"GI Joe" Dominates Weekend Box Office

sorry spooky haha

That cost $175 mill!!! What the hell did they spend all that money on? I think its pretty obvious that the majority of this film's budget went up Sommer's nose.

well looks like we got another horrible sequel on the way...

What lostwarrior said.

And as for Popcorn,

I love the childhood mentality, you all think that a movie that rakes in a fuckton of money MUST be good!

Children of men was a flop I think, and look how good that movie was. Watchmen (the directors cut at least) was a fantastic piece of science fiction/art/timeless story telling and a superhero deconstruction and that barely made back it's budget.

Besides, Joe was probably made on a bet, two producers 69ing each other's coke coated cocks while making a bet about who can make a shittier movie, Transformers 2 or G.I. JOE?

Good I approve bitches

I don't get it, when a movie doesn't remain faithful to the source material everyone complains. Now with G. I. Joe a very faithful adaptation, everyone seems to be giving it shit. Did any of you people ever watch the show? This is exactly what the show was, mindless entertainment with huge battles and awesome technology.

My friend keeps telling me how he wants the sequel to be even more faithful and open just like the animated movie movie, except in live action

Julie and Julia did pretty well playing in nearly half the number of theaters as GI Joe.

@spooky Well said man.. no bullshite...

Gimple, it's not about whether it's faithful or not (which it isn't considering cobra commanders mask looks like a melted darth vader voice changer).

If a movie insults your intelligence, spits in its face, and shoves a spiky dildo up it's ass, then that's reason to complain. People who like this movie simply do not have the intelligence to get insulted.

I can understand why people would like it just because it's so epically retarted on 4chan levels, but I can't see anyone with an average I.Q. and older than 14 liking this movie.

haven't seen it yet...if it's half as good as it's trailer i'll enjoy.

too bad for david twohy 'a perfect gataway' flopped,he is quite underrated...

@gimple EXACTLY!

spooky just cause someone like JOE doesn't mean shit. Don't fucking insult people for like a film, whatever it is dipshit.

@Gimple - That's what I've been trying to get across to people, but no one cares to think of it that way.


@Spooky - The thing about this movie is, had I gone in expecting to think during the 2 hours i was there, I would probably feel the same way you do. But, I knew it was going to be the way it was, so I just watched with the same mind as I did with the cartoon. However, I definitely agree with you on your points regarding Children of Men and Watchmen. Movies like those two are more Cinematic Experiences, movies like GI Joe and Transformers are just movies to mindlessly watch. Some people can't do it, and that's understandable, but it's not something to flip out about. I would rather there be a distinct difference between the two types of movies, than everyone trying to make some mind blowing masterpiece.

yes!,maybe there will be a sequel

"I don't get it, when a movie doesn't remain faithful to the source material everyone complains. Now with G. I. Joe a very faithful adaptation, everyone seems to be giving it shit. Did any of you people ever watch the show? This is exactly what the show was, mindless entertainment with huge battles and awesome technology."

People aren't complaining that the film isn't faithful to the cartoon, they're complinaing that is looks, sounds and acts like shit! Big fucking difference.

Terminator 3 was fairly faithful to the first two films, but it look and acted like shit. Being 'faithful' to the original material is not equal to great quality. You act like loyalty to the original material is equal or more important than cinematic watchability! It's not! Try to understand that little fact.

Anyway, fidelity to the original is for the obnoxious and insane FANBOYS. I really like GI JOE in general, but they could've made this film different and I wouldn't have given a shit, so long as they aimed for quality acting and story.

So stop making excuses for why YOU liked this Hirohima of a bomb. You can't make the rest of us see things your way any more then we can make you see things our way. You like GI JOE, you enjoyed it. Other people DID NOT. That's the reality.

And, as part of that reality, there is no objective way of avoiding the fact that this film was VERY poorly made and only hemmed superficially to the original 80s cartoon. It's an undeniable fact. Like it or not.

One more thing, if you want to watch a FAR better take on GI JOE with some violence, catch the anime-ish cartoon over at Youtube called 'GI JOE Resolute'. For a fucking cartoon, it's FAR BETTER than the live action film. Close to the orignal material, features great action and terrific voice acting. Steve Blum, aka Spike Spiegel, does Duke. And, best of all, it's FREE!

P.S. The ending sucks a little.

yeah,wat he said,this movie is simply a mindles,funny,inseley over the top action movie. That is obvisly made for people(guys) 10 to bout 30 who liked the toys and t.v. show,and like to see shit blown up.

"I would rather there be a distinct difference between the two types of movies"

There is a difference. One type is commonly referred to as 'good', the other type people would label 'garbage'.

I just don't understand why people would PAY to watch a bad film. Isn't your time more important?

