The film at least gives a shout-out to Vanilla Ice and manages to fit a bit of Ninja Rap into its (fairly decent) version of the cartoon theme in the end credits. They know what the audience comes for in a Turtles II film.

Not villains exactly but I would love to see the The Punk Frogs in a live-action film.

From an interview with Rolling Stone in January:

Sadly there is far too little Krang (he sets up the plot about a thrid in and then comes back for the final fight). And the Technodrome is weirdly hollow. Though at one point the giant eye thing eppears on the top of it… but then you never get a full view of the whole ship, which seems a waste.

I believe it was copyright issues as the characters were developed for the cartoon series rather than the comic books which the films had the rights to. The plan was to use Bebop and Rocksteady but, when they were told no, Tokka and Rahzar were the replacements.

So I just wasted ten seconds of my life trying to figure out which currently-showing film shared an acronym with Guardians of the Galaxy for nothing?

Ironically, much like the non-kid audience watching Asses of Fire in the film. I hope they muttered "What garbage" as they left.

For similar logic, I want this to succeed enough to justify a third one where they bring in the Blimp.

I mean, if humans have been around for 200,000 years and the Earth - according to Who - gets detroyed in the year 5,000,000,000 then that leaves well over four billion years of humanity to explore where race wouldn't be an issue (at least not in the same terms as a black man in Victorian England, say).

I miread that as "Aykroyd YES YES YES", which is a very different pick.

The flip side to that is that he cast Matt Smith (seemingly second-choice to a non-white Doctor) which worked out brilliantly and Peter Capaldi which was a hell of a coup and remains so (even if I feel the writing has only started to match his potential).

One of my favourite small moments in Father Ted:

But then TWD had a great pilot.

Are you kidding? I just told you like a minute ago.

"We've gone to Braavos by mistake!"

Maybe replacing the Sansa actress, which would add bizarre levels to the scenario..

"Now, uh, eventually you do plan to have Thor? In your, in your Thor solo film? Right?"

I disagree - it's not just the lack of quality, it's also to do with the popularity. People's hate is increased because not only do they not like it but millions of people do.

I've just finishing watching Key and Peele through for the first time, so my 'greatest callback' judgement is currently leaning towards the one in their final episode.

Confusing the journalist with the PR woman there to prep him.
