It's not Dr. Who... by StarWarsRedux	Feb 12th, 2008 01:20:16 AM
...It's the Doctor, damnit. THE DOCTOR. Seriously. "Who Joins Joe"? It doesn't even make fucking sense.
If it was a question there would be... by Heckles	Feb 12th, 2008 01:20:54 AM
a question mark. DAMMIT! And I prefer to call him Dr. Whom, thanks.
You have to watch this... by drsjcint	Feb 12th, 2008 01:22:25 AM
What is this crap? I always thought Harry was a "blue collar" movie reviewer, but I've been reading some stuff online tonight that changed my opinion. Went to youtube and entered his name, this is like the third video that came up: What the hell is this? If Harry reads this, bro, I won't make fun of your weight, I'm a chill guy. But, please for yourself and I think engaged or married right? change your lifestyle and eating/drinking habits for your family. You don't need to have six-pack abs, but seriously bro, you need to get out of a wheelchair. There are long term healthy lifestyle choices you can make without crash dieting and in a year you can get down to 240-260 and walk by yourself. Please man...
Will we see some B.A.T. soldiers? by tehBIGIvan	Feb 12th, 2008 01:26:37 AM
B.A.T soldiers are cobra's strength. I would like to see them takle the concept of terrorists having the ability to endlessly produce a robot soldier army larger than any other nation's army.
Got to LOVE his work in The Others... by JimCurry	Feb 12th, 2008 01:29:10 AM
He's in it for like 10 minutes. but yeah, LOVE his freakin work in it...
Can't tell if this good... by tehBIGIvan	Feb 12th, 2008 01:29:23 AM
...until I see how well Chris's acting comes through the make-up the role requires.
GI Joe-Transformers Cross Over by Musicballs	Feb 12th, 2008 01:33:42 AM
Has anyone seen the Transformers episode where a villain who sounds suspiciously like Cobra Commander turns a bunch of the Transformers into humans and then at the end he yells out "Cobra!!!!" It was the greatest.
Probably gonna be lame by beetlegeuse	Feb 12th, 2008 01:34:28 AM
but maybe... just maybe, it might be kickass!..probably not, but i'm hoping

not Eccelston. Check your own linked source. Spelling matters.
Body massage. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 02:23:51 AM
If this flick doesn't have any porkchop sandwiches in it it'll totally suck. Well, even more than it's already going to suck. Just seeing the names attached so far is enough to know that I won't ever see this, and knowing is half the battle.
Sounds like crraaaaappp by skywalkerfamily	Feb 12th, 2008 02:34:36 AM
Where's some Transformers news?
Isn't Destro supposed to be a badass Nigga? by Han Cholo	Feb 12th, 2008 03:05:16 AM
I always thought someone like Lawrence Fishburne would be the one to play Destro. I mean he has the deep voice, looks like Destro when he's bald - Morpheus. All they'd have to do is add a chrome prosthetic and you'd have Destro. But they decided to go with a white, English actor instead? What?!?
nice catch blanco nino... by BadMrWonka	Feb 12th, 2008 03:19:44 AM
to bad your ass got saaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked...
Why is Eccleston by kwisatzhaderach	Feb 12th, 2008 03:20:03 AM
appearing in this crap? I mean the guy is one of the greatest actors of his generation and he's now working with Stephen Sommers?!
Destro was Scottish NOT a Brit by Monkey_King	Feb 12th, 2008 04:21:14 AM
Get it right!!!
Eccleston = slumming for cash by Mullah Omar	Feb 12th, 2008 04:28:17 AM
You cannot tell me he is involved in this for artistic satisfaction.
Would of made a fine Snowjob by Queerbait	Feb 12th, 2008 04:41:17 AM
with that accent. It's too bad. Destro should be played by someone with more temblor in his voice. It's too bad Sticky Fingaz didn't take acting classes.
Hey Monkey_King - Scotland is part of Britain! by IanR1975	Feb 12th, 2008 05:14:37 AM
Get it right!!!
kwisatzhaderach by Lost Jarv	Feb 12th, 2008 05:21:27 AM
It's because he isn't picky (despite what he makes out)- remember him as the (lame) villain in Gone in 60 Seconds?
Nationalism - lesson for Monkey_King by BobWalnut	Feb 12th, 2008 05:27:37 AM
Great Britain = England, Scotland, Wales. The United Kingdom adds Northern Ireland and a few islands (Isle of Man, Channels etc)
"He's from Scotland. In England" by Lost Jarv	Feb 12th, 2008 05:38:52 AM
Best line from A life less ordinary. And it always makes me laugh.