"The thing about this movie is, had I gone in expecting to think during the 2 hours i was there, I would probably feel the same way you do. "

Sooo, you, *wait wait*, let me get this correct, you PAID ten dollars, and spent two hours of your precious and dwindling life to watch something you KNEW for a FACT would suck? Do you also stick your tongue into electrical sockets?

And I'm sorry but CoM sucked raw bleeding and distended ass. Farfetched science fiction that wasn't science fiction at all. More like boring propaganda. And I LOVE Clive Owen. People act like it's a modern Blade Runner. lol, yeah right. Good luck selling that one.

"than everyone trying to make some mind blowing masterpiece."

That's a fucking strawman and you know it. It's like they say "It wasn't supposed to be Citizen Kane!", as if there is no gradation at all between bottom feeding swill that panders to the young, bored male and gold gilded perfect motion picture epic. So stop saying that shit.

"mindles,funny,inseley over the top action movie."

No, you're confusing Shoot Em Up and GI JOE. One, the first, was actually GOOD.

I don't understand. Why the FUCK can you NOT understand that you can have both funny mindless action AND a good story?! I mean, it's like, in your mind, those two are somehow mutually fucking exclusive?

Let me ask one final question, and PLEASE answer hinestly:

Do you think it's wise to spend 200 million on a film that is, at best, no better than a nearly 30 year old cartoon aimed at selling toys to eight year old boys? Because that's EXACTLY what you seem to be saying here.

And I have most of the original Sunbow episodes on DVD, and I can tell you, IMO only, the cartoon is VASTLY superior to the wildly expensive live action film. (I'm not mentioning the DIC garbage)

This movie was like watching a sick dog have an abortion.

LMAO!

Well now that Mink has ripped your assholes open farther than goatse, I think you can all shut the fuck up.

"spooky just cause someone like JOE doesn't mean shit. Don't fucking insult people for like a film, whatever it is dipshit."

You just defeated your own point. And I don't insult people for liking a film, I tell them exactly what they are: Stupid.

I can't wait till your summer breaks are over so you can't interfere with real fucking discussions about real fucking movies.

Seriously, staying at home and teaching your kids to smoke would be a better choice than taking them to see this movie.

where is ranger anyway?

lol omg.

"where is ranger anyway?"

Last I heard, he was cleaning Lohan's period off some wino's jacket.

It was like spending two hours watching Stephen Sommers preform a back alley, coat hanger abortion on part of my childhood.

This shit's funny as hell. lol

And een funnier is that Sommers is no child of the eighties. The fucker grew up in the sixties and seventies, and claims that the old, OLD James Bond was more of influence for his GI JOE film than the cartoon.

I can't see the resemblance to either. Neither one had 100 million in CGI, and neither old Bond or Sunbow GI JOE sucked.

Personally, I think old Stephen did blow the whole time he filmed the movie.

"It was like spending two hours watching Stephen Sommers preform a back alley, coat hanger abortion on part of my childhood. "

Yeah, sure, whatever, like he could do even that right!

That red head and the angry lesbian in black should have just made out and rubbed nipples for two hours the whole time. Would have been a much more robust character piece I could really sink my teeth into.

@Mink - Your first comment is reminiscent of my film major friends. I don't completely understand their, or your, taste in movies, and I don't care to try because it's ultimately not that big a deal.

Secondly, yes I did go watch knowing what I was going to see, but in Gulfport, Mississippi (where I'm working right now) it's only $7.50 and it was paid for. hahaha. I went with a friend, it was team effort.

And you keep acting like they didn't want it to turn out the way it did. Using your terms, they purposely made garbage.

As for the anime, there's no doubt in my mind that it's better, because alot of anime, new and old, is way better than most hollywood shits out. It's just, people can't seem to view anime on the same maturity(?) level as live action movies, only because they're animated.

With talks of sterilization in the water, CoM is not that far fetched at all. Not even that science fiction. A lot of Clive Owen fans hated CoM because it wasn't his typical role of a fearless badass. Maybe that's your true reason. Did you like The International?

Sure, it was a strawman, so what? You say generalized things like that all the time, just on the opposite side of the spectrum. It's an easy way to get a point across, even though some use it far too much.

And as far as your question goes, you shouldn't even challenge money spending, especially in these times. Oprah can spend 200 mil in one show, and all the women in America feed off of it. That doesn't mean it's wise spending.

@Spooky - In discussing topics that are completely opinion based, no one's asshole can get ripped because someone bashes another's opinion.

And I mean, you've gotta discuss the fake movies too.

"because alot of anime, new and old, is way better than most hollywood shits out"

way better than most of what hollywood shits out*

"no one's asshole can get ripped because someone bashes another's opinion."

I've already explained this, not all opinions are equal. An educated opinion matters more than a blind fanboy rage.

