Do you know who's doing the voice or who they think will be doing them? I hope they get good people, not just whoever's hot at the moment. I'm trying hard to keep my expectations realistic, but I just giddy at the thought of the turtles back on the big screen.I'll be there opening night, guarantee it.
Now all they need are He-Man and Thundercats movies and my childhood is completely revived!
Yahtzee is like playing poker with dice. It is fun.
I bet you could download a shareware version to play on your computer.No one is listed as part of the cast for the TMNT movie yet. I am hopeful it is not someone famous. I have trouble watching animated movies that are voiced by famous people. :\ It kind of annoys me.
Ooo! I He-Man movie would be great! Never was a Thundercats fan, though. :\
More questions for you! Favorite Firefly episode? Favorite character? Favorite line?
I will go first. I think my favorite episode is the pilot, "Serenity". I like Mal the best and probably the most overall developed character on the show. Favorite line? Can not go wrong with the "I am a large, semi-muscular man".

I agree. I would be absolutely crushed if they had Will Ferrell as Michaelangelo or Cameron Diaz as April, or something like that. They need really good voice actors, people who really understand the roles and don't just make caricatures out of them - like in the new series. I know it's "just" a cartoon, but it's near and dear to my heart.
He-Man and She-Ra would make an awesome movie. Are those series DVDs out yet? I should looking into buying them...
Oh boy...favorite episode...hmmm. This is such a tough question because I love them all, but...I would have to go with "Our Mrs. Reynolds" because I think it has the best comedy hands-down (LOVE the scene where Jayne tries to trade Vera) and the interaction between all the characters is just stunning. Of course, I also love the pilot and "Objects in Space" and "Jaynestown" and...well...all of them.
Favorite line? All the ones involving Shepard Book and the "special" hell, especially when he pokes his head around the corner. Cracks me up!

Don't be too angry,most English blokes are short!
I am not myself,unless of course you consider six foot short,and then there is only one avenue open to you,Go Dutch!:)
So are you a fan of any other sci-fi stuff? at the risk of sounding too geek(ish) I have a bit of a fondness for all things spacelike and Depeche mode'esque
When you say you like a Pint,does that mean plural as in the way most of my mates like a pint? or in the sense of A Pint?

Ugh. I would hate hate hate for famous people to be in the TMNT movie. I that is part of what ruined Final Fantasy for me. Based on the fact that filming has already started and no "famous" people are listed in the cast, I would guess that we are relatively safe.
Hm. I have no idea if He-Man or She-Ra are out on DVD yet. they might be. I would not be surprised.
I remember watching He-Man when I was a kid. I cannot remember the names of most of the characters anymore! 
I only remember He-Man and Skeletor and Castle Greyskull.That "special hell" scene is really funny. When Book pokes his head around corner and gives Mal the innocent look and disappears is quite funny. I often laugh when I see it.
That is a good episode. It has many great lines and plus, Mal had to wear a dress.

Whew! Okay, dodged a bullet on that one.
I'm going to lose my mind if I ever see a commercial or trailer for it...I'm already so excited, with a year to wait (at least)! Wouldn't that be a great birthday present, if it hit theaters on March 2? I don't remember much about it, either. I think I know the basic plot (He-Man = good, Skeletor = bad), but all the details are long gone. All I remember is that I used to love it. What else matters, right? :)
Mal in a dressy and a pretty floral bonnet is just undeniably awesome. I love the scene after when Inara asks him why Zoe couldn't just wear it.
One of the best things about "Our Mrs. Reynolds" is that it opens up the door for "Trash," and Mal's naked bum, which is an episode I can really get behind. (har har har!)Got any big St. Patty's plans? This is one of the first weekends in a long time that I won't be buried under a mountain of homework, so I plan to live it up. Roommate and I are going to dinner tonight, tomorrow I'll curl with a book and just be lazy.

That would be too much top hope for. If it did open on March 2, I would definitely go and see it on opening day.
So which turtle is your favorite? I got to go with Donatello. I liked "Trash" but I have one complaint. I think the opening sequence is a little off. It starts with Mal sitting on the rock and then goes to the smuggling pickup job "72 hours earlier" and then the opening credits. I think it should have just been Mal sitting on the rock, THEN the opening credits and then the smuggling pickup. I thought that would have been EVEN funnier. Of course, I am not a director or an editor so what the heck do I know?
So living it up is dinner with a friend and then reading? I like your style.
No plans. I have nothing against beer and alcohol nor do I have anything against people who consume said beer and alcohol but it is just not for me. When I was in college, one of the fraternities had a party (with beer and alcohol) for this holiday every year and named it after a former member who had died of alcohol poisoning. They said "He would have wanted it this way." I hated that they would do that. So what book are you reading?

Raphael, all the way. Though I do really like Michaelangelo, too. Who am I kidding? I love them all!
Yeah, I see what you mean about "Trash." Who knows why they decided to do it that way? (Except Joss and company, of course.) Maybe the naked-on-a-rock scene just isn't long enough to act as the prologue.
Hm. It seems a little - ok, a lot - screwy to name a huge party after someone who died from alcohol poisoning. How saw for the guy who died - and for his friends, who have learned nothing from it. I'm actually heading up to a friend's house to make an appearance at his party later tonight. Mostly I'm going to say hi to some people I haven't seen in a long time and keep an eye on my roommate - who can't be trusted either to hold her liquor or remember how to get home. I guess I'm kind of like the "designated walker/bus rider."
Currently I'm re-reading "The Fiery Cross," by Diana Gabaldon. I have a big stack of books my parents bought or recommended for me, too. Maybe I'll get to those when I'm finished with TFC. By then the semester will probably be over, though.
I'm hoping this summer I have more time to read, since I won't have homework to worry about...just work-work.--------------------

True. Mal on a rock is probably not enough for an opening sequence. Like I said, I am not a director so what do I know?
Did you have a good time at the party and dinner with your roommate? I hope it was fun.
So what is "The Firey Cross" about? Is it fiction? What other books are on your pile? I hope I can finish my current book this weekend.

Had a great time last night, thank you.
Our mission was to find my roommate a nice suit for her job interview next week...which was unsuccessful, but we had a good time anyway. I got to try on a lot of goofy hats, which is always fun. The Fiery Cross is the fifth book in a series, about a woman who goes back in time from just after WW2 to 18th century Scotland. It's kind of in the historical/fantasy/romance genre.
Anyway, by TFC the woman and her family have settled in North Carolina and the Revolution is on its way. The plot a lot more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. I've read it three or four times already, but I love these books. Can't get enough! Also in my pile is...
-Honeymoon by James Patterson
-A Thread of Grace by Mary Doris Russell (about an Italian underground movement during the Holocaust)
-The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillippa Gregory (a fictional story about Anne Boleyn's sister)
-The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (more time travel!)
-Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Macguire (the same guy who wrote the book Wicked is based on)
-the first book in the series The Fiery Cross is a part of...because I love it.
I also have to read Les Miserables for class...but there isn't any sort of exam or paper on it, so I may save that one for the summer instead.
What are you working on?
