G.I.JOE..THE NEW MILLENNIUMS MEGA FORCE! by Redfive!	Jun 10th, 2008 09:09:39 PM
Next summers line up looks so awful.

EXACTLY what I was thinking, Redfive! by tylerzero	Jun 10th, 2008 09:12:50 PM
Mega Force was great 80's crap. This just looks like crap.
GI JOE: Taking Crap to the next level: Now you Know by Stormwatcher	Jun 10th, 2008 09:39:47 PM
Seriously, the Mummy guys is directing this? I want Jakson Public to direct this, Venture Bros is far better at it. Also, why the crappy pics? Where are the cool Star Wars booth official shots, like of LucasArts employees asking for spare change and handing out resumes.
GI JOE by duncanwk	Jun 10th, 2008 09:41:32 PM
Those shots did not look good.
I'm so happy Summers is doing GI Joe... by Flaggg	Jun 10th, 2008 09:50:09 PM
... so that he can't fuck up the Landover adaptation written by Terry Brooks. Ass.
Where the Wild Things Are by kungfuhustler84	Jun 10th, 2008 10:10:21 PM
the old plan sounded much better than starting over. then again, it probably would not have made much money, which I guess is more important than creating something truly different any more.
I just found out that they are going to change the GI Joe toys by Oski	Jun 10th, 2008 11:15:32 PM
to be exclusively movie based. That means if you haven't already, you might want to start collecting those 25th anv toys.
I'm hoping... by brattyben	Jun 10th, 2008 11:19:13 PM
along with everyone else that WTWTA will be great. But after reading all of the restarts gives me some pause.
Gi Joe Looks like SHIT.... by Nuking the Fridge	Jun 10th, 2008 11:57:06 PM
Really, it looks like the stuff I flush down the toilet.
Oh...StormShadow looks like SHIT too.... by Nuking the Fridge	Jun 10th, 2008 11:59:36 PM
It looks like they got this costume at some toy section in a Chinese Liquor Store.

I smell a tie-in.
Licensing show always sucks, do you need a Ray Parks Interview by ShiniGamiSan	Jun 11th, 2008 01:21:26 AM
Man, the NYCLS is always lame, have you just started going there? SWhy would Marvel or DC set up huge displays, people going to this show already know what's out there. They save everything else for SDCC, where real people go. I think Ray gets back this week, I can see if anything new he can talk about. NYCLS, why even bother. And SDCC is overrun by n00bs and g33ks, so same story. If they'd just clear out all of the public, like old NYC Toy Fair at 200 5th Ave, and only let industry and appointments in, the universe would return to normal.
ShiniGamiSan by MC-909	Jun 11th, 2008 01:33:07 AM
Wow dude. That's probably the nerdiest thing I have ever read. And I visit this site every day.
Yeah the earlier TBers got it right Mega Force 2006 by SID 8.0	Jun 11th, 2008 03:25:48 AM
posing as GI JOE. Break out your head bands, tan satin bodysuits, and rainbow colored smoke screens.
Ahem excuse me 2009 my mistake by SID 8.0	Jun 11th, 2008 03:28:26 AM

what fucking good will a GIJoe Movie be.. by Stalkeye	Jun 11th, 2008 03:56:13 AM
..if they are (1)dressed in black, as one might not tell the difference between joe or cobra, (2)an international strike force stationed in brussels.this goes against the Real American Hero concept. and (3) the piss poor casting, i was psyched that ray park will be playing snake eyes, but marlon wayans as ripcord? sienna miller as baroness? (is Bellucci too busy nowadays?)and Josh Gordon Levitt as Cobra Commander?!? fuck, i'd rather have Steve Carell at least he has the potentual to mix dramatic elements with a bit of comedic flair. (NOTE:CC was never taken too seriously as the character is asomewhat of a parody of dictators and despots....well atleast in the cartoon. XD) I might not be seeing this when it comes out especially when the TBers are comparing it to Megaforce, which isn't a compliment by any means.
Rangers Apprentice... by Sailor Rip	Jun 11th, 2008 07:59:18 AM
...tell me that pic doesn't look like Luke in is RotJ garb.
Jeezus with the amount of cash this site makes by Rubiks Doob	Jun 11th, 2008 08:58:43 AM
You think the reporters could get oh say- real cameras instead of these shitty, out of focus shots from their cameraphones....
Rubiks by Quint	Jun 11th, 2008 09:01:24 AM
This isn't a press event. The reason these shots are out of focus is because for much of these exhibits photography is not allowed and our spy had to sneak the pics. Specifically the GI Joe pics.
Sailor by Quint	Jun 11th, 2008 09:02:22 AM
I thought the exact same thing. Still think it looks like Mark Hamill.
don't over react... by lynxpro	Jun 11th, 2008 09:18:01 AM
Look at how many people bitched on here about Transformers before it debuted. I have to hand it to Bay, that film was good and far better than I anticipated. The same could happen to GI Joe. As for internationalizing it - a bit - I can understand since in Europe/UK, they were known as Action Force. And maybe the director will make good. At least it isn't Uwe Boll or JJ Abrams directing. And as much as I wanted Monica Bellucci as the Baroness, you gotta admit that Sienna Miller looks the part in the pics released so far. I still say Donnie Yen should've been Storm Shadow, but Ray Park is a fantastic choice for Snake Eyes. I'm concerned about Cobra Commander the most because the actor picked is so left-field. I like Christopher Eccleston a lot [after all, I thought he'd make a better Joker than Heath Ledger and I'm still inclined to believe that], but for Destro, it is an "interesting" choice...perhaps Gerard Butler was too expensive after 300. But Dennis Quaid as Hawk is awesome and finally a non-Marvel Comic actually brings Hawk front-and-center instead of lame Duke. I always had issues with that character - especially via the cartoon - since it was absolutely ridiculous for a Master Sarge like him giving orders to officers. Hawk was the leader in the comics, who reported to General Flagg and others. But in the movie, does Hawk start out as a colonel or a brigadier general?
You are right red five... by XOMuffintop	Jun 11th, 2008 09:55:10 AM
But the chick playing Scarlett is still really hot.
Megan Foxx by nastee_flembot	Jun 11th, 2008 04:34:39 PM
If she were a shemale. I'd suck her dick.