This movie was fun, pure and simple. It's a spoof of itself and I was amazed at how ridiculous and campy the whole movie felt. This movie was a big budget campy fun movie.

@Spooky - I definitely agree, but not all opinions that don't measure up to your standards can immediately be deemed uneducated, or even fanboy rage. I'm not a fanboy of gi joe, but i did like it as a kid, and i can see that what they did with this movie is not a 'bomb' like some seem to think. It was totally purposed.

I'm not trying to sway people, I'm just discussing. I'm not down with personal stuff either. I will say, if you're down with Watchmen, you're down with me. haha

...In my opinion

@gimple - exactly. agreed.

"Using your terms, they purposely made garbage."

Oh, not purposely. No more purposely than when a blind drunk walks into a brick wall and breaks his nose.

"Sure, it was a strawman, so what? You say generalized things like that all the time,"

A strawman is NOT a generalization. Look it up. A generalization is just that. A abstraction into a simplistic catergorization for the use of analysis. See, that's why it's just called a gneralization. On the other hand, a strawman is an argument that misrepresents an opponents position, and in your case, wildly exaggerates.

"A lot of Clive Owen fans hated CoM because it wasn't his typical role of a fearless badass. Maybe that's your true reason. Did you like The International?"

I didn't like CoM for a number of reasons, not because Owens didn't play the badass. I liked 'The International'. I liked him in the Bourne Identity even though he got totally wasted with sickening ease. I disliked CoM because it was SLOW, LONG and BORING. It was a farfetched DRY tale of the future based on environmental fear mongering and politically correct notions of ethnicity. But mostly because it was grossly unengaging.

"With talks of sterilization in the water, CoM is not that far fetched at all. Not even that science fiction. "

I'm sorry, but just how would you, anyone, PERMANANTLY sterilize six BILLION people?? Do you understand the SCOPE of that situation? How much of a drug would some incredibly evil individuals, far more evil than the Third Reich, need to produce into all the potable water to sterilize the entire planet? Or did they blame the sterilization on climate change? See, I don't recall the explanation because I didn't care then as I don't care now.

It was nothing but farfetched fearmongering dressed up inside a lon-winded rant against the current state of the world. I could've saved my time and just watched an Inconventient Truth. At least THAT film had some science.

CoM is a film that appeals, I think more often than not, to people with no critical thinking, imagination or willingness to challenge accepted thought.

"And as far as your question goes, you shouldn't even challenge money spending, especially in these times. Oprah can spend 200 mil in one show, and all the women in America feed off of it. That doesn't mean it's wise spending."

Don't care about Oprah, that wasn't the question. I wasn't questioning whether spending a lot of money is this poor economical period is a wise decision.

I asked: is it a wise decision to spend 200 million on a film no better than a crusty assed cartoon. If they had spent 200 million on something WELL MADE and somewhat ORIGINAL, I wouldn't ask at all. Why pay 200 million to get a POOR IMITATION of something we already have? It's like if they decided to remake T2 with a 300 million dollar budget, starring Paulie Shore and Ed Asner, directed by Paul W. Anderson. Would you defend that too, Just because you like T2 and mindless action?

I'm not questioning you, or anyone's taste, I'm questioning your sanity.

Ooops, I misspelled permanently and some other words. The Doomsday Clock ticks closer to midnight. The end of Western Civilizations draws near...lol!

nah lol...the end of the western civilization still has yet to begin...right now we're still in prequel madness

Hahahaha an Inconventient Truth, that's what happens when you give a retard money. "Duh, the snow in africa is, like, melting :-)." No shit dumbass? It's SNOW... in AFRICA, what the hell did you think was going to happen?

I can't believe i am going to have to watch this movie.

I think they did it on purpose. That's just my view.

"A strawman is NOT a generalization."
Well I'm sorry, I meant to use that phrase more for a generalization, not a strawman. My bad.

Well, I don't think it was slow or boring, but I will agree with it being long. I enjoy longer movies anyways. I also thought it was very engaging, just in a subtler way. What post apocalyptic movie do you prefer?

Hahaha. I'm not saying it's going to happen in like, five days. Seriously? it's set in the "near future" for a reason. I'm sure you understand that, but would rather still argue against it. And an Inconvenient Truth? Pff. That has LESS science than CoM, and it was supposed to be NON fiction.

As far as accepted thought goes, I highly doubt people think it's more likely that machines are going to take over the world and bring humanity to the brink of extinction, than a possible sterilization of females. The sterilization doesn't even last in the film.

And to answer your revised question. The obvious answer is, because it sells. Not only are fanboys going to see it, multiple times, but they're going to take their kids to see it, multiple times, then buy the collectible toys, and the dvd. It's not that hard of an answer.

And if you only judge sanity by movie taste, well, I think we all know how stupid that is.

lol at you two guys

Well, I have to agree with what you said last, Takai, for whatever reason.

