I'm almost excited to see how lame this film is going to be.
Does EVERYONE in this movie wear all black? by rev_skarekroe	Nov 7th, 2008 10:41:45 AM
Even The Matrix had that one chick in white.

Poppin Fresh Master maybe.
This guy??? by GrandMuffTarkin	Nov 7th, 2008 11:14:48 AM
Hopefully he doesn't have any lines, cause I don't think he can act his way out of a paper bag. I only remember him from getting his ass kicked in some way, shape, or form by the lead heavy.
so lemmie get this straight by Circean6	Nov 7th, 2008 11:22:57 AM
-Duke & the kid from 3rd Rock go on a mission, and the kid disappears. -Duke will be young, good looking and angtsy. -Duke gets recruited for GI Joe -Duke meets Hawk the leader. -Wacky subplot with the guy in black who has taken a vow of silence who seems good with swords. -Lots of gunfights, the good guys never run out of ammo. -The guy who played Dr. Who and hated every sci-fi minuate of it becuase he is a "real" actor is up to no good, and in a feeble attempt at a "nod" to the fans they'll probably be a metal mask on a wall of antique weapons in his lair, but he won't wear it. -The quiet guy and the ninja in white fight at least three times but neither wins. -Cobra Commander is revealed as "gasp" the kid from 3rd rock who was corrupt and faked his death now Duke must stop his former best friend. -Hawk is killed, Duke is the new leader even though he just joined the team he is the prettiest, and angsty. -Last scene in the movie is the quiet guy taking off his mask and professing his love to Scalett, and guess what? He's handsome! -Stepehn Sommers tells everyone how brilliant he is in the DVD commentary and reminds listeners that Van Helsing is also availble on blue ray.
chuffsterUK by codymr	Nov 7th, 2008 11:23:11 AM
WOW! Thx for that! I love Cameron's T1 & t2... but I thought T3, while not as bad as it could have been, was pretty run of the mill and did not expand the story in any appreciable way - the cliffhanger ending was good though. Now, when I heard that McG (Charlie's Angels) was on T4, I had no interest at all. But, after that YouTube piece, they have my attention. It looks like this story might be good and I like the look and feel of the production art for the most part. so thx again. As for GI Joe... as you said "Fuck that." Other than Snake Eyes, the rest of this looks worse every time I see new pics online. This only got the green light because Bay did an OK job with Transformers and it made loads of cash... that's not a good enough reason to launch a new franchise.
Ohhhh, at first I thought this was a joke on JoBlo by LHombreSiniestro	Nov 7th, 2008 11:24:20 AM
I thought they had a picture of the guy from "Samurai Cop".....wow.....that...is.... shitty....
This Movie Will Chew Shit by BilboRing	Nov 7th, 2008 11:35:18 AM
No way is this going to be good. They fucking ruined Transformers and now they are out to get GI Joe!!
He's an Asian guy? With a fu manchu? by finky089	Nov 7th, 2008 11:36:56 AM
well, there's something I never saw coming... GI Joe and stereotypes go together like jews and misering, black folks and watermelon, and old Asian guys and fu manchu's. Yo Joe! (?)
^----and Stephen Sommers and crappy movies. by finky089	Nov 7th, 2008 11:38:11 AM

Awesome line...I wish I'd thought of it first.
the new transported man, it was Zartan, not Scrap Iron by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Nov 7th, 2008 12:16:58 PM
I heard one of the comics even said that Zartan contracted it out to Firefly, but I can't verify that.
Next Up: My Pretty Pony by www.valiens.com	Nov 7th, 2008 12:24:05 PM
Please haters of our youth... not My Pretty Pony too.
Evil Archer by the new transported man	Nov 7th, 2008 12:29:56 PM
You're right. Scrap Iron killed Soft Master, not Hard Master. I know this, but I didn't know my Congressional Representative when he introduced himself to me. I don't deserve to live.
Dude, it's the guy from Samurai Cop!! by StovetopStuffin'	Nov 7th, 2008 12:34:09 PM
Yes!!!! I hope GI Joe is at least at the same level of quality as that fine film.
There's no way this doesn't suck. by Lucasblows	Nov 7th, 2008 12:40:58 PM

