TMNT 9/11 poster

This is a silly poster for a silly movie. Yes, its scheduled for release on September 11th. This image in no way evokes or references 9/11.

In 1972 Bonanza was cancelled and Bing was unemployed. He had begun to lose interest in acting and was in something of a slump. Around the same time Portlands minor league baseball team had been sold and moved out of state. After 70 years the city of Portland was without a baseball team and after 20 years of non-stop acting Bing Russell was without a job.
