Dear Paramount Honchos,
The media blitz has already started, Adrianne Palicki will be on the Maxim cover next month and legions of GIJoe fans have been anxiously waiting for June 29th. Pushing the release date back for 3D is a mistake. Money has already been spent on advertising and promotion of this flick, strike while the iron is hot. Spending more money to release with 3D is a waste. It only increases the budget and the profit margin will likely be exactly the same. And messing with the release date only upsets the fan base. Personally I am not a big fan of 3D. I didn't bother to see The Avengers in 3D and it was awesome. I saw Clash of the Titans in 3D and it wasn't done well, I should've seen it in 2D. GIJoe is a franchise that can stand on its own, the cast is awesome and the previews look great, don't screw it up now. Thanks, Aaron |

Well, it's not April 1st...and it's not that crazy alternate world where Baroness is good and Steeler and Short Fuse are the heroes and it's not a side affect of something I was injected with before going overseas...sooo, what the fuck?!

they will ignore us but at least they will have to deal with a hundred or so emails letting them know that they are retards. That too me, is worth spending the 3 minutes to type them a complaint. Think of it as one less post on your post count... no big deal. |

Dear Paramount,
Thank you for pissing on my summer and killing any hope I had to reconnecting with this brand. Please Fornicate Yourselves, with the enclosed Mole Pod I've provided for you. Warm Regards, SoM |

I have long believed that if you are going to protest something, you need to tell the people you are protesting, why you are protesting them.
That said, based on the Press release from Hasbro, I hope everyone emailing Paramount, is also emailing Hasbro. Quote:
"It is increasingly evident that 3D resonates with movie-goers globally and together with Paramount, we made the decision to bring fans an even more immersive entertainment experience," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's President and CEO.

Dear Paramount,
I think your decision to move GI Joe Retaliation as far away from The Avengers, The Dark Knight, The Hobbit & Spider Man was a very smart one. GI Joe wouldn't have a chance in hell going up against those other titles. Opening early next year when there isn't any major competition is the smart way to go. And pissing off the whiny, bitchy, hateful, never happy with anything, GI Joe fans is just an added bonus. I needed a good laugh & this made my day! 2 thumbs waaaay up!

People, if you are going to write Paramount, name-calling and swearing isn't going to get us listened to. Instead, try using facts to back up your points. Be informative, not insulting. Tell them WHY this sucks instead of just saying "this sucks!".

There is only 1 real fact to look at: Avengers is destroying all other movies. And the Dark Knight Rises opens soon. Once people understand that, they'll agree that pushing GI Joe back was a really smart move.

Avengers would have been out for almost 2 months by the time of Retaliation's original June 29 release date and Dark Knight Returns would not be out for almost anothet month after. There was really nothing going against it and a lot of people were finding out and getting excited about the movie simply by word of mouth. That kind of excitement dwindles if it's stretched out too long. If you make people wait too long for something, they start to stop caring. March is not a good movie month and 3D is not a good excuse. Besides, Clash of the Titans was converted to 3D (granted, I hear they did a shit job) and it was pushed back about a month. Paramount saw G.I.Joe and Battleship as "to.y movies", Battleship sank, and they freaked out. This could also be bad. for G.I.Joe toys as a whole.