"And if you only judge sanity by movie taste, well, I think we all know how stupid that is."

lol, well my sanity litmus test (and I have to say I fail it often) is a many pronged thing of beauty. Yet, I WAS being (partly) facetious. Fanboys lend credence to the idea that some notion of (in)sanity can be partly determined by film zealotry.

"The polar ice caps shrink every summer" What the idiot forgot to tell his audience is that the grow at the same rate every winter.

Well, when your reality is intermingled with what you're fanboying(?), I think that's when it's permissible to judge sanity by film zealotry. Sad to say that the above happens alot. haha

Back in the 70s, as you likely know, scientists talked about global cooling, and how the planet was going to freeze. Ten years from now, they'll swing back the other way, claim the earth is cooling, and ask governments to spend trillions of dollars just to fill the atmosphere with CO^2.

Also, I've heard that CO^2 doesn't even constitute the majority of the greenhouse gases supposedly warming the planet. I've also heard that the EPA did a study and found animal flatulence was a major contributor to CO^2. See, eating a hamburger IS environmentally friendly.

Which leads me to ask: if we slowly reduce, not eliminate, manmade CO^2, how ae we EVER going to 'fix' ANYTHING? And I hear the warming isn't likely to produce major sea-level rises within at least a millennium.

Everyone should read The Chilling Stars, a firly scientific book about global warming that claims the movement of earth and the solr asystem, through the Milky Way, has a large impact on climate change.

Ok, so I'm like SO scared now! Like WOW, it's the end of the world man!

according to the great warming swindle, 98% of greenhouse gases come from the ocean. The cows in California create more pollution every single day than the cars in California do. And Weather patterns change every 10 - 15 years. BTW, the first time that global warming was ever mentioned was in France when the Effel Tower was built. The french thought that the structure was too high and that it caused a warmer summer than normal.

Whoa! Reality alert! haha

I don't really concern myself with global warming. If the world and the people living on/running it continue on the course they can't seem to get off of, we're going to destroy ourselves before the stars have the chance.

As far as what scientists have to say about what's good for you, what the F*CK dudes?! Gumby and MJ told me that milk was GOOD for me, and now, you kill the Toys R Us kid inside me.

Then again leave it to the french to build the worlds biggest phallic symbol and then claim it causes global warming

I am sorry we got away from the debate on hand. So let's go back to GI-Joke of a Movie. It sucks. But i think it could be used for aggressive Interrogation techniques. There isn't a terrorist alive that can sit though that movie three times without caving in.

I don't know, I think Demonicus would be the better choice for interrogation.

"Well, when your reality is intermingled with what you're fanboying(?), I think that's when it's permissible to judge sanity by film zealotry. Sad to say that the above happens alot. haha"

I just see things the way they are. Objectively, as best I can. A bad movie is a bad movie, and I don't let my opinion get colored by my prejudices. I LOVE action movies, but I won't let my love dictate what I think of movies like GI JOE. A film is garbage if I see that it's garbage. I'm pretty sure I don't have a 'fanboy' bone in my body. I regularly seek to destroy all my heroes and anything I admire. This is the only path to the truth.

And, you know, for example I grew up on Transformers. I loved them. I have about a thousand (or more)of them in storage. But you know, my love of those toys and my fond nostalgia doesn't allow me to remotely like Transformers, the Bay films. They're trash, juvenile junk that isn't even as remotely endearing as the original cartoon. And yes, I know the G1 show is fairly cheesy and ripped full of story holes and preposterous events and concepts.

Take the Transporter films. I KNOW they're HORRIBLE, and yet I admit they have sort of appeal. I would NEVER have paid to see them in theaters. What a waste of cash. Bad acting on everyone's part save Statham, and poor CGI. Even at their worst, though, they're better than GI JOE, and even still, I won't defend them with sealotry from detractors as you guys have done with GI JOE.

In other words, I admit to liking some low quality junk for whatever reason. Yet, YET, and here's the big difference, if someone wanted to trash them I wouldn't and won't give a shit. I'll join right in. No zealotry there.

One final thing: the only time I've EVER felt or displayed fanaticism for a film is when that film is woefully and unfairly misrepresented. If it's trashed by a critic that simply misunderstood the premise or intention of the film's plot. In other words, if they failed to understand the film altogether. People might hate a film, say like Primer, only because they get angry they can't understand what the fuck is going on.

With Sommers' GI JOE, there is NOTHING to misunderstand. I have no fanaticism for JOE even though I love the ideas therein the original toys and cartoon. But I can see how a VASTLY better film could've been made, especially with all that money, and it angers me. There's so MUCH they could've done, and with a higher quality, that they just SQUANDERED the opportunity to make trash, just to make cash. Trash for cash. Like Obama's clunker trade-in program. Unlike with Transporter, for example, GI JOE has a rich history, fairly deep story and huge universe of characters, places and veicles, and they just FUCKED all of that over to make a sloppy quick cash film that appeals, IMO, to people that either don't care about JOE, or never saw what I saw in the original cartoon, comic or toys.