This movie is gonna turd out awesome! by Wilclas	Nov 7th, 2008 12:45:30 PM
See that? English isn't my first language but at least I'm trying! Stephen Sommers isn't.
Is nothing sacred? by sfgeek	Nov 7th, 2008 12:48:21 PM
It just me sad... that they're even doing this. I think back to the awfulness of Transformers and how they stole my youth from me in a 2 hour debacle, and I know that the same will happen with Joe. The G.I. Joe movie, the real movie, is where it is at. Throw me Sepentor, Nemesis Enforcer, and the like and I'm in heaven... Jinx was bomb and it just saddens me that Cobra Commander turned in to a snake (ironic though, no?) Anyway, I didn't read the comics, but once they released those photos of the cast in their black costumes I knew it was over. Scarlett in black? Come on! But thank god she had her crossbow gun... because that is really what it was all about... I'm sad and props to Circean6 for nailing the plot on the head... fuck... I'm just sad about this whole 80's revival affair that has been full swing since the early 2000's. Now where the hell is my Thundercats live action flick! HELP ME MICHAEL BAY, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!
"makes" me sad... see? by sfgeek	Nov 7th, 2008 12:50:31 PM

The Venture Bros... by p0llk4t	Nov 7th, 2008 01:18:28 PM
did an awesome GI Joe parody. I laughed my ass off when one jet shoots the guy that parachuted out of another jet.
Overrated? by FleshMachine	Nov 7th, 2008 01:23:04 PM
the marvel series was one of the best comic lines EVER. the movie might well blow.

scrap iron killed soft master. zartan killed hard master.

a joke, right?
Hahaha by Wolfman Nards	Nov 7th, 2008 01:47:10 PM
Holy crap is this movie going to be laughably bad. Joseph Gordon Levitt, what are you doing in this piece of trash? I'd still like to see him take over the Joker's role.
Transformers sucked by Second Try	Nov 7th, 2008 02:03:30 PM
Gi Joe will suck too.

Snake Eyes pics got me excited by kungfuhustler84	Nov 7th, 2008 02:24:39 PM
now I kind of want to do what I can to see that this never gets released. Go back and try again assholes. not every Asian has to fit neatly into a stereotype. It's getting a little old too.
Oh man by MattmanReturns	Nov 7th, 2008 02:25:52 PM
That's the laziest costume design I've ever seen.
WEEEEEEEEAAAAAK by turketron	Nov 7th, 2008 02:48:22 PM
HAHAHA... looks crap
I'm still reeling from the shitty costumes by Charlie_Allnut	Nov 7th, 2008 02:56:32 PM
the joes are wearing in this movie. It should be difficult to fuck up this movie, but I think Sommers is trying very very hard.

