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"

I'd like them to "camp it up" to be comparable to the toon but I think Hollywood has no restraint. They'll either make it too serious or they'll make it too goofy. And then we'll have more than one Wayans in it if you catch my drift.

I'm kinda wondering why they didn't just have this giant fanboy contest to help promote the movie. Like have fans vote for their favorite Joes to be in the movie. I just don't know about some of those Joes they chose. I mean, we all could've lived without Covergirl. Sheesh.

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

Ha, I couldn't even get past the Hobbit.

Because no one wants GI Joe. It was born from 'OMG TRANSFORMERS MADE MONEY! MORE 80s CARTOONS!'. Look for Tobey McGuire in Robotech and Justin Long in Voltron.

I want GI Joe!

Boo hoo!

Tell me that after you see the movie.

Marlon Wayans ruins everything.

B E C K · « **Reply #64 on:** Jul 09, 2009, 01:44:03 PM »

Well, I meant I want GI Joe. I don't want the one they've made. They can keep that one.

Derrick · « **Reply #65 on:** Jul 09, 2009, 01:53:56 PM »

I never liked GI Joe, either.

B E C K · « **Reply #66 on:** Jul 09, 2009, 01:57:32 PM »

I liked GI Joe! The Real American Hero, ....with various choice imports!

A live action GI JOE movie done right would be great.

I doubt that's what we're going to get though. These are the same type of people that decided not to let deadpool talk.

Rama · « **Reply #68 on:** Jul 09, 2009, 05:30:04 PM »

I want G.I. Joe too. I love G.I. Joe, that's what I'm so pissed about that movie they are giving us.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #69 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 09:02:01 AM »

The kid I used to play with in Brownsville would tie his G.I. Joes up with twine and use my Breyer horse models to drag them around with before another Joe rescued him. He coundn't get the boots off of one, so he'd just pull the pants down to the ankles and tie another pair of pants by the legs around the waist. I wonder sometimes what kind of adult he became.

Rama · « **Reply #70 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 11:44:18 AM »

Oh I'm sure a well adjusted adult, living a full life of cutting up his gay lovers and stocking them in his fridge so he can bring them out later to eat their raw flesh.

Derrick · « **Reply #71 on:** Jul 10, 2009, 02:17:09 PM »

Hopefully, a real-life Dexter gets him. I love that show, I'm going to marathon the series again OnDemand because Showtime rocks and understand people want to see full series rather than 4 fucking episodes a month like HBO does with the Wire. FUCK HBO.

Exactly, man. It'd be the shit. We'd have Flint, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck, Beachhead, Lifeline (for Merla, heh!) fucking Sergeant Slaughter. You'd have to pause frame by frame to catch each Joe that appears in the final glorious fight sequence. Everyone will be impressed that not only were ethnicities not compromised, but costumes are spot on from cartoon/comic/and or action figure! When we get the reveal of Cobra Commander's face, everyone would scream. And at the end would be *gasp* Serpentor!! ....setting up a sequel. Scott Weiland can be weaned off of heroin for long enough to do a bitching cover of the theme song to close up the credits. Also featured would be Chris Cornell, Tom Rothrock, Slash (no one need tell Scott Weiland), Rage Against the Machine (no one need tell Chris Cornell) doing some tree-hugger song, fucking Bono, we can get some soft pop Frampton-esque sounding hippies for appease the older folks, and rap can more or less stay the fuck away unless it is mildly present in a rock song. (Billy Idol can play in the background when we introduce the Dreadnoks.) Locales would include Hawaii, Greenland, Arizona, Spain, and London (for sheer reason of cameoing Action Man). Snake-Eyes would have to awesomest fucking fight sequence on the face of the planet (in the middle of which is a duel w/ Storm Shadow). Buildings will crumble, shit will blow up (but not too much shit, this isn't G.I. Bay), and even the fucking earth will move. They're be some wirework by Yuen Wo Ping but not too much because that'd be gay and Americans use their fists!!11fwel And because it's Cobra, they'll be an obligatory snake pit somewhere and Duke will reference Indiana Jones somehow. And the subtitle would be something considering less a double entendre than "Rise of Cobra".