Molestro by LaserPants	Feb 12th, 2008 05:48:17 AM
That could be a good name for a character. His backstory would be something like he was a Catholic priest who just loved diddling kiddies until Cobra enlisted them for their Global Molestation Initiative. (The secret double whammy coming when we all find out that Cobra is actually a front organization financed by the US Govt as a way to justify the insane budget for the endless fake war fought by the GI JOE corps. Any similarities to ongoing events taking place in real life right now is wholly coincidental. )
Eccelston by giallo_25	Feb 12th, 2008 06:40:26 AM
did anyone else see the BBC4 world cinema awards? Where Eccleston is praising the actor who played the Spanish General guy in Pans Labrynth at says, and I quote 'thats why I don't play villains, I just can't do it.' Nice one Eccelston you tit. This film will be a piece of shit anyway, but there you go, straight from the horses mouth.
Never watched Who, but since this is the guy by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 06:57:08 AM
who was the asshole military leader in 28 Days Later I can see this working out nicely.
Dr. Whoooo (hey!), Dr. Who, Dr. Whoooo (hey!), Dr. Who by BeeDub	Feb 12th, 2008 07:05:08 AM
Dr. Who.
Who? WHO? by magnius	Feb 12th, 2008 07:31:15 AM
That's one thing that pisses me off about the new Dr Who!! Where is the damned question mark? His name isn't Who...the title is supposed to be a question as no-one knows The Doctors name!! For years in the UK it was called "Dr Who?" RTD needs a kick in the balls!!
If you want conclusive proof that Eccleston is a tit by Lost Jarv	Feb 12th, 2008 07:53:14 AM
check out his interviews before playing the Doctor. He spouted some of the most pretentious drivel I've ever read.
a black sheriff? by cathartist	Feb 12th, 2008 07:57:49 AM
Destro was black dammit! At least he was in the comics. But the invisible guy from Heroes looks pretty bad-ass so i can let it slide.
magnius by Meglos	Feb 12th, 2008 08:19:14 AM
No. No it wasn't.
Lost Jarv by Meglos	Feb 12th, 2008 08:19:47 AM
No. No he didn't.
Eccleston only does one series of DR. WHO, but he'll do this? by SpyGuy	Feb 12th, 2008 08:55:55 AM
Let's see...The world's longest-running science-fiction series or a film adaptation of an '80s animated series based on a line of action figures. Jesus, Chris, at least David Tennant appeared in a Harry Potter film...
WILLEM DAFOE FOR COBRA COMMANDER!!! by Shermdawg	Feb 12th, 2008 09:00:28 AM
Please, for the love of all that is holy and sacred, cast him.
this only causes sadness by INWOsuxRED	Feb 12th, 2008 09:06:27 AM
I feel bad for anyone cast in this.
DEAD ON ARRIVAL by uss cygnus	Feb 12th, 2008 09:16:04 AM
You can make it, but we ain't buying UN JOE. See you in the "Direct to DVD" file.
Love Eccleston. He never should have left Dr. Who by EvilGeek1	Feb 12th, 2008 09:29:26 AM
When he left the show, it went seriously down-hill. Now the Doctor is a fucking pretty boy with converse! They just take the piss out of themselves far too much and have lost sight of what used to make Who great. And it's a shame because I want to like Tenant, but I'll always remember him as the guy who fucked up a great character. Come back Eccleston!
Destro by KillianXX	Feb 12th, 2008 10:27:31 AM
was a black guy with a metal heard... did nobody tell the casting director that?

what's next? the damn snorkels?
Destro will turn out as bad as Dr. Doom by finky089	Feb 12th, 2008 10:50:02 AM
mark my words. Tho' that ain't going to be a surprise to anyone based on what we've heard about this movie so far.
KillianXX and others... by LordPorkington	Feb 12th, 2008 10:50:53 AM
Destro was NOT a black guy with a metal head, he was a Scottish white guy who wore a metal helmet that was passed down from earlier generations of his family. Sure, he may have been voiced by a black guy in the cartoon series, just like Darth Vader was voiced by a black guy, his character is actually white. So the casting director has got it right and you need to go and read some GI Joe and get your facts right. End of rant.
WILLEM DAFOE ?? fuck no! by FleshMachine	Feb 12th, 2008 10:52:28 AM
he's way too soft spoken. need someone slightly scary...not slightly gay.