Is hardly ever hard these days...dang but getting old sucks!! :p
get over it you fucking whiny cunts... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Nov 7th, 2008 03:26:28 PM
This movie looks cheesy and fun as hell. Exactly as it should be. Are you living in a fucking alternate dimension or some shit? G.I. Joe was always cheesy and patriotic to nauseating levels of corniness. What fucking toys and show did you assholes watch? Judging by the complaints, one would think Stephen Sommers was remaking On Golden Pond. Fuck. Grow the fuck up. Its a movie based on a cartoon created to sell action figures. Jesus FUCKING Christ.
Not to sound like a Jingoistic Nut or anything by Continentalop	Nov 7th, 2008 03:39:13 PM
But one of the reasons this will suck is because they definitely not taking the military aspect of it serious. Sure it was a comic based on a line of toys, and they had some pretty far out adventures, but whatever else you want to say about Larry Hama, the writer, he treated the professionalism of special forces soldiers very seriously. He gave us their ranks, pay grades, primary and secondary MOS, and originally all the firepower they carried where actual military weapons (save for Flash's laser). Sure they faced off with a man in an iron mask and had a member who was a mute ninja, but still they felt like a real military outfit. This is just Man enough for Mega-Force bad. And as for Channing Tatum, who originally didn’t want to be in this because he felt it glorified war, there is a difference between glorifying war and admiring the training, dedication and courage of soldiers. Hell, Sam Peckinpah was even able to do that about the German soldiers in WWII in “Cross of Iron!”
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD by Continentalop	Nov 7th, 2008 03:42:42 PM
The G.I. Joe I remember was the comic book, not the cartoon. I remember asking my father (a Korean War vet) about the terms and weapons that were brought up in the comic, and if they were accurate. He replied yes, and was pretty amazed they listed someone as an E-5 payscale and they talked about LRRPs. So I guess what I am saying is it holds a little bit of a fond place in my heart.
Oh Shit!!! TMNT Shredder Shoeshine Dude made Rank by DRACULA_WANTS_THE_AMULET	Nov 7th, 2008 03:46:17 PM
Man this fat old mutherfucker finally got a break!
Yeah but.... by Darth Macchio	Nov 7th, 2008 04:03:37 PM
Will anybody die in this? Was the comic like that? Cause the god damn cartoon nobody ever got killed. Basically it was a war to destroy each other's shit since no matter how big or small a character, they all parachuted or escaped to safety. The cartoon made a point of always showing the Cobra pilots parachuting to safety blah blah. I always hated that. When I played GI Joe I was always Snake eyes and I was always banging Scarlett and she had a baby that got tossed into a mutant-mix (blue magic sand and water) which mutated him into a giant red-headed monstrosity (my sister's Ragedy Andy doll) which of course...Snake Eyes had to kill to save the world...thereby breaking his mute heart. More to the point, you should have seen the arguemtns he and Scarlett had....signing furiously and shit. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. So Snake Eyes would usually go and beat the shit out of some Micronauts or maybe some robeless Jawas.
I'm digging the pot belly by jamestewart007	Nov 7th, 2008 04:05:56 PM
Those bellies are hard as fuck. He can most likely stop bullets with it. He's the Hard (belly) Master.
I could take that guy by StrokerX	Nov 7th, 2008 04:06:06 PM
but then again...i am a martial arts beast. In my mind.
Darth Macchio by Continentalop	Nov 7th, 2008 04:11:46 PM
I would pay to see that as a GI Joe movie. Especially Snake-eyes beating up some robeless Jawas. There is your film!
Funny stuff by m_prevette	Nov 7th, 2008 04:23:53 PM
The hate, I mean. The cartoons were pretty lame, come on. It's a line of TOYS. And people are bitching. Go figure.
"Funny Stuff" by Continentalop	Nov 7th, 2008 04:31:50 PM
I am not reacting to a movie based on toys or a cartoon, I am reacting based on a comic book I loved as a kid. A comic book written by a Viet Nam veteran who looked at it as a tribute to those who served with him. In fact many of the characters where named after friends, family and comrades who died serving with him. And to those who haven't read the comic, yes people died in it.
G.I. JOKE: The rise of Crap by webslinger48	Nov 7th, 2008 04:39:46 PM
F/X on this flick need to be completed by December even though it opens in August which is unheard of. Usually effects work extends til a month before the premiere for big movies such as this. The word is that Paramount is worried they may have a bomb on their hands and they want to see a full print as early as possible to see whether it's worth wasting marketing money on. Not sure what they're worried about; any movie with the astute casting of Marlon Wayans as Ripcord is destined for massive success.
Dont go the Wolverine & the other X-Men route by Raymar	Nov 7th, 2008 04:56:48 PM
And make this all about Snake Eyes. Duke lives!
Spoiler! Who kills the Hard Master....... by Loosejerk	Nov 7th, 2008 05:53:46 PM
I actually planned to spoil it as I don't think it'll part of the series or any sequel....but it was sweet as shit 2 issue storyline in the comics.
Lard Master! by CellarDweller	Nov 7th, 2008 07:29:55 PM
It's appropriate that this movie is about the military b/c it is going to TANK! Sorry, that was cheesy, but I stand by the comment. Haven't seen one thing from this movie that has inspired anything remotely close to confidence. The stuff I have seen makes Transformers look like The Godfather!
Wow. I could feel the hope slip out of me. by Mankind	Nov 7th, 2008 07:52:44 PM
Isn't that the guy Casey Jones beats up in the Ninja Turtles movies? I'd been hoping against hope for this one, but I think I'm just giving up right now. It took them decades to nail down an awesome Batman movie. Maybe my grandkids will see the good G.I.Joe movie.
The Hard Master was slim, the Soft Master fat in the comics... by Monkey_King	Nov 7th, 2008 09:08:58 PM
Get it right numbskulls. Plus, Snake Eyes didn't train with the Arashikage clan till after his family were killed by Cobra Commanders brother in a terrifying head-on collision.
Ok I'll say this once by Continentalop	Nov 7th, 2008 09:22:02 PM
Fuck the Hard Master! Fuck the Soft Master! Fuck the Arashikage clan! Fuck showing anybody's origin or back-story! Just have a movie about the new recruit into a top secret Special Forces Unit and his first mission with them against a terrorist organization called Cobra. Everything else can be in the sequels. How hard is that to do?
Continentalop by m_prevette	Nov 8th, 2008 08:10:49 AM
I'll take your word on the comics, until they get reprinted in an "Essential" volume I won't track them down. My exposure is just the toys and the awful cartoons. Can you recommend if there are any collections of the comics worth tracking down, any story arcs to look for?
Is it really that difficult to post the fucking pic here?!!! by alienindisguise	Nov 8th, 2008 08:11:53 AM
You should just change the damn site to "Ain't it Links to Cool News" Not that this is cool..G.I. Joe will suffer worse than the Transformers abomination. Gerald is the go to Asian dude for anything!
Enough by CloneWars	Nov 8th, 2008 10:05:53 AM
Please, quit covering the damn movie! It has train wreck written all over it.
It was Zartan by 4we8have15to16go23back42	Nov 8th, 2008 10:29:38 AM
that killed the Hard Master, Although that actor looks more like the soft master who was fat. The Hard Master was skinny & bald.
just got done texting my penis by sleepytones	Nov 8th, 2008 12:32:17 PM
and he said he looks exactly like Hard Master
Transformers had impressive special effects by Larry Sellers	Nov 8th, 2008 12:46:26 PM
What will GI JOE have? Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander? I'm sure he'll pull it off but the concept is just ridiculous. Honestly, what will this movie have to offer besides obscure 20 year old references that only the nostalgic will get off to? So far the costume designs and trite recruiting/origin story offer nothing interesting to look forward to.
So put in obscure Joe characters by Rufferto	Nov 8th, 2008 01:02:46 PM
to make it look authentic and then fuck up everyone else? Sure makes sense to me.
obscure comic characters I mean by Rufferto	Nov 8th, 2008 01:04:47 PM
hope this and Dragonball bombs.
Sorry,but I think GI JOE only works in a cartoon or comic medium by eoneon	Nov 8th, 2008 07:31:50 PM
this wont work as a live action film. too tongue in cheek. oh and btw,putz?!? nice name,it fits you, you faggoty trying to be first juvenile donkey raper. eat a cock! stop trying to be first!!!!! and go out and get laid bro... i mean seriously,do it
Name sucks but the dude is an actual Master by picardsucks	Nov 8th, 2008 09:35:36 PM
Has been profiled in many martial arts magazines over the years for his mastery of Judo, different forms of Karate and I believe Aikedo. Prob the only bonafided fighter in the film. I wouldn't fuck with him

