GI Joe Movie

To The Gas: You're reaching.

Last l checked Destro's only loyalty to Cobra was to their checkbook. Isn't that the primary goal of an arm's dealer? What's next? Duke's secret passion for dancing will save the day? Thanks Hollywood for trainwrecking my favorite franchise!

Script reviews here and here. Beware teh spoilarz.

First, The 'Joe team kinda sucks. Roadblock and Gung Ho plz. Yet Shipwreck ... awesome. Second, The Cobra's awesome. Crimson guard FTMFW! Now wheres Tomax and Zamont? I do like the fact all vehicles are CGI.

No HISS tanks. Boo.

I didn't read the script review, but I did read the posts responding to it. Didn't sound bad.

I don't. Build the real thing, motherfuckers.

the military should build actual HISS tanks and use them, that would be too sweet. thats what i would do if i was President, lol

I really want this movie to be good. More than I've wanted a movie to be good in a while. I don't even care if they fuck up the Joes, as long as they get Cobra perfect.

This is the best news I've heard yet:

This is fucking awesome. Larry Hama worked closely with Hasbro on the toy line and also wrote every issue of the Marvel G.I. Joe series, which is exactly what this movie should be using as its blueprint. He basically is the man that made G.I. Joe what is is today.

For those unfamiliar with Larry...

Hama said in a 2006 interview that he was given the job by then editor-in-chief Jim Shooter after every other writer at Marvel had turned it down.[2] Hama at the time had recently pitched a Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off series, Fury Force, about a daring special mission force. Hama used this concept as the back-story for G.I. Joe. He included military terms and strategies, Eastern philosophy, martial arts and historical references from his own background. The comic ran 155 issues (Feb. 1982-Oct. 1994).

Hama also wrote the majority of the G.I. Joe action figures' file cards—short biographical sketches designed to be clipped from the G.I. Joe and COBRA cardboard packaging.[3] In 2007 these filecards were reprinted in the retro packaging for the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero 25th Anniversary line.

Larry Hama on board? There is hope for this movie. Unless he's completely lost it and he doesn't know shit when he sees it.