Get New Director!!!! by FleshMachine	Feb 12th, 2008 10:55:33 AM
interesting casting with this one...but god this will be a shallow wreck. the vietnam vet angle, snake eyes /storm shadow old school characters plots would make an amazing film. this sound like it'll be some re-invented train wreck.
Dafoe would make a good Cobra Commander by finky089	Feb 12th, 2008 10:56:28 AM
too bad it'll end up being Carrot Top
Look forward? by ballyhoo	Feb 12th, 2008 10:59:05 AM
"for now, we can look forward to his villainous shenanigans in Stephen Sommers' GI JOE."..... Not with Sommers in charge. The man is a living, breathing insult to good film.
FleshMachine...uh Green Goblin??? by Shermdawg	Feb 12th, 2008 11:04:02 AM
Also, where the hell were you when Chris Latta was voicing C.C. & Starscream? Those characters definitely sounded "slightly gay".
LordPorkington's right about Destro, but who cares re: color by finky089	Feb 12th, 2008 11:08:55 AM
if he's a black guy or a hispanic guy or red-headed cross-eyed half-Inuit. He'll be wearing a mask. ANd even if the mask comes off at some point- still, who cares as long as the actor can accurately portray the "spirit" of the character. Something NOT liekly to happen so much with - say- Wayans as Ripcord. But, whatever. This movie sounds terrible beyond redemption so far.
cathartist, I don't know what comic you've by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 11:11:50 AM
been reading, but Destro was white as a ghost. First, he's Scottish. Scottish going back centuries. The dude is lilly white. In one issue of Joe, I'll have to dig through my closet to find the number, Baroness is consider leaving the whole Cobra/terrorist/military thing behind. Destro said he would give it all up for her. He takes off the mask, you see his face for the first time, and they kiss. Now I don't know if in the newer issues of Joe, the non-Marvel ones after the first series, they retconned the character, but he's as white as they come.
Jim Carrey as Barbecue a la Fire Marshall Bill by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 11:13:00 AM
Search your feelings, you know this to be true.
Does anybody remember by systemsbroom	Feb 12th, 2008 11:13:34 AM
The GI Joe episode that got "political"? Some reporters were hassling GI Joe about how expensive the Joe program was, and about how Cobra didn't really exist, in an effort to get GI Joe shut down, but then, it turned out the reporters were all Cobra agents in disguise! Just goes to show you: whenever somebody criticizes ridiculous military spending, they are probably just the Baroness in rubber mask trying to trick you.
Scarily yes, I remember that one. by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 11:15:59 AM
The anchor's name was Hector Ramirez, a thinly veiled spoof of Geraldo. But, if I recall, he was real, and all his co-workers/crew were Cobra agents. It's scary how much minutia is stuck in my head.
Yes! He was Geraldo! by systemsbroom	Feb 12th, 2008 11:23:23 AM
Now that I think of it, there were a whole slew of episodes where Cobra pretended to be somebody else so they could shut down GI Joe for budgetary reasons. Like that "watchdog" episode, I think.
Quaid as Hawk and now this? by moviemaniac-7	Feb 12th, 2008 11:26:25 AM
Sounds cooler and cooler to me. Now toss out the juvinile cast and you're on the right way!
Eccleston is great...but... by lynxpro	Feb 12th, 2008 11:46:14 AM
...he's not exactly buff. He's also not Scottish. The story behind Destro's mask was that it was handed down in the family and his ancestor had earned it by having backed the wrong side in the "English Civil War" and provoked the wrath of Oliver Cromwell himself. The mask was meant as punishment. That's from what I remember without hitting up Wikipedia. Then there's Destro's Illuminati-esque cult that has that octopus creature underneath the family castle. But I digress.
Destro Workout Program by ProfGriffin	Feb 12th, 2008 11:52:47 AM
I'm fine with the talent...Eccleston is a fantastic actor...who can no doubt affect a slight Scottish in old Chrome Head...but either the costume designer will have to be creative...or Chris will have to undergo a massive work-out schedule. Since I seriously doubt that...I vote for dramatic costume. Still I'm going to miss that huge buff guy in the silver mask with exposed cut chest and red medallion. Egads! Did that sound gay! At least we don't have a shirtless buff bald guy in a cape and monicle... ...yet.
Cobra Plots: "Cold Slither." by Cletus Van Damme	Feb 12th, 2008 11:54:00 AM
You guys remember the episode where I think Zartan and his merry band of assholes pretended to be a rock band called "Cold Slither" in order to either ruin GI Joe or recruit their fans to the dark side?
well, at least it's not RATNER!! by RustyStardust	Feb 12th, 2008 11:56:46 AM
cause, that would be BAD!! RIGHT?!!!