Truth in advertising.
I think this isn't gonna be good... by BizarroJerry	Nov 9th, 2008 12:31:24 AM
I'm one of the biggest G.I. Joe fans you're gonna meet, and that's mostly due to the comic. You'll probably find that's true of any real big fans. I see no reason whey this shouldn't be treated like any other comic book movie. There was a lot of material in the comic that could've been used, while the silliest, campiest parts could've been sifted out. And yes, lots of people died in the comic book. Unfortunately, this movie seems to be being made without really understanding what was the best of G.I. Joe. There was a lot of potential for this to be good, but as usual Hollywood doesn't really get the point. Again, no reason this couldn't get the same "respect" a property like Iron Man or Batman gets.
Crap by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 9th, 2008 08:35:22 AM
In the comic the soft master was pleasantly plump, surprising for a ninja. Stormshadow was the young master. The Hard Master was rail thin. What sucks is if that he was still alive Mako would have been handed this role on a silver platter. They really should have given this to Ken W.
DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Nov 9th, 2008 08:37:42 AM
Like some other guy up there said, we don't want the toy/cartoon GI JOE. We want the comic book. Trust me my friend, there is a world of difference.
The Hard Master...a porn star name! by Drath	Nov 10th, 2008 10:36:11 AM
He should have a twin named The HAND Master, cause that's just one letter different! See how clever that is? Oooo I'm so proud of myself.....
