I saw that line as "bonus robs Transformers 2 Fags" at first since it was underlined and I couldn't tell it was a Q at first.

Ok...after reading that I'm glad I didn't see this movie. It sounds like a total cluster fuck. Good thing they didn't use that old Cartoon or comic story cause those would have been too silly.

Wow, I knew it was a POS but this is somehow beyond that. Like Super Saiyan POS 3. A robot scrotum?

Well I don't have any Season 3 on DVD, but I'm pretty sure the Matrix of Leadership was never the key to a doomsday weapon and Megatron never worked for a guy called the Fallen.

But I'm sure someone is going to tell me that G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra is just like the toon too, because I like the toon, but think that movie is going to worse then this one.

The GI Joe movie was so bad they stopped screenings and scrambled to recut the movie and alter the plot.

On it's way to join Gigli.

I'm not saying it's drawn word-for-word from some episode, but it certainly feel ðe same.

Doomsday weapon? Check.
Old characters pushed into ðe background or left out so new characters can get ðe spotlight? Check.
Wacky racial stereotypes? Check.
"Decepticons retreat!"? Check.

I guess we just differ on the opinon of what "Feels the same" is.

Yep, Devastator has balls.

How many doomsday scenarios were there in the original show? The only notable ones I can think about was from The Ultimate Doom, Vector Sigma's key, a hate plague, and an overloading plasma energy chamber, and all of which involved different plot dynamics.

Not to mention that I have no recollection of Decepticles or pot brownies making any appearances.

Rama · « **Reply #42 on:** Jul 06, 2009, 11:28:32 PM »

The Ultimate Doom was awesome. They should have made that into a movie.

Sienna Miller blows. Cute as a button, but whoever casted her as the Baroness needs to be shot multiple times in the face.

According to Wikipedia:

Re: Cobra Commander, according to slashfilm:

Spoiler (hover to show)

Nothing against cartoons because you people know I love them, but a fucking toon should be the easiest thing to adapt. Especially shit with a preset fucking formula like G.I.Joe and Transformers. Why raging hormones, idiotic attempts at humor, stupid relationship, and overly complicated plots suddenly take center stage in this shit is beyond me. In fact, they should just steal directly from the cartoon. Take a couple of loosely related or similar episodes and throw them together into a movie. It's been twenty years. Not enough people will remember for it to matter.

Sienna Miller looks awkward and stupid. Especially with the damn sunglasses!

I don't get the casting either, but I have seen better shots with the glasses and her hair straight and dark brunette instead of poofy brown. Maybe this was a wardrobe fitting.

Rama · « **Reply #46 on:** Jul 07, 2009, 12:34:14 PM »

*Sigh* at least the MOTU movie is in limbo at the moment. If they make it like these I'd just rather it never get made at all. I'm kinda hoping it passes into the hands of someone that actually gives a shit, you know unlike Transformers and G.I.Joe.

Sam · « **Reply #47 on:** Jul 07, 2009, 04:36:14 PM »

For G.I. Joe to work, you really need to camp it up. I don't like G.I. Joe because it features a bunch of identically clad super-soldiers, I like it because it's an elite military force ðat's apparently composed of people ðat wore whatever ðe fuck ðey wanted to work ðat day.

edit: And if "doomsday device" is too limiting, change it to "device to extract a bunch of energy and fuck over ðe humans"

That shit about CC is bullshit.

A black baby? You racist. RACIST!

I'm just waiting for the new LotR movies. I hope they do the Silmarillion with the same CG as Beowulf.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #50 on:** Jul 07, 2009, 10:38:01 PM »

People talked about how Watchmen was unfilmable? Disagree! Silmarillion is the very definition of unfilmable.

Derrick · « **Reply #51 on:** Jul 08, 2009, 09:16:21 AM »

Not if done in serial with the Beowulf technology. If they can turn fat Ray Winstone into a svelt warrior, anything is possible.

That bitch was damn near unreadable. Not a good sign for something that needs a script.

Sam · « **Reply #53 on:** Jul 08, 2009, 12:13:36 PM »

I loved the hell out of ðat book, but it's not a tight, concise story. It's a history book. You could MAYBE get away wiþ doing ðe story of Turin or of Beren and Luthien, but even ðose require tons of backstory to make any sense.

Oh yeah...I was wishing for singing Hobbits about a 1/3 of the way through it.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #55 on:** Jul 08, 2009, 05:42:34 PM »

Let me add that I loved the Silmarillion as well as several of its ancillary books. But I can see no way of filming that outside of some sort of television series or something that would be equally disappointing. Plus, I'm afraid that making it where non-Ringers would give a crap about any of it would be an insurmountable task, and doing so might make it unwatchable for those of us who would care about it.

Oh, I could. Get me the funding, and your minds will be blown.

I smell Stick Figure Theatre and an untracable Antiguan bank account as the result.
