Ill give a recap in the morning...

[tile_mcgillus]

WOW...thanks for clarifying...*shifty eyes*

[Gerrorism!]

Meh, I didnt read anything I would say is 'bad news' in there... to tell the truth for me it will probably be visual style that makes it or breaks it for me. When I start seing costumes is when I'll start to feel good or get he heebie-jeebies. I just dont want to see EVERYONE in tight leather jumpsuits.

Well, at least they won't be messing with Destro's racial heritage (?).




I'm optimistic about the film but I trust Goldner more than I trust Di Bonaventura. I just can't get the whole Action Man/Cool Dude deal outta my head :p

Lorenzo di Bonaventura is an ass.

As in the comic book, you don't know where the location of the Pit is.

Fort Wadsworth. Staten Island. What comic has he been reading?

I agree…I want to be able to recognize the Joes/Cobras from comics, toons, and figures...
but for some reason, I'm thinking they will change them (i.e. black Ripcord) for the sole purpose of being able to make new figures to make money on, because we all know, that they know, that that is where the money is at...

....although, at this point in time, I'm not 100% sure I believe that, as we are all* begging Hasbro to put more figs in the stores

*disclaimer - this means the people who want more, if this does not apply to you, please do not ask me who "all" is, as honestly, it would be a dumb a$$ question

I smell bullsh*t. Typical oily executive type thinks he can mislead, misrepresent and nuance us into believing he isn't ruining what could be a great and successful movie.

I'm not buying what he's selling.

[SHIPWRECK"N"POLLY]

I like what he has to say, but obviously he has not read any of the comic books if he thinks the location of the pit is ambiguous. It first was located beneath the chaplains assistants quarters in nj, then later it was located in arizona or utah in the desert, read the comics it is all in there, that being said i am beginning to wonder if there will be any A LIST actors in this or just all supporting characters that play off each other. I mean at least transformers had john voit in it.

ya know, I personally don't give a crap what the story is... I mean, think back to all the different stories and plot lines over the whole history of Joe...literally hundreds of crazy (most of the time unrealistic, convenient) stories…I want the history to somewhat be the same, but a new story is a definite...but like I said, I hope I hope I hope these guys very much resemble the characters we know and love

That's pretty much how I feel too. I just want them to stay somewhat true to the characters themselves. The story needs to be modernized.
