Was everyone else helping pregnant women to the hospital that year?

I laughed so hard at that I fell off the sofa. Oh, Golden Pair! I love you so much despite your complete and utter pointlessness.

[poilass]

I just love how everyone always goes, "Oh, it's the GOLDEN PAIR, YAYZ! We will DEFINITELY WIN this time!" when they pretty much never win ever.

Unexpectedly, Prince of Tennis is indeed largely about tennis! Occasionally also about Friendship and Teamwork and Not Giving Up and UNDERAGED GAY LOVE, but mostly tennis. It's EXCELLENT!!!

But I have no idea about the icon keywords, I think they came with the style.

I did not like the character design in TMNT one bit (well, except Splinter), but I went in knowing that I didn't like the way the characters looked so it wasn't too bad for me. I did go into shock for about two seconds at anorexic-Barbie April but then I forgot about it because, well, Donatello tech helpline.

And yes, sheesh, the opening narration was both unnecessary and ridiculous. So blatantly unnecessary that I'm not really sure how storyboard artists and assistant directors and editors all let it slip through. But I think the opening was the only point where I was laughing at the movie instead of with it.

I am using my Betsy icon because she, too, is a mutant and a ninja.

I knew nothing about the film before I went to see it, so I had no expectations -- and was fairly pleasantly surprised! I did almost start giggling at the opening "FOUR turtles." He just sounded so serious, and dude -- they're ninja turtles. Serious is something you have to work up to for that.

Donatello was FAB. I think he got the best characterisation of all of them. Leo especially got kinda shafted. But I love him anyway, the humourless bastard.

I am using my Betsy icon because she, too, is a mutant and a ninja.

But not a turtle.

I think I might need a turtle icon.

I think I might need a turtle icon.

A turtle icon or a Turtle icon?

I had some icons for a while from the new Ninja Turtle cartoon, which I kind of adore. I was thinking I might need to start using one of 'em again.

SEE NEW ICON!

Searching for new Ninja Turtle stuff on google, I came across this. Agree with all you said about the intro and the character design. The plot was weak, but we didn't care 'cause the boys are endlessly more interesting than any silly plot. Also:

Omigod. I went, but I can't bring myself to click on anything. A

Apparently I still have shame after all.

That is okay. I just thought it was funny you mentioned it. It's DEFINITELY not for everyone. XD

Also your icon is win. :)