I'm just going to stand over there waiting for the Thor movie.

IDE · « **Reply #74 on:** Jul 11, 2009, 01:00:04 PM »

I'd see it! And I think Quick Kick should be in there for the asian market.

B E C K · « **Reply #75 on:** Jul 12, 2009, 01:31:18 PM »

And Jinx, too!

Rama · « **Reply #76 on:** Jul 12, 2009, 03:39:45 PM »

I wanna see a live action version of the opening of G.I. Joe the movie. Everyone and their uncle was in that and it was fucking Boss.

Derrick · « **Reply #77 on:** Jul 13, 2009, 12:19:36 AM »

The guy who's going to play Loki in the Thor movie is an amazing thespian. OH! Plus, Iron Man 2 should be the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

B E C K · « **Reply #78 on:** Jul 13, 2009, 05:50:12 PM »

I think Thor and Iron Man should both fight each other, then decide they want to be G.I. Joes. They can even keep their names.

Derrick · « **Reply #79 on:** Jul 13, 2009, 09:21:39 PM »

Iron Man and Thor will hopefully fight each other for a bit in the Avengers movie.

Rama · « **Reply #80 on:** Jul 14, 2009, 12:21:23 AM »

I'm really looking forward to Thor. Don't know why though, was never really a fan of the book back in my comic days.

Derrick · « **Reply #81 on:** Jul 14, 2009, 05:27:26 AM »

The new Thor comics are much better than the other ones. Post-ragnarok Thor is much more bearable. It's sad when they include stories from the 70s and 80s, because you see how far writing and art has gone.

B E C K · « **Reply #82 on:** Jul 23, 2009, 11:26:39 PM »

Jessica Biel is rumored to be in Thor. Jessica fucking Biel. Bleh. And Natalie Portman, too. I just find those two so generic. I wish they could've casted more interesting actresses for this thing.

Quote

Chris Hemsworth is cast as Thor while Tom Hiddleston is Loki, the god of mischief who serves as the movie's villain. The story centres on Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans but once here, he learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Sounds kinda gay.

Rama · « **Reply #83 on:** Jul 23, 2009, 11:37:17 PM »

Sounds Cliche, but eh..it' a Superhero movie. They are kinda suppose to be I guess.

B E C K · « **Reply #84 on:** Jul 23, 2009, 11:43:45 PM »

Yeah, but after awhile it becomes "seen one, seen them all".

Rama · « **Reply #85 on:** Jul 24, 2009, 12:02:56 AM »

Well I enjoyed Iron Man even though I pretty much knew what was going to happen from the start. Wasn't a big swerve what was going to happen in that one. It was telegraphed through the whole thing.

But I do kinda agree, with tickets reaching 10 bucks a person it's getting to be not worth seeing a retread of the same story over and over again and more of a wait and rent it type thing.

I'd rather see Thor in Jessica Biel. Nyuck-nyuck-nyuck!

I'm crossing my fingers for Thor, but yeah, I have no real hope for it. In fact, I think I can smell it already...

Derrick · « **Reply #87 on:** Jul 24, 2009, 06:52:31 AM »

It was supposed to be historical, ala Lord of the Rings. Now it seems they changed it. C'est la vie, Iron Man 2 will kick ass.

I do not keep up with these Marvel movie happenings....

Has anyone seen the new animated Green Lantern movie? It's really awesome even though I didn't like it that it only takes place on Earth for 2 minutes.
Great animation, Hal was all "okay whatever" with everything that was happening which I thought was...okay whatever, and Sinestro was very Timothy Dalton in his portrayal.
It's not quite as kickass as the WonderWoman feature but right up there as the best 2 DC animated films I've ever seen.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #89 on:** Jul 24, 2009, 11:59:36 PM »

Timothy Dalton would have made for an excellent Sinestro in the GL live-action flick against Ryan Reynolds' Hal Jordan, come to think of it.
