Ripcord: "Hey Duke remember all those great times we had!"
Duke: "um...no"
Ripcord: "Ya me neither..."

LOL!!

[Gentleman]

LOL indeed.

And I also get some "Bubba-Ho-Tep" vibe from this whole thing...



Ripcord: "Hey Duke remember all those great times we had!"

Duke: "um...no. Who the hell are you?"

Ripcord: "I'm Ripcord, dude!"

Duke: "yeah right and I'm The King. No offense, but Ripcord was a white man."

Ripcord: "They dyed me this color! That's how clever these Cobra fellows are!"

[Steel Brigade]

LOL Gentleman!! yeah let's hope the only jokes are the ones we are making, & not the movie itself.
As I said, I'll be staying positive all the way through, I think it's fanatstic that we are finally getting a big-budget movie in the 1st place, & so far I have really liked the casting & am HOPING that Wayans will actually be a welcome addition to the cast instead of how I usually see him in movies.

Ok? Really? Yeah, I'm burnt to a crisp by all the sunshine that this dork was blowing up this interviewers a$$!! This was all hollywood exec. B.S. meant to "win over" those (us) damn pesky fans that keep hurting their buzz! These guys have it made in the shade and they are still going to royally screw this up!!

First i would like to thank "Compulsive Collector" for correcting my information about the pit being located on staten island instead of nj, all the while proving my point that it's location was not ambiguous. Also I am so glad I can spell Jon Voight correctly now. anyway it is obvious that most of what is being said is to placate the fans and not necessarily the end all of what will happen with the movie. I read hundreds of fan boards about the tf movie and everyone thought it would be a total flop. We all know how that turned out, I still think it is a wait and see approach.

uh... I know dude. But the interviewer hinted at it and that was where I got excited. Those kind of movie inside-information trackers are normally in the ballpark.

From Wiki:

"The original Pit was secretly located underneath the Chaplain's Assistant School's motor pool within Fort Wadsworth in Staten Island, New York. Most of the characters in the school, with the exception of members of the G.I. Joe team, had no idea of the Pit's existence."

As far as big named actors go my guess is that most notable/reputable actors won't TOUCH this movie for anything. Playing in a movie being produced without the aid of professional writers to work out the kinks along the way and enhance the overall experience is a huge gambit. As much as I love Ray Parks and Marlon Wayans I have to say that this is about as a-list as we're going to get. It's frightening that Lorenzo even admits that PARAMOUNT wants to do more work on the movie. Wow; that's the biggest statement in the interview to me. He shouldn't have even answered that question. The interviewer claims to have omitted some questions anyways. My guess is that the script was given the greenlight because it was complete before the strike and is one of the movies that Paramount is producing that they're willing to brush under the rug if it completely sucks.

Also wasn't it Lorenzo that said that there would be no 'size-mass' shifting in the Transformers movie? I mean...I vaguely remember a giant CUBE "transforming" into a tiny handheld...cube. Maybe that was Don Murphy. I dunno; I have pretty much zero trust in producers. Maybe if we get lucky we can bitch and moan about Cobra Commander like we did with Megatron and they can 'allegedly' go back and make him look less like a vagina-monster.
