brace yourself forty, scuttlebutt says that it ain't even gonna be G.I. Joe but modeled after the european version called action force. I didn't know of such a thing until i saw it on youtube a few days back. horrible it is. It's like eating prime rib and being fed by two hot 18 year old bi curious catholic schoolgirls that will do anything you wish, compared to selma and patty feeding you german patato salad! check out the intros to the show and the movie check it show U.S version european version movie U.S version European man yet another thing they want to water down to make it more appealing to international audiences. One of the cartoons I grew up with, land-o-lakes! where is my hippie strength mace and baton? |

I am dilligently watching these episodes. I'm just polishing off episode 3. I have to say: it really *is* military propaganda! As much as I'm enjoying watching right now I actually am sort of glad I didn't watch the show when I was a little kid. |

The DIC episodes sucked horribly compared to the Sunbow episodes. The best was There's No Place Like Springfield, the two-part season 1 finale of which about 80% was dedicated to the sadistic, brutal, and elaborate psychological torture of a P.O.W. by Cobra, using painful mind-probe machines and an entire town full of Synthoids pretending to be his friends and family while occasionally trying to kill him and melting into puddles of goo and then going back to normal as if nothing has happened.
I'd love to see a perfectly exact live-action rendition of the original movie opening. It would be particularly good for the new film since it would require them to sign on Sergent Slaughter. |

Cool pictures Critias, I had no idea there was such a loyal following out there. (Even after talking with Bull on several occasions.) I'd love to get to one of these Cons one of these days-damnedable jorb and it's damned rotating days, and mandatory overtime.
I just picked up most of the GI Joe books done by DDP the other day, and I am looking forward to reading them-being a fan of the original Marvel series, and of course growing up with the toys and the cartoons! I'd like to hope they'll make a good play at a GI Joe movie, but it just doesn't seem ready to happen yet. |

If you look around there is a partial cast list that includes Scarlette, Road Block, Cobra Commander, the Baroness and a few others

Well, I don't know if this movie is going to be any good or not but at the very least Snake-Eyes LOOKS like Snake-Eyes: http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/03/20/first-...es-from-gi-joe/

A lot of the early reports immediately following the greenlighting of the movie was... Terrible. Fortunately, everything in the last few months has given me a lot of hope.
Ray Park as Snake Eyes. Kick Ass Martial Artist and doesn't need to speak? This is the role that Park was born to play (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I'm fine with Ray Park as Snake Eyes (perfect casting, IMO, and the first costumed shots I've seen of him look badass). I'm fine with Quaid as General Hawk. He's among my favorite actors (in the "reliably gives a solid performance but not often remarkable" category), he's the right age, and I could buy him as a grizzled but still kick-ass old officer. I was thrilled when I heard Larry Hama was on board. He's The Master, hands down. Those comics shaped me in likely unhealthy ways, instilling in me a profound respect for our men and women in uniform, an insane fear of ninjas, and an uncanny sense of small unit tactics for my age at the time I read them.
But. I'm...just not feelin' it. Baroness is a blonde (and in the first screenshots, she IS a blonde, right there at a serviceman's funeral). The kid playing Duke looks like an extra on Dawson's Creek, not one of America's finest NCO's. It just looks bad. I imagine I'll like Ray Park and Dennis Quaid's screen time, out of the...what? Twelve, fifteen, character that are likely to share the movie with them significantly? So, uhh, yeah. About one sixth of the time, I guess I'll be happy. Though I am thinking of showing up at the theatre in my bluesuit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

If you do, you totally need to get pics and post them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Dammit. This is making me want to buy more toys. I've been avoiding the 25th anniversary stuff like the plague cause I have NO more freaking room for Joe stuff, but... Grrr. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ork.gif) |

One of my buddies (also in the 21st) has been making "custom 25th anniversary" figures of a bunch of us. He's way into the modeling/painting side of wargaming, and has been buying extras of certain figurines and then modding them up (with goatees, cigarettes, alternate paint schemes, whatever) to make 'em match us. It's been pretty cool stuff, and I've been impressed with the quality of figurine (even before he got his paws on 'em).
So far, though, I've also been able to resist the sweet siren's call of buying anything. Largely because I just don't know where I'd put them. |

Cool dragoncon pics, heh it's bad that I recognized y'all were eating at the Vortex before I saw the picture of the front door. Man, that brings back memories of that place, it's been years since I've eaten there. Maybe I'll go to dragoncon again one of these days.