He was hawt in "The Seeker". by Anna Valerious	Feb 12th, 2008 12:20:01 PM
Anyway, I had to scribble out a humorous comic where Doctor Who thinks that Destro is a Cyber Man and tries to hold him back with a gold bar. Destro thusly 'yoinks' the gold bar out of his hand. Dammit, I wish I had a scanner for moments like these...
Cameo by Randy Quaid as Crocmaster by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 12:22:41 PM
Keeping it all in the family. Crocmaster was buff, but I can see a beergutted Cousin Eddie type working out as well. Never been able to figure out what happened in the Quaid gene pool. Dennis is in his fifties, and totally buff and handsome. Randy, well he's a great actor, but uh....
"The Viper" by vaudeville villain	Feb 12th, 2008 12:41:44 PM
anyone remember the episode where GI Joe were in a frenzy over a supposed terrorist known as the "Viper," who turned out to be a (German?) window wiper... who pronounced his w's as v's. "i am the viper... i vish to vash your vindows." even as a kid i thought that was the lamest plot ever.
Vaudeville, unfortunately I remember that one by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 01:43:33 PM
Truth is the cartoon, was okay, with a good plot once in a while. The comic was great with stupid plots every once in a while.
As long as we're waxing nostalgia does any by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 01:45:42 PM
one remember the episode where CC calls Zartan who tells CC the Dreadnoks are occupied in political debate. Pan to a melee where they are debating whether the term is "breath mint" or "candy mint" including an instance of one of them dragging an alligator from the swamp, and throwing it at their opponent. Must've learned that move from Croc Master.
WTF are they thinking? by mascan42	Feb 12th, 2008 01:53:27 PM
Isn't Destro supposed to be a big burly guy? How did they cast the tall lanky Eccleston in the role?
Destro was bleck? by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 01:58:54 PM
Um, wearing a black uniform does not actually make somebody black...
Hey Shermdawg... by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 02:01:56 PM
The Cobra Commander idea would be badass, but since he's always portrayed as a clown in the cartoons they'll probably give the role to Andy Dick or something...
but the question is... by smackfu	Feb 12th, 2008 02:17:01 PM
will he bow out of the sequel clause due to fears of being type cast in Hollywood as a guy with a chrome head? And who are they going to get to play the Body Massage guy?
THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR FOR ZARTAN!! by vaudeville villain	Feb 12th, 2008 02:19:51 PM
sorry... that's who zartan always reminded me of as a kid. well if not him, get stallone.
That's a stupid question, Smackfu. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 02:26:52 PM
Bob Sapp is the body massage machine.
so long as they don't cast... by vaudeville villain	Feb 12th, 2008 02:28:29 PM
Angelina Jolie in the role of the Baroness. i swear, if she's in ONE more movie with that damned 'accent' of hers... yes, i'm looking at YOU Alexander and Beowulf.
vaudeville villain by Shermdawg	Feb 12th, 2008 02:31:04 PM
If Angelina was in every movie, I'd go to the theater more often.
Didn't they already cast Baroness? by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 02:32:13 PM
I could've sworn the role was going to Sienna Miller or some such shit. Personally, I'd give it to Katja Kassin. And by give it to her, I mean I'd totally have sex with her.
I agree, Shermdawg by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 02:34:24 PM
Well, as long as the movie was Angelina Jolie Loves Brianna Banks or Anal Assault 73 or something.
Doug Jones for Destro. by skywalkerfamily	Feb 12th, 2008 02:54:19 PM
Hey, he doesn't talk much.
Pops Freshemeyer by Dr. Stanley Goodspeed	Feb 12th, 2008 03:06:59 PM
i was in the middle of drinking coffee when i read that and i spit it all over my monitor... hahaha, thank you.
Glad to be of service. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 03:09:10 PM
You do know that I'm not going to buy you a new monitor, right?
If you watch the cartoon...... by Han Cholo	Feb 12th, 2008 03:15:45 PM
Not to sound racist but Destro has the look of a black man, he talks like an educated black man, he even has a diabolical black man laugh. He says the word "chaos" like a black man. If it looks like a black man and talks like a black man, guess what?
