Heroes in a Halfshell...

TURTLE POWER!

I knew when my childhood started returning to the mainstream that things were good, but this trailer is a dream come true. I mean, I'm not sure if it could manage the absurdly terribly wonderful-ness of the early 90s live-action turtle trilogy. And I'm still a little afraid it will be a little too new-generation-turtle without the old school charm. But I am seriously excited. I'm watching all my original Turtles DVDs on loop in anticipation of this movie.

8 months and counting...

Tangential Thought: The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle theme song is undeniably awesome (lines like, "Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines" are priceless) but did everyone else realize that the line is "Raphael is cool, but crude"--according to the official TMNT website at least. Seriously? I have spent 15+ years believing that the line is "Raphael is cool, but rude" and it's all been a lie? And what does that even mean. I guess they get props for the alliteration, but "rude" sounds like he's a badass, whereas "crude" is just gross. And not in that cool, little-kid-gross sense, but in the plumber's-crack-yucky-gross sense.

Okay, rant over.
