This movie is geared towards teenagers. The whole point is to get teenager boys hyped up about violence and hot chicks. I personally hated Shia and Megan in Transformers. If I hadn't completely disregarded their characters while watching the movie I would have vomitted. I think that if the movie was geared towards a younger audience it would be a lot cooler just like the cartoon was. That was the biggest problem with Transformers to me; it was geared towards a super-hormonal age group instead of a younger or older age group who may have been more interested in 'cool' characters. It's kind of like the direction that videogames have gone in over the years. If there's one thing that the 90s did it was raise the target audience age for the media.

But if you want to just argue I am sure we can find a more grown up thing to discuss and debate? If not lets leave it as a misunderstanding. Also Sorry to inform you I don't put much thought into your prior postings or any ones for that matter. So what side of the fence you play on is not important to me. I address post for post. And lastly, I will not get over myself............I love myself to much to ever do that...........LOL..........we all should! |

another thing that is being forgotten in this whole ridiculous respecting the role nonsense, is that Sienna Miller accepted the role for one reason -- Sienna Miller. the chick is what, 5'5", 100lbs? this is probably the one and only opportunity that she will ever get to not only be in a big action movie, but not have to play some frail damsel in distress and instead scratch, claw, fight, carry weapons that crumple Humvees with one shot, and essentially be larger than life.
regardless of whether she cares about G.I. Joe or the Baroness, I am sure she is excited to perform in such a role that she would never get to do otherwise, and I'm sure part of the appeal was because it didn't require a lot of acting (in comparison to roles) and instead aloud her to have fun. yes, we know, having fun is the equivalent to not caring about the material to some of you. before she got this role, the only thing I knew about Sienna Miller is that she used to play Jude Law's meat whistle. she is going to get exposure from this movie she couldn't have gotten anywhere else save for winning an academy award, so I am confident she isn't simply dismissive of the project as some of you would like to make her out to be just because her life isn't as wrapped up in whether the Baroness wipes her ass with her left or right hand as some of you. |

Outside the meat whistle being a vulgar and immature comment(LOL.....sorry Gunslinger, I could not resist) I do agree with you 100%.
Now in fairness to Sienna Miller, she has knocked it out of the ballpark on several of her performances, Alfie, Interview, Layer Cake and not to mention Factory Girl. But she has not achieved the real golden crown of Hollywood....not an Oscar, but ...... a huge mainstream hit. A hit that raises her asking price and stature in Tinseltown. So I agree I cannot believe that she would go into this with her eyes closed, ignorant and blase about GI Joe. The potential target audience is going to be the coveted male demographic of 18-35. And that demographic brings girlfriends and wives to the movies. And what do they want to see, guns, Tits, ass and Violence. They (the producers of GI Joe) are the looking for the Grand Theft auto crowd. The same crowd that will be clawing for the game this weekend. That is what they want first and foremost. If they get kids ~ great. families ~ why not. young woman ~ whatever, as long as they bring their boyfriends. But they cannot survive without that "GTA" crowd! we know this and Sienna Miller knows this. So she is playing it up. selling the movie on what will attract that young, hip crowd. |

Look, Nic Cage was all pumped about playing Johnny Blaze, took it very seriously, knew a ton about the character and continuity, and Ghost Rider sucked out loud. None of that crap makes any difference. Michael Gambon basically walks onto a set and just plays whatever roles he happens to have landed as himself, so the idea that all actors approach their craft in the same manner, or require the same amount of research and preparation, is preposterous. |

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! fictitious, but funny. the idea though is valid. it's why i think they'll have a hard time with the teenage audience...the cheese factor. best to stick to the hard core and kiddies in my opinion. doesn't mean some guns, t&a won't be appreciated. |

The hardcore and kiddies will not ensure a sequel. They must ~ MUST get the teenage crowd. There is no way around it.
