I like it. They are teenagers after all.

Look at that cast/characters!

“The Mitchells Vs The Machines' Jeff Rowe is in the director's chair alongside Kyler Spears – and the Mitchells influence is clear in the animation on show in the teaser, using a mix of techniques to create a unique, painterly style.
As announced by Rogen at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards this weekend, the voice cast is a mix of well known names and rising stars including Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko, Jackie Chan as Splinter, John Cena as Rocksteady and Rogen himself as Bebop.
We can also expect to hear Micah Abbey as Donatello, Shamon Brown Jr. as Michelangelo, Nicolas Cantu as Leonardo, Brady Noon as Raphael, The Bear's Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil, Rose Byrne as Leatherhead, Maya Rudolph as Cynthia Utrom, musician Post Malone as Ray Fillet, Natasia Demetriou as Wingnut, Ice Cube as Superfly, Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter Stockman and Hannibal Buress as Genghis Frog.”

The amazing thing is how deep they are going from a character standpoint as a small child TMNT we’re my absolute favorite cartoon and I had many of the action figures so as I read the names of the voice talent with the characters I knew exactly to whom they’re referring. Leatherneck was a male mutant croc from the bayou in the cartoon so they are switching genders (which is good since like 99% of TMNT were male) and assume making her an Aussie crocodile instead. Also, I feel like Post Malone gives off way more Gengis Frog energy than Ray Fillet. Other than that I think they did a pretty great job.

When You Get the Chance by Emma Lord | Goodreads
 
Saw Scream 6 earlier today. I’ll put everything in spoilers but won’t actually spoil anything

The hype for 5 seemed so strong that it pumped me up and ultimately left me pretty disappointed. I love the franchise, even when it’s messy. But 5 very clearly felt like not as good writing / directing. So for 6 the hype got me excited again but I went in with more muted expectations. I have to sit with it a bit, but it’s definitely a step up from 5.

The opening sequence is the best it’s been since 3, the kills are some of the most brutal they’ve ever done, and the final twist is something I genuinely didn’t expect. And yet I can’t say I loved it completely. It’s more fun than 5, and the movement of the story is pretty fast and engaging. But there are some things I thought were kind of dumb. And I can’t help but still feel the main characters are kind of flat. They’re all just fine for the story but no one stands out. Which is how I felt about 5, so no major change there.

The 3D was ugh not good. I’m not excited about that being back. But it was what was available. It only really added to two shots that were cool. As far as a franchise goes, Scream still beats all for me. I’m not totally loving the new ones, but I’ll still check out 7 if/when it happens.