They hired Larry Hama as a supervisor! by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Feb 12th, 2008 03:20:30 PM
Now with the strike over, Larry Hama can make some alterations to the script, he invented the characters, so whatever happens will be the new canon.
ughhh by slkboxrman	Feb 12th, 2008 03:22:46 PM
the references to dr who cares? continue...im sure he'd rather be associated with heroes first and foremost...ive watched ecclestons who, it sucked for the most part, the dialogue and especially the special effects...if i had to choose which cyborg race was more scarier, the borg would easily beat the daleks or whatever theyre called, they look like rejects from a star wars movie....as for the movie sucking, the new script has been reviewed at latinoreview and the guy gave it an A+ and that its loyal and faithful to the original material and will not be an acronym and will blow us away....and lastly of course theres the one or two fanboys that want some intelligence or something to this movie..i want a summer popcorn movie, not a movie thats massaging the balls of all u 'tards that check for inconsistencies in dialogue and such, and are any of u happy with any director ?? im sure if michael bay was directing it u would all be unhappy too.....i wish someone would say who they prefer as opposed to "he sucks" "any movie he makes is garbabe" ...but then again im dealing with kids that cant stop jerkin off and smokin pot in mommys basement to get a job and stop posting on the internet all day...what should i expect right
The cartoon means nothing! by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 03:24:53 PM
Nothing, I tells ya! And if you look at a Destro figure or the comics, you'll see that Destro's chest is white. Unless Destro suffers from vitiligo like Michael Jefferson, he is absolutley 100 per cent not black.
And he is also absolutely not black. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 12th, 2008 03:25:38 PM
Absolutely!
He was cast as Doctor Mindbender. by Yoda's Ball Sack	Feb 12th, 2008 03:53:39 PM
You Dolts!!!!!!
Cartoon blew chunks and I could give a rats ass about Nationalis by Monkey_King	Feb 12th, 2008 04:21:04 PM
so long as the film is cast right and it stays true to the Hama and Devils Due mythos. Destro was Scottish, yes. Scotland is part of the U.K., but doesn't make it all British. Too bad Gerard Butler wasn't cast as Destro, he'd be perfect(voice and body). Now, if only the filmmakers would drop this "Rex" nonsense and make Cobra Commander a bad-ass world terrorist with ties to Snake-Eyes and Zartan, this film will rock.
Bellucci should be the Baroness... by lynxpro	Feb 12th, 2008 04:36:32 PM
Sienna Miller should be cast in some other role. Bellucci has the looks and the accent appropriate of the character in question. Damn, would she look good in that outfit.
Belllucci would have been great as Baroness by finky089	Feb 12th, 2008 04:51:30 PM
then again, I'd watch Bellucci in just about anything...or in nothing at all for that matter
loved him in Elizabeth, but.. by sith_rising	Feb 12th, 2008 05:54:53 PM
this movie just sounds fucking atrocious. I loved the Prequels and have never been one of those "raped my childhood" guys, but this movie is really raping my ass good. now I know how my Transformers-loving buddy felt about a year ago...
Billy Zane by Sailor Rip	Feb 12th, 2008 06:36:53 PM
I don't get it. Is he not available. I like Eccleston and all but this just seems obvious.
Stereotypical Evil Archer, that's good news, but by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 06:50:15 PM
old news. If they follow his advice though, the movie has a shot at being great.
Billy Zane has been in great movies, but by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 12th, 2008 07:48:39 PM
he's also been in some turkeys. It's not that he's a bad actor. Quite the contrary, he's great. However, he has made some questionable movie choices, and probably isn't interested in this type of movie again.
You spelled Vin Diesel wrong by bah	Feb 12th, 2008 08:50:47 PM
It's spelled as above. Glad to hear Vin Diesel is finally getting to play the role he was born for.
Care Less by Wcwlkr	Feb 12th, 2008 10:23:16 PM
I could care less about this piece of crap. From the casting of that kid from Step Up as Duke for God sakes! To Marlon Freaking Wayans and no Roadblock. This movie will be a bigger piece of crap than Michael Bay's butt raping of Transformers.
Kevin J. O' Connor by DarthCorns	Feb 12th, 2008 10:26:28 PM
was cast as a minor character for G.I. Joe. Just saying
Whens by Series7	Feb 12th, 2008 10:41:38 PM
Nick Cannon going to get casted as Sgt. Slaughter, man that shit is going to be hella tight with him and the wrongly casted not Major Payne nor Most Wanted Wayans brother busting jokes.
Meglos by Lost Jarv	Feb 13th, 2008 04:03:14 AM
erm, yes he did. It was a load of bollocks about trying to capture the intrinsic loneliness of the Doctor's soul. It was really cringeworthy stuff.
