anyone else know what I mean? On a side note, I was at this show, and totally saw Jason later at a not-to-be-named-here party, and personally let him know how amazing it was. I hope I wasn't out of bounds by doing that? People seem have differing opinions on going up to celebrities you see out and about. I wasn't crazy gushing or anything, I tried to play it cool, but I'm not sure how Jason feels about that kind of thing. JASON IF YOU SEE THIS AND REMEMBER THAT HAPPENING AND THOUGHT I WAS AN ASSHOLE I'M SORRY!

there probably is, you just haven't looked hard enough

Got my omissions: Why was shredder's armor also affected by the ooze? he grew like thirty spikes! Were the thugs in the beginning the foot? why weren't they in uniform? why were they casually stealing things and not at all trying to hide themselves? How does he type on that keyboard when he has like inch and a half wide turtle fingers??? that's all for now, but ill be back!

Ernie Reyes, Jr. of (hopefully) soon to be released live episode Ninja Turtles 2: Secret of the Ooze fame is in the hospital, and needs a kidney transplant. Someone out there has gotta save Keno! This time it IS his battle. http://www.ew.com/ar...dney-transplant

yeah his powers of being a demi-god were taken away, so he's just a human. so his human body should still be just as strong as it seems.why is he now so much weaker than a guy that's kind of the same size? furthermore, what if they both could lift 1000lb? would they just both be the strongest man?

correction possibly! when they are doing the weight lifting competition, everyone thought that he had lost his power already, but i had gotten the idea that his strength had left him between those sets, so he could easily do the 750lb (and raised it twice) but it was gone when he went to do the 1000lb. as for omissions...i dont remember anyone bringing it up, but the set for mt olympus is actually the conservatory gardens in central park. someone mentioned hearing a car honk, and the gardens are right on 5th ave so that might be why? when juno is convincing nemesis to make herc normal, nemesis completely forgets a line that i think should have been "i dare not take part in undermining the will of the gods" but ends up being "i dare not take part in undermining the....the....of the gods!" also WHY DOES JUNO JUST HAVE A RING FILLED WITH POWDER TO MAKE GODS MORTAL?!?! eta: why do the gangsters need pretzie to sign the contract? he doesnt seem to have actually managed herc into doing anything, so what need would there be to sign anything? isn't it hercules that should be signing a contract? i'm sure there are plenty of other things im forgetting as well

i think that sea evil pun is reason enough to do this movie.
