Michael Bay apparently wants to give George Lucas a run for his money when it comes to the title of "destroyer of your youth." After informing the world that the heroes in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot he is producing are actually a bunch of aliens, not mutants, the boom-boom-and-bosom-loving director has gone and made things worse. But it isn't his fault, he says. Blame the studio, he says. Or just refuse to see the movie, we say.