MEGLOS!! by magnius	Feb 13th, 2008 04:30:22 AM
Yes, yes it was you idiot!! "Dr Who?" (with question mark) was the title of the series in the UK since it's first black & White episodes. Only truly stupid people think The Doctors name is Who. The title refers to the mystery surrounding his name...hence the title is a question.
And Desto's colour by magnius	Feb 13th, 2008 04:31:40 AM
He is WHITE!!! Don't any of you know how to use google? Don't any of you own the figure? If he is black then he is the palest black guy since Micheal Jackson!!
Destro was Black by Stalkeye	Feb 13th, 2008 08:06:46 AM
Well atleast in the Devil's Due GIJ comic. He was revealed to be the bastard child of (the orginal) James McCullen Destro. ergo Destro Jr. If anyone could play the Baroness it's definatly Monica. I vote Russel Crowe for Zartan and Daniel Day Lewis would make a great Dr.Mindbender (especially after watching his performance in TWBB.)
Stalkeye, I think everyone will agree that by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 13th, 2008 08:20:50 AM
any non-Marvel comic version is non-canon. He was white in that one. Question on Devil's Due to show you how long it's been since I visited comic book guy, is that an issue, or an actual independent comic company. I forget who did a version of Joe after Marvel. If they made Destro black they seriously screwed up. I could care less if he's black, white, or orange, but they gotta be consistent with Marvel canon.

The Devil's Due/Image comic is somewhat canon to Marvel as it is a continuation of the series.Even Joe creator Larry [Hama] had written a few issues for one of the Joe spinoff titles. Me personally, there is only ONE destro,his son was mainly used as a plot device for added suspense during the 4 issues of the 2001 miniseries. So now you know, and knowing is...ah fuck it.
Okay, that's what I thought. The Image comic by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 13th, 2008 09:51:46 AM
had Destro as black, but it is not the same Destro as in the Marvel version, but his son. Did I get that right? One of the best Destro issues was the one where he came back to his castle only to find an impostor Destro there. His guards kept it simple. The one who beats the other in fisticuffs is the real Destro. Of course real Destro won, and the phony turned out to be Bludd.

...so he can do some of the interesting theatre he's been talking about or to go off and do some more challenging indy movies, then fair enough. Expectations some of you have for a GI Joe movie are fuckin' laughable.
Oh I see by smackfu	Feb 13th, 2008 11:08:05 AM
Since he's an evil criminal he's gotta be a black man, right? One only needs to take a quick look at Destro to see what facial feature makes you all subconciously think he's black. racist motherfuckers! www.cracked.com/jp/destro3.jpg
oh and FYI by smackfu	Feb 13th, 2008 11:10:36 AM
If you look at any full body shots of Destro you can clearly see exposed white skin under the zipped open part of his jacket, despite his big lips, penchant for stealing things and dodging his phone bill.
Scay thing is the guy who did Destro's voice by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 13th, 2008 01:03:50 PM
looks a lot like him. Just shave his head, and paint his face silver. By the way, the voice actor was of course black. http://images.search.yahoo.com /search/images/view?back=http% 3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.co m%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF -8%26p%3DArthur%2520Burghardt% 26fr2%3Dtab-web%26fr%3Dyfp-t-5 01&w=132&h=162&imgurl=www.joeh eadquarters.com%2Fvo%2Fburghar dt.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.j oeheadquarters.com%2Fvo%2Finde x.shtml&size=11.7kB&name=burgh ardt.jpg&p=Arthur+Burghardt&ty pe=jpeg&no=3&tt=23&oid=0f4180c 71a4d2716&ei=UTF-8
If anyone recalls, when Destro was introduced by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 13th, 2008 01:06:11 PM
in the comic, Marvel used to have commercials for them. (Bill was probably footed by Hasbro). They didn't do it much beyond issue 14 I want to say. Anyway, the guy in the commercial had a so-so voice. It was okay. Then the cartoon came up with Arthur Burghardt, and they nailed it.
And here's a scary thought by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Feb 13th, 2008 01:07:57 PM
Michael Bell, who like Frank Welker has done everything under the sun in voiceovers was Duke. Well, it appears he was also the voice behind the talking tub of Parkay maragrine.
More Claude Please. by smeagol2	Feb 13th, 2008 09:41:39 PM
CE needs to go back and put some spice in heroes. I really got to like CE as Claude. I just hope this movie does not turn out to be another F4. Season 3 of Doctor Who stunk, except for a few episodes. DT is ok, but I am ready for a new Doctor. Get that guy from Jeykll.
