Titan Books & AICN Want To Give You One Of Five Copies Of G.I. JOE: MISSION DOSSIER!!
Merrick here...
The G.I. JOE movies opens this weekend; really liked it myself (details HERE) and I can't wait to see what y'all think.
To get you ready for the film, AICN and Titan Books are giving you the chance to snag one of five copies of Titan's G.I. JOE: Mission Dossier.
I generally prefer to actually see a product before offering it to readers via contest. Alas, the forces of COBRA conspired to intercept the copy Titan sent for consideration - so I haven't actually looked through this thing yet.
However, I've been rather (to very) impressed with Titan's recent movie tie-ins...TERMINATOR SALVATION (HERE) and WATCHMEN (HERE)...so I feel reasonably comfortable offering up this JOE title for your esteemed consideration without having given it the once over.
According to my buddy at Titan, this publication contains:
-144 pages
- G.I. JOE Personnel Files on all your favourite heroes, including General
Hawk and Snake Eyes.
- Profiles on the G.I. JOE team's enemies, including the Baroness and Storm
Shadow.
- Cast and crew commentary on the making of this blockbuster movie.
- Details of the high tech equipment featured in the movie, including the
accelerator suit, vehicles and weaponry.
- Hundreds of full-color stills and production art!
So, what do you gotta do to get it? It's simple.
** Sometime between the time you read this and 11:59 PM CST USA on Sunday August 9, send an e-mail to me via the link below. You can enter twice a day for each of the contest's five days ( = 10 entries total).
** Include your name and mailing address in this e-mail. The address is to expedite prize shipment only and will be summarily discarded once book recipients are chosen. No spam, no mailing lists, etc.
** CONTEST IS OPEN TO INTERNATIONAL READERS!!!
** Be sure to send from an ACTIVE (and frequently checked) E-MAIL ACCOUNT. If I try to reach you & my message bounces back? I'll trash your win and move on to the next closest winning contestant I can reach.
** I've already pre-selected ONE time of day between today (Wednesday) and Sunday (five days, one copy awarded per day). The person who e-mails me at (or closest to) this time will receive a copy of the book. NOTE: I've been asked this before, so...for clarity...I'm using whatever time is stamped on the Yahoo mailing address established for this contest as the determiner. I'm in Central Time USA, so I guess that's a CST time stamp (?).
** The five recipients will be announced Monday morning.
** Titan will have your addresses in hand Monday morning & they've been kind enough to handle fulfillment in this contest. Books should be shipped very early next week. Probably, but not necessarily, Monday.
** As a general FYI, you should know that...due to the number and frequency of entries...recipients in past contests were sometimes selected by matters of seconds. Literally.
So now you know. And knowing...may or may not impact your victory in this game of random chance.

There's a lot of bad-ass design in the film, so I'm thinking this book could be a lot of fun. If my copy arrives before contest's end, I'll UPDATE this article to let you know how it is.
You can find Titan's G.I. JOE Mission Dossier HERE
, or learn more about it via Titan's site HERE.
Now deploy! Yoooooooooooooooo JOE!

11 fresh, 1 rotten. The news will either make you happy or dissapointed depending on whether you are a movie geek or an asshole.
-
but HARRY KNOWLES AND HIS INVESTORS GOTTA EAT
-
What are they afraid of? Doesn't anyone at that studio look at Rotten Tomatoes? Most of the reviews have been good so far.
-
such as SEAGALOGY by Vern and I have reason to believe the upcoming YIPPY KY YAY MOVIEGOER by Vern is pretty good. But even before they were associated with a writer of that caliber they did an amazing coffee table book about all the Friday the 13th movies called CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES. If you're a fan of those movies it will crush your skull and cause an eyeball to pop out in 3-D.

For when I run out of wood and need to burn something on the fire.

Notice how Snake-Eyes and Baroness are all the cover pics and posters? I assure you Duke and JarJar -- er, Wayans "RipCord" are the "stars" of this movie. The studio KNOWS they fucked up with Sommers, so they're highly publicizing Snake-Eyes and Baroness because they're the only two characters that actually look like they're supposed to. But once the movie stars, it will be all Puke and JarJar Wayans. Expect it. This "cool" marketing is just a ploy to get fans of REAL Joe stuff into the theaters to boost up their opening weekend gross. "Gross" is a good word to describe it. This entire movie and everything associated with it is a gross defamation of heroism. No advance screening for critics. What's that tell ya? The last time I remember that happening was eleven years ago with the "Avengers" (that godawful one Sean Connery was in).

after the contest draws two entries?
-
but the TV promo quotes Harry Knowles 3 times.
Aint it fail. -
...but y'all need to go back to art/short story/whatever entries instead of emails. I miss participating in, and seeing what other talkbackers came up with.

Lets not let her down.

somebody say something interesting!!
-
wish they were making a "corps" movie instead!
-
where's the cool news?
-
Where did the Perfect Escape talkback go?
-
Didnt we have a talkback for that before? Let's talk here. What's the word on the acting of "Thor", is he in it enough to tell?
-
I asked the same thing in a couple of the other TBs - it was here when I last visited.Does anyone know if it was pulled for someone posting the ending? If so then why not just the Banhammer - or were they considered a king ding-a-ling around here or something and too big to ban.
-
...has been bitching about this movie in the other talkbacks should be automatically disqualified.
-
Getaway will soon get a much nicer review on this site.
-
Turns out Massi posted the review too early and broke an embargo so it had to be pulled - I have been assured it will reappear later though
-
great thanks. Not sure why I cared so much...
-
That would be so sad if I was disqualified from winning a $2 comic book. How would I be able to continue living?
-
Personally, I would find it irritating if someone that had incessantly bitched about this movie were to win, no matter if it was $2 or $100.
Besides, I don't think this is a $2 comic book. -
Weren't the winners supposed to be announced yesterday morning? I want to win this book!
-
yes, badstar, you and me both! i want this book!
-
$2.50?
