Oh yeah... I do remember you... hmmssh

I really don't like this guy at all, the only nice 'feature' I think he was born with, is the fact that Byron Mann sounds like Iron Man, I know that's not brilliant, but that's another proof he sucks.

BossWalsh.....whats your point? His acting was terrible and he wined through the whole film like a 12yr old on coke, what the hell has the fact that he also played a turtle have to do with anything! and "omg you people fail!" what are you 10yrs old. apart from camp people and women who follow the Kardashians every move and big brother who says omg, "its like oh my god and I was like, and then she was like and then I said omg omg look at her hair" man up for gods sake.
