He'll fight for weird casting, wherever there's taste . . .GI Joe is here!

Didn't Bumblebee get blown up in that crossover, too? That's gotta be worth something.

 

Yes, the Joes blew up Bumblebee, thinking all of the giant robots were bad. After realizing their error, they rebuilt him. I think that was when he became Goldbug.

I forgot to come back and post this yesterday. The code-name of in issue #1 of the Marvel Comics series of a character we never saw in that series or in the toys was Shooter, after Jim Shooter. Apparently, some kind of story was given for Shooter in the Devil's Due series.

 

Morons! They should've let Megatron play hacky-sack with his head.
I never thought I'd see the day when SportsJournalists.com would have a G.I. Joe thread. I feel giddy ;D

 

Ha. I got into a conversation about this with two friends of mine last night. One of them manages a comic shop. He would put us all to shame in terms of knowledge of comic book history (you decide if it is his shame or ours). The other guy was a fan of the cartoon who is excited about the movie, but never read comics.

I challenged the comic store manager to come up with the 13 originals. Took him maybe five minutes to rattle them off. My other buddy asked which one of us was Steve Carell's character in the 40-Year-Old Virgin based on.

"Well, I have living, breathing proof that I'm not a virgin (my 4-year-old daughter), so....."

You have to watch what you say about guys with Marine training....

 

Why would Siena Miller get involved in this train wreck?

 

Yes, a truly respected actress lowering herself in such a manner. Disgraceful.

 

$$$

 

If they dress her up like Cleavage Girl from the Transformers, I won't have any complaints ...

 

True. Besides, she apparently survived the horror of having to make a film in "Shitsburgh"

edit: Sneak, good point. Unfortunately, they might also ask her to speak.

 

First Look: 'G.I. Joe's' Destro, Storm Shadow, General Hawk, Breaker, The Baroness and Heavy Duty

First question: Why the hell isn't Destro's head silver?

 

Maybe they couldn't find a way to do it without the mask looking ridiculous.

Can't say I love Storm Shadow's look. The rest of the costumes so far don't look too bad.

 

Their unis look like something out of Max Steel. About Destro, maybe something happens to him in the movie and later on he has to wear the silver mask. I dunno. But I have very, very low expectations for this.
