Yeah, as a kid I always thought the second April O'Neil was way more attractive, and I still say she's more traditionally pretty, but Judith Hoag definitely has a sexiness not apparent to a 6 year old. Weird to look back and realize she was only like 22.

Remember when the cartoon took away Michelangelo's nunchuks and replaced it with a stupid grappling hook/turtle shell type thing? Man that sucked.

@avclub-6e81b4b2cccb03cf163e23582effced9:disqus It wasn't, but even after the transition, Mirage Studios still sold a bunch of their own comic book-era merchandise (the red-masked turtles) right next to the cartoon turtle merchandise, so you'd have these adult comic images right next to pizza lovin' party dudes and…

I remember the suits/puppetry being a lot cheaper looking in the third movie, like it was maybe one step up from the Saban TMNT tv show that ran in the late '90s. I recall Splinter was planted with his head poking out the window in every scene, clearly hiding a puppeteer's hand. Just garbage.

Regular? Or menthol?

EXCELLEEEEENT

I had a TMNT calender when I was a kid, and all the images were taken from the old comic book cover art, which were NOT kid friendly lots of depictions of April's ample bosoms falling out of her jumpsuit. I think my mom ended up taking it out of my room, although at the time I probably thought a ghost had stolen it. I…

Well it WAS Corey Feldman, and he could be all of those things or none of those things (at least in the first movie, I think it was Ernie Reyes Jr. in the second, which is weird since he also played Kino (Keno?)).

Did I have The Box? Motherfucker, I LIVED The Box. Seriously, my best friend didn't have cable and we watched it all day, every day one summer. (even though I had MTV across the street…his TV was bigger than mine)

You gotta understand what a crumpet is before you understand cricket!

I often site TMNT III as the first time I realized a movie could not be as awesome as you hoped. In fact, it could be outright bad. That one may have single handedly killed my Turtles obsession (along with 95% of the country's).

The first TMNT is one of a half a dozen or so movies I could quote from beginning to end. Like many others of my age group, I watched the first two movies probably a hundred times each from the years 1990-1993. I could probably even quote the trailers on the second movie (Burger King Kids Club, Step Kids aka Big Girls…

My girlfriend was trying to figure out where she knew the nurse from and she said, "Did she play on the Clueless TV show?" So no, not just you who got the Alicia Silverstone vibe.

She was also the teenager in Crazy Stupid Love who wanted Steve Carell.

This response made me laugh. I like the cut of your jib, sir.

Definitely mine. I actually discovered Stillman through Baumbach.

Now can you do a Whit Stillman joke? That might make more sense.

Would most of the people even be recognizable? It's been a while, is all I'm sayin'.

I actually dug Daddy & Them, but it isn't great, and if you didn't grow up in the South, you might not be able to relate. But it does have lots of things to offer: John Prine, Jim Varney in a somewhat serious role, Walton Goggins in a comedic role, Andy Griffith saying "cornholed."

You think he could afford better coloring than Just For Men.