The difference is between people that remember the genuine magic of childhood, and simpler people that just enjoy 'lots of action'.

@FBO: LOL!

I heard there was a high occurrence of closeted zoophilic behavior among directors of failed summer blockbusters this year.

My girlfriend told me that if you go into your bathroom and turn out the lights and then stare into the mirror and whisper "GI JOE" three times some bitch named mary will appear and slit your wrists

I didn't mean YOU lived the life I explained, I was just saying. But thank you for elaborating so extensively. I'll keep what you said in mind when I'm reading your next thrashing.

If anything, here's to hoping that someone mind controls Sommers and makes the sequel a very redeeming one for you. Starring Clive Owen as all the characters. :P

Ranger told me that they were going to cast Lindsey Lohan for the movie but decided to go with someone with a little less talent. And that's how Channing got the role.

If you watch GI JOE, seven days later you start wearing really gay costumes, flashback constantly to what you ate for breakfast last week, drive cars that look like Playskool toys, and utter incoherent babble about some idiot in a steel oxygen mask.

"Ranger told me that they were going to cast Lindsey Lohan for the movie but decided to go with someone with a little less talent. And that's how Channing got the role."

Huh, well I heard they decided to use Tatum because he has a smaller dick.

Did you know that in 34 states it's illegal to operate heavy machinery up to eight hours after watching GI JOE?

Yeah I heard that about tatum too. Except the way I heard it was that Sommers had tatum wash the inside of car door keyhole for the audition for the movie.

lol.

Well, I hear that the 2010 tax forms will require you to disclose whether you ever watched GI JOE. If you mark yes, you get no refund. I guess they figure if you're that stupid to pay to see GI JOE, you don't deserve a refund.

I heard that if you put your ticket stubs for GI JOE, Terminator Salvation and Transformers 2 on your dash board that you'll be allowed to park in handicapped parking

I thoought Bay asked him to do that. I thought the deal was, find the keyhole first and then wash it, and you get to appear in Transformers. Fail to find the keyhole and you get to 'star' in...GI JOE. With Stephen Sommers.

Good one!

I almost saw the movie but i decided to pay some guy $20 to kick me in the gonads. I figured it's the same effect but cost less and getting kicked in the balls does take two hours.

It's a wonder, I mean, with all the stupid people going to see these films, it's a mystery why they don't have exit chutes instead of exit doors. I mean, after you watch one of these films, it's a toss up whether you have the mental ability to work a door handle.

*doesn't*

Lucky bastard, I had to pay 30! And it wasn't a kick in the nuts, he shot me out of a potato gun into the dumpster of an HIV clinic.

Shit even a retarded dinosaur that's been died for billions of years figured that one out. Speaking of ~being gone for billions of years~, a group of doctors at Cedars-Sinai just announced that the scientific phrase for "Coma" was changed to "GI JOE"

Did you hear the news? Obama claims the recession is getting worse due to manpower shortages. Millions of people are returning to work missing dozens of IQ points! They can no longer add, operate heavy machinery or use a q-tip responsibly.

Scientists claim that this happens about once every two months during the summer, but they have only recently noticed the pattern. They claim the loss of mental ability coincides with any time Michal Bay, Stephen Sommers or McG release a film, but admit the link maybe merely coincidental.

Did you know that if Lindsey Lohan and Uwe Boll had a baby that baby would be smarter than GI JOE. Well that's it for me tonight. Got to wake up in the morning. It was fun Mink.

Same here dude. lol.

Whats the difference between a baby and a grandmother?

Before I finish the joke. I saw this movie earlier,and I have got to say that I have lost all hope in humanity. After subjecting myself to this bloody wincing hemroid of a movie, I think im going to cheat on my wife with her mom. I need to find a way to let the rage out. And whoever argues that this shitfest deserves merrit is banned from movies....Oh and its one does'nt die when you fuck it in the ass.

@Minkwoski I have to disagree with you on something. In reference to G.I. Joe: Resolute, you said this:

"...features great action and terrific voice acting."

Um...no, it really doesn't. Four people did all the voices and it's noticeable. They cut corners on what could have otherwise been superb and, as a result, I think they lost out on a series because of it. I hope I'm wrong and they are developing an ongoing series as we speak but I've heard nothing.

Yeah, and only a handful of people do the voices for the Simpsons. How many people does Hank Azaria voice again? Fifty? So what? I didn't really notice. I didn't care. You can't expect the voice acting diversity of the Simpsons from free webisodes, or from Cartoon Network.

