I think the orignal was the better comedy but 216 was more fun. How can you watch Holtzman whup some Ghosts with her proton pistols and not squee?

That might be the lens of childhood talking tho, TBH. The new TMNT movies are leagues better than the old ones. Like, even adding in childhood nostalgia.

Thanks, I'd been wondering why the data was so thin compared to other states.

Yeah, it's just that the article seemed so absolutely determined to cherry pick data so it could say 'early voting signs v v bad for Clinton' that I was wondering if there maybe was more complexity to the Ohio trend than how it was presented.

Ohio is probably the only state Trump will win.

Please stop with the false narrative this is a competitive election.

I don't think I saw the orignal Ghostbusters till Highschool or something. It wasn't a part of my childhood.

Edit: When was the height of TMNT anyway, cause I was born 87 and they weren't part of my childhood either.

I agree fully, thats why I'd love to just see an awesome fast and furious style heist movie with lando chewie han and the rock playing someone. However, I'm pretty sure Disney is going to make it an origin story, or at least make sure all those 'origin' elements are there.

I'm okay with origin stories as long as they're not more than three to five minutes long to start. Less if you're introducing multiple people. Maybe the rest of the origin is baked into the story itself because they're not just talking about the character, but explaining why it's important instead of how he was badass this one time and got this wicked dueling scar that is never talked about again.

It's why sequels do better than the original movies so often. You don't have to waste a lot of time reintroducing everyone. You don't have to spend as much time reestablishing who everyone is because most of these people saw the movie/show/book years ago. You just get into the story immediately.

I miss Helldump. 2005 SA was about 5x bigger and had a much more diverse userbase that allowed for significantly more creeps and Helldump was a small, but insanely devoted group of internet detectives.

Ferretball was an amazing specimen to behold in LF circa 2007. If I remember correctly, he loved Ron Paul and would end every political post with "BTW I have a muslim girlfriend."

Helldump was a trash dump for emotionally broken people to harass other broken people. It was a giant festering wound that produced content only at the expense of other users. There are enough people willingly outing and humiliating themselves on these forums, we don't need to hunt for more. It also attracted the kind of person who decides to spend some of their short time on this earth uncovering the embarrassing secrets of something awful dot com forum posters. You know, assholes. This also holds true when meeting goons IRL. Helldump posters were always self-righteous weirdos.

I suppose they did do some good driving creeps away from the site. I remember the first ask/tell threads about being transgender circa 2004-05 were shocking in how much bile they would bring to the surface, and getting rid of the kind of rear end in a top hat who complained about Bush, voted Ron Paul, and spewed hate at transgender posters is an improvement.

EXACTLY. I was huge into the cartoon as a kid, so the movies were the best we could get for the time, but they were about as accurate as the Mortal Kombat movies were to the game.

And TMNT was very late 80s early 90s.

It was really hard to watch the original muppet TMNT the last time that I tried. Like, the Super Mario Movie might be more fun because it's just so objectively a horrible trainwreck, while TMNT just makes you feel sort of embarrassed and sad that it isn't good at all.

Beebop and Rocksteady are for sure better than Tokar and Razar or however the gently caress you spell it. That's it. Kang was dumb as gently caress and the turtles look worse than the original 80's costumes. Shredder is lame and April O'Neil is not Megan Fox. Also Monk as Splinter...

The only good original TMNT movie was the first. The ooze and the 3rd were so god drat awful. The first was a great comic book movie, even if it didn't really pull much from the cartoon show. The new ones however... how can you hate something that has shredder, baxter stcokman, bebop and rocksteady, the technodrome and god drat krang? Thats all my childhood self ever wanted to see in secret of the ooze. Who the gently caress are toka and razer or whatever the poo poo.

Although those saying the new movies are more faithful to the source material are forgetting that it was a comic book, and the first movie, weirdly, is more faithful to that than the cartoon. I think we should probably be done with the entire concept of Teenage Mutant Turtle Ninjas now, but maybe we should take an accelerationist perspective and say they should just keep making them and making the worse until people realize that they are bad and we get a new system for fiction in place.

There was a study years back (discussed here) with low numeracy people and high numeracy people with different political views. They were presented with a non-intuitive (ratios) maths problem firstly in a neutral political context (a skin-rash) and then the same problem but in a controversial political context (gun-control). What they found was that the results were surprisingly bad for the high numeracy people in an adverse political context, because they would skew their answers to a politically acceptable result.

This kind of unconscious context influence is hard to pin down, but it rings true when you think of the odd positions smart people take.

The Transformers games were drat good though from a accurate to comic book perspective, way better than the Beast Wars game that came out in the late 90s
