I just showed it to a friend a few weeks ago who, at the age of 26, had never seen it and who didn't grow up with the Turtles in any way. She didn't even know their names, and she loved it. That first movie is pretty solid.

Eh, sue me. This doesn't actually look too bad if you ask me. The Turtles look weird (or at least different) but they seem pretty in character. Mikey's mask joke was actually pretty funny, and "batter up" is absolutely something the Turtles would yell during an action setpiece. I don't know. If it sucks, the original…

Not quite sure why this is news. Dude's promoting his movie.

My high school bio teacher changed his to "Message for you, sir," from Holy Grail. It was hilarious the first time his lecture was interrupted by that quote. Not as much by the end of the semester.

Ah. Good to know, actually.

There's gotta be, like, a dozen or so "Futuramas" that make the same point.

Not only was the purpose of the app vague, but it only took Needful and Summer six hours to put together and sell. That's what I took away from it as funny.

I find it's a pretty good rule of thumb that, when wondering about things like how certain characters can breath in space or scientific things of that nature, I should remind myself it's just a show and go lie down or something.

What a waste of a Monkey's Paw.

The problem is that no one ever will be able to outdo classic Simpsons' monkey paw gag.

I was just a little too young for this when it came out, I think. I was ten and, while I knew what Spiderwebs and Just a Girl were, I didn't really know anything about No Doubt until "Rock Steady came out. I was in high school for that one, and I remember that weird video where they're all dancing around on the boat…

I don't know if call "Burning Beekeeper" the worst, but it was probably the episode that disappointed me the most. I love when HIMYM goes high concept, and that episode seemed like it was going to be structured like some insane door farce. I still think that's what they were going for, but the episode was just a mess.

Me too, actually. I was also a fan of "you had to play the race card," from the same scene. When I got my friends to watch it, it was Barney's "Top Gun" entrance, complete with music, in "Slutty Pumpkin" that got him hooked.

It was impressive, but isn't Ted the only Weird Al fan of the gang? I remember no one wanted to go with him.

I'm getting scared too. "Everything is legendary, because it's not true" or something like.

The difference was that, when she met Barney, there was some interaction and she could see that Barney was in a really sad place. With Robin, as far as the mother knows, it's just another "bride freaking out" situation. She's probably played at a bunch of weddings.

Arrested Development might not be so bad, simply because there's less of it. I'd be intimidated to try 30 Rock or, say, How I Met Your Mother.

Well, she DID cheat on him.

I don't know if this was intentional, but when they first started walking to the restaurant, it looks like the Mother stumbles a little bit, like she doesn't wear heels very often but got all dolled up for Ted. Nice little "first date" detail.

Ted and the Mother strike me as people who wear things that on their sleeves. I mean, just a few minutes into their first date, she tells him she turned down a marriage proposal just four days earlier. It won't be long before he tells her he was once left at the altar, or she tells him her first boyfriend died on her…