Steve Blum is a terrific voice actor and has more work than anyone I can name. He's amazing IMO, and I don't think he does a poor job. Ever.

Personally, save Destro, who came off sounding like Sean Connery (is that a BAD thing?) I thought and still think they did a good job on the voices. Vastly better than much of the other animated shit out there. And there was none of that nonsense idalogue fromt he live action movie either.

Better story, better script better everything. From a cheap cartoon!

Sure, they cut costs. Free webisodes. Amazing they got a guy like Blum at all. Anyway, I liked it. It was well animated, intense and its storyline is very much reminiscent of the SunBow series.

I never claimed it was perfect, but you've got to admit it was full of action, old school JOE and a far cry from something like the live action film that cost nearly 200 million. For webisodes, to hear Blum speak through Duke's mouth, I was fairly pleased.

Resolute is GI JOE. Not perfect mind you, but DEFINTELY more Joe than GI JOE RoC.

"I hope I'm wrong and they are developing an ongoing series as we speak but I've heard nothing."

AKAIK, they are NOT. They killed off a few important characters. Storm Shadow is one, and his conflict with Snake Eyes is very important to JOE fans. Zartan, another fan favorite is another.

BTW, this show has a 8.2 on IMDb. Not to appeal to authority, but that's retty good for a web-first cartoon, huh? And RoC has a 6.2, which is rather bad for a film just starting in theaters.

And I know you don't seem to have the opinion Resolute sucks, but you seem to far more critical than you should be, considering the shows debut format (web), it's smaller audience and it's rather weak budget. What did you expect, dude? Disney quality voice acting? On a shoestring budget? Come on!

man i know this is a god awful movie, my sisters boyfriend wanted to see it tonight, and i asked him did you go see transformers 2? and he said yea and i said exactly.

There you go again spooky assuming shit. oh yeah calling someone stupid is insulting them dumbass. Also I thought the movie was complete shit, i just don't like people on here telling everyone they are idiots for liking a film. Everybody is intitled to their opinion on whether they like a film or not. I think it is wrong of you or anybody on here to judge individuals for what films they like.

I got some more so here we go; The Catholic Church released a statement that says if you saw this movie you need to confess to the Pope himself in order to achive forgiveness; That little boy that saw Transformers 2 and then drank a cup of gasoline to be more like the robots just saw this movie a drank a mug of steaming diarrhea to be more like GI JOE; I just got of the phone with Denis Quaid and I asked him why he did this movie and he said he was preparing for his upcoming role as a retard/lead in an Al Gore biopic; as it turns out they've been planing on donig GI JOE since 2005, originally they wanted Ang Lee to direct it but he decided to do "something less gay", So he made Brokeback Mountain.

"oh yeah calling someone stupid is insulting them dumbass."

Not if it's true.

For instance, if I call you a tool, I won't be insulting you, it'd just be plain fact.

spooky plz shut the fuck up, you said you worked in a kil room or w/e so that means your obviously not smart or you'd have a better job...yes im going to college but ill still be on these boards to hear your dumbass rants, and bashing people over the internet isnt really being smart considering the fact it makes you look like a pussy(even tho im doing as i type), so stfu and i hope you dont see inglorious basterds because that looks like a fun film

**mail not kil

Spooky and MInk who the fuck are u guys or girls think you are. I mean its kool you have your opinions and honestly I can completely agree with u. But where the fuck to get off being fucking rude. Mink man your just an ass hole. Im sorry but you are.. Yeah your quick witted but WoW, and spooky, what the fuck is your problem, how old are u again, 15 well little girl, dont get pissy cuz daddy cant treat youl like the little girl you always wanted to be. Its kool if you admit it perhaps life will be easier for you. And yeah I would even see this for free, I would be wasting my life for two hours, but thats just me. If others like it, right one good for them.. but dont berate them or anything jesus fucking christ. You act like you both are all knowing and shit.. fuck off and die or just be fucking cool you two...


oh and btw, this just came in. L LOHAN has just created a new disease. it happened only when all of your diseases mutated together.. She is currently working on obtaining the rights for it... but she already has the distrubtion taken care of...

Spooky, you must HATE B-movies and anything from the 1980s. It must be really depressing to only enjoy about 2% of the films you watch.

^^^^ if you cant tell by know, spooky is way too busy these days either jerking off to the watchman or gargling MINKS balls....

This just in; Lindsey Lohan's new disease will be called: GI JOE

@FBO - Bahahaha. GI Genius

"jerking off to the watchman or gargling MINKS balls...."

The "Watchman". LOL!

Minks balls are better (and waaaaaay bigger) than your undeveloped ones.

