Didn’t expect there to be a scene in this that reminded me of the butcher boy.
A very fun jab at the pretentious New York art crowd and their attempt to turn enthusiastic young photographer Pecker(Edward furlong) into a commodity. Its full of of good natured depravity and the world generally feels like a Daniel Clowes comic come to life. Peckers endearing, oddball family would fit comfortably into a 90s sitcom but are perfectly at home in this world too.
I suspect this ranks fairly low in the john waters canon for those in the know but for what its worth I found it downright heartwarming.
Yes, it is fun that the turtles are actually teenagers but it also makes them feel vunerable, both physically and emotionally. That had me invested in their happiness as individuals more than just their triumph, and genuinely concerned for their well being. They felt multi-dimensional, and against all odds I think Leonardo might have even been my favourite.
Visual style inflicted mild future shock upon my cranium, like it took a moment to adjust to how mad it looked. Great work 🤘
Bebop and Rock Steady were kinda disappointing 🤷🏻♂️
Jackie Chan was predictably a joy.
