Hump Day & Chill

Riding On The Metro
Michael Shinafelt

I met a friend for lunch at Marix in West Hollywood, CA yesterday and instead of taking my usual mode of transportation I opted for the bus.

As you can see by the image I captured it's quite "Chill." So let us Hump Day & Chill on the Metro today shall we? Why not?!

"I remember searching for the perfect words

I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro" - The Metro, Berlin

All I can say is YES!!! They Supreme Court nailed it!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy

On December 16, martial arts mayhem rises from the sewers when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy makes its global 4K UHD debut. The three films are live action with realistic animatronic costumes created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles features a brand 4K restoration of the film from the original camera negative by Arrow Films approved by director Steve Barron. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III feature 4K restorations of the films from the 35mm interpositives by Arrow Films. The Limited Edition boxset is overflowing with hours of special features, collectible packaging, and newly commissioned extras. There is also a Blu-ray release.

During New York City's latest massive crime wave, TV reporter April O'Neil (Judith Hoag, Halloweentown) is attacked by thugs. The most unlikely of heroes come to her aid. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four large, shelled reptiles with martial arts skills and the ability to talk. They live in the sewer, devour pizza and learn the art of ninjutsu from Splinter, a mystical rat. O’Neil and the Turtles discover that the terrorizing criminals are members of the villainous masked Foot Clan, led by the diabolical Shredder. Can Turtle Power clean up the Big Apple? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze exposes the substance that caused the Turtles and Splinter to transform. There’s only one last canister of the Ooze at Techno Global Research Industries. Shredder plans to create new vicious mutants with this final dose if the Turtles can’t stop him. During a fight at a nightclub, the Turtles and Fist swap blows while Vanilla Ice dances and busts out “Ninja Rap.” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III transports the heroes in both time and space. April O’Neil (Paige Turco, The Stepfather) buys an ancient golden scepter at a flea market. As she shows it off to Splinter and the Turtles, the device glows and projects April back to feudal Japan. She’s declared a witch by the wicked Lord Norinaga (Sab Shimono, Southland Tales). The Turtles must travel back to save April and stop a samurai battle. 

Special features include a 4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible); original lossless stereo audio options and more; optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; a perfect bound collector’s booklet in the style of a Roy’s Pizza menu; three double-sided foldout poster; eight character trading cards; a Roy’s Pizza loyalty card; four character stickers; brand new audio commentaries with directors Steve Barron, Michael Pressman and Stuart Gillard; interviews with director Steve Barron, actors Robbie Rist, Judith Hoag, Vivian Wu and others; a newly filmed featurette exploring the film’s locations; TMNT’s alternate UK version; TMNT’s alternate ending from VHS workprint; TMNT’s alternate Korean footage; archival featurette; alternate UK openings for all the films; theatrical trailers; and image galleries.