"Spooky, you must HATE B-movies and anything from the 1980s. It must be really depressing to only enjoy about 2% of the films you watch."
Actually, I'm a HUGE fan of the 80's, even though I wasn't born during that time. And I enjoy a lot of films, as long as they're good films. You are too young (or unintelligent, maybe both) to understand how much money paying for the movies every week can run you, when your parents stop giving you money to go to the movies with your loud, obnoxious little shits of friends that kick the back of my seat and be loud, then you can understand why the price of a ticket must equally be met by story, plot, performance, and action. And I mean ORIGINAL action. Not ripping off Star Wars and Iron Man.

Lostwarrior, using personal insults and completely avoiding the points me and Mink made just shows that you know that this movie is shit, and that the only way you can get back at us is with writing demeaning things about us.

"spooky plz shut the fuck up, you said you worked in a kil room or w/e so that means your obviously not smart or you'd have a better job..."

Which just shows how young you actually are. Mail room jobs is my support in between attending University, dipshit. I split rent with 5 other people in a fairly large loft in Toronto.

"and bashing people over the internet isnt really being smart considering the fact it makes you look like a pussy"
All my "Bashing" has been done as a comeback to people who have already talked badly about me, tool.

"so stfu and i hope you dont see inglorious basterds because that looks like a fun film"

And on a final note, You aren't old enough (physically and mentally) to see that movie. Quentin Tarantino movies kick your ass.

spooky, u truly are fucked in the head, if you werent born in the 80s then we are relatively the same age dumbass, and as for not seeing the movie, unless u have to be 18 to see rated r movies then i cant see it but as i am 17 and it requires you to be 17 to see the movie, then i can see it

and on a final note:
"Minks balls are better (and waaaaaay bigger) than your undeveloped ones"

now you not only retarded(prolly going to a deaf school maybe) but you are gay unless your a women ofcourse which makes my 1st suggestion correct, your a pussy or have one, because i hope that was a joke and if it was one, it wasnt funny...and as you can see many people here dont like you so mayby your the one saying stupid shit...and if you do have "friends" they're obviously not actually your friends because i dont see anyone defending your ass

"if you werent born in the 80s then we are relatively the same age dumbass,"

Not mentally. Nor physically. With that spelling, it's probably both.

"as i am 17"

And Lohan isn't a whore.

"now you not only retarded(prolly going to a deaf school maybe)"

Calling deaf kids retards? Nice... Really shows your age there.

"but you are gay unless your a women ofcourse which makes my 1st suggestion correct"

Lol, no. It means I am completely content with my sexual identity and could give less a fuck if a middle schooler like you thinks I'm a homosexual because I made an ambiguous reference to Mink's manliness (and manhood).

"your a pussy or have one"

That's RIGHT! All gays are pussies! Even the ones who body build and knock the shit out of ignorant fucks like you!

"and as you can see many people here dont like you"

Kids*, Many KIDS, not people. And I don't really like kids that much either.

"so mayby your the one saying stupid shit"

Look at your above comments, I can spell, and make reasonable arguments. All you can do is call me a pussy or a fag.

"and if you do have "friends" they're obviously not actually your friends because i dont see anyone defending your ass"

Who cares? This article is pretty fucking old. I'm sure if Mink gave half a shit to come over here and see what was going on, he would tear your ass to shreds, verbally speaking (and is there any other way of speaking, ha). And I don't see any one defending your ass either, chump.

Guess what you'll be doing when you drop out of grade 9? Sucking balls for booze money. That'll be ironic.

alright mister body builder...show me a pic of u then lifting some weights or something...if you do ill sit down and take my place, and what person who is 17 is still in middle school, i just graduated high school and going to college, and im 99% sure i am more physically fit than you are

"alright mister body builder...show me a pic of u then lifting some weights or something"

Did I say I was a bodybuilder? No.

Learn to read, as well as write, asshole.
I'm one husky son of a fuck.

"and what person who is 17 is still in middle school"

If you are actually 17, then you would be. But you aren't 17, which is why I said you're in middle school.

"i just graduated high school and going to college"

I can retype that the way I read it: "MAYBE IF I SEY IMMA GOIN TO COLLEDGE HELL BELIEVE MEH".

"and im 99% sure i am more physically fit than you are"

You know what, I'm pretty sure you just might be too, only problem is, is THAT I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR BODY.

OMG. It's just lostwarrior. He's manic-depression, bipolar, insane whatever. I kinda tune him out like when PBS does RiverDance. Click! He goes from liking somebody to hating them. he thinks I'm rude, and I think he's overly pussified. He leaves his dick in the jar with his teeth I guess.

"Who cares? This article is pretty fucking old. I'm sure if Mink gave half a shit to come over here and see what was going on, he would tear your ass to shreds, verbally speaking (and is there any other way of speaking, ha). And I don't see any one defending your ass either, chump."

