SO, if parents won't take their kids to see the movie, then the only toy sales you'll have will be from collectors. Thus making that innocent little comment a huge factor. I guess they just figure that there are far too few parents out there that are actually paying attention to really care.
Yeah, misogynistic hate speech is a great way to get your point across. And some people wonder where stereotypes about fandom originate. |

I was out a club in Hollywood last night, and I heard a guy a few seats down snickering about how he was a grip on the G.I. Joe movie and that the characters were silly, especially the "black dressed karate man with a strange knights visor who doesn't talk."
WTF!?! how can they continue to hire people for this movie who have no respect for the material. he isn't a karate man, he is a ninja! and it isn't that he doesn't talk, he is mute! GOOODDD! Hollywood is so stupid and destroying G.I. Joe with people who know nothing about it! this movie is going to suck! why couldn't they hire grips who know and respect it's history! |

If you were a cameraman on some Sandra Bullock romantic comedy, would you give a crap about the plot? |

Geez...I'll admit GI Joe isn't Shakespeare, but...jeez. I act in Direct-To-Video Indie action flicks, and I don't approach what I do with that attitude.
It's not enough to ruin the flick...yet, but hearing that really is a kick in the pants. If acted properly, The Baroness could earn a spot as one of moviedom's greatest femme fatales. She's a bad ass character. I REALLY worry about the accent. I really hope she doesn't come off sounding like Natasha (of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame). My personal casting choice for her has always been Famke Janssen... |

The quote sounds like she is having a lot of fun with this film. No one casted in this are doing it for the oscars. They are having fun, plain and simple.
If I make custom figures, am i stressing myself out to the point of pulling a Ledger? No, I'm having a lot of fun. If I have fun at that, why can't an actor have a lot of fun with their role, a gun toting hottie with some Jackie-O's on. |

Dude, a grip is basically a cameraman or lighting guy, right? What do they care about the material for a film they're working on? They only care about if the lighting is good, if the camera is white balanced properly or if the framing is correct for the shot.
If you were a cameraman on some Sandra Bullock romantic comedy, would you give a crap about the plot? Could you see them handing out questionaires down to the caterers about how they like the material? Question 36: Do you find Sandra Bullock's character pretending to be the fiance of a comatose man who she never met to be realistic or silly? |

Maybe you should? No offense to you or your Direct to Video career, but she is a well known actress in a 170-Million dollar projected film. I think whatever she is doing ~ is working quite well for her! I don't see how you approach indie films is relevant to her very successful movie career. She really sounds like she is having fun. Most of the cast at this point have said something "Offensive" to us. Who cares, get over it! Harrison Ford for years has down played how "Silly" Star Wars was, is. William Shatner the same thing for Star Trek. The simple truth is this ~ it is a movie based partially on a fifty year old toy line, with a pinch of the comics, cartoons and 80's toys all thrown into the mix. This is not Schindler's List! |