I tell you what, Spooky. Save yourself for the fresh threads where you can get in your digs early and often. These sort of threads are dead ended. There's not enough players. You get guys like lostwarrior who's just a little cranky after pulling himself from the gutter and shaking off those sweat-stained cum wrappers. I wouldn't worry about it.

The best thing is the newbies that drop by. You can thrash them without feeling the least bit bad. I kind have a little respect for lostwarrior. Him and I aren't friends or even friendly, but once every blue moon, we see I to I. Not now, though.

"spooky, u truly are fucked in the head, if you werent born in the 80s then we are relatively the same age dumbass"

If he was born in 1989, and you in 1980, the two of you could be 9 years apart. That's a pretty big difference. Like between you and your eleven year old girlfriend.

"now you not only retarded(prolly going to a deaf school maybe)"

No, if he was deaf, he'd go to a school for the deaf, if he was retarded he'd come by your house to get homework assignments.

'and as you can see many people here dont like you so mayby your the one saying stupid shit"

Buddy, there's ALWAYS going to be people that hate you. You will ALWAYS have enemies. So what? Best to decide who hates you and who doesn't, rather than leaving it up to chance. And, who the fuck cares who hates who? Is that a threat? Am I or anyone else going to cry because someone hates me? I'm good enough company for myself, so though I can't speak for Spooky, I can say, for me, I don't give a shit. I'm well off by myself when I am alone.

ya cause your too much of a bitch to type behind a screen and say shit like "oh he prolly is 17 but ima say he not 17 so i can think im cool" wow, grow up...you keep saying im not this and that when ive been completely honest...no reason to hide anything...and who gives a fuck how i write on here, am i trying to impress someone? am i getting a grade for this? no, so im going to keep writing like this because you and many others can obviously read this so nothing is wrong

Call his bluff. Post a picture of some muscle bound weight lifter. Like he can prove it's not you over the internet.

No, if he was deaf, he'd go to a school for the deaf, if he was retarded he'd come by your house to get homework assignments.

not really funny i said he either or

If he was born in 1989, and you in 1980, the two of you could be 9 years apart. That's a pretty big difference. Like between you and your eleven year old girlfriend.

omg yall are dumb...why do people insist that cause someone thrashing another person they have an 11 year old g/f, thats just being immature and shit, tho i wont lie, im being immature myself but the difference between us is that i can admit it

"ya cause your too much of a bitch to type behind a screen and say shit like"

And what are you doing that is so different LMAO!

"you keep saying im not this and that when ive been completely honest"

Even if you are 17, you are, mentally, a toddler.

And you probably define graduating what others would deem as "Dropping out"

"and who gives a fuck how i write on here, am i trying to impress someone?"

Am I? No. I just have an I.Q. higher than a can of WD-40.

"am i getting a grade for this?"

That's probably the attitude you have in school, which is why you probably dropped your ass out of high school.

"no, so im going to keep writing like this because you and many others can obviously read this so nothing is wrong"

Write exactly like that on your resume and see how many job offers you get.

And for Mink:
"so though I can't speak for Spooky, I can say, for me, I don't give a shit. I'm well off by myself when I am alone."

Same here, bro. Although it's fun to have room mates, sometimes it's fun to just be by yourself, make a cup of tea while watching a favourite movie.

^^either that if you want(maybe it'll help your soul inside) or get a pic with you saying on a paper like "fuck you, popcorn" or something...thatd be great

"why do people insist that cause someone thrashing another person they have an 11 year old g/f"

I'm gonna retype it and translate it from Retardese to English: "Why do people insist upon thrashing someone because they have an 11 year old girlfriend?"

Because, in most cases, it's called pedophilia, in yours? You'd both be the same age.

Well, good for you Popcorn. I'm glad you admit you're immature. So am I. It's called having fun. Do you know what 'mature' people do for fun? They watch Oprah. I'm not ready to die just yet.

And you said, correct me if I'm wrong:

now you not only retarded(prolly going to a deaf school maybe)

Now, you said Spooky is not only 'retarded' but also gay, right? Why would you tack on a remark about going to a school for the deaf right after a comment about being retarded? See, in your illiterate style, your conjoining the two. Get it? And what the hell does being deaf have to do with someone being retarded, gay, stupid or anything for that matter?? areyou saying that just because someone is hard of hearing they're inferior mentally and sexually?

Either don't confuse the inability to hear with anything else, or LEARN TO FUCKING TYPE clearly.

Can you hear me now?

"^^either that if you want(maybe it'll help your soul inside) or get a pic with you saying on a paper like "fuck you, popcorn" or something...thatd be great"

The fuck, just so you can sexually please yourself to it? No.

...Looks like he shut up?

Or maybe it's bedtime?

Or maybe he's trying to spell out a full sentance like most people do...?

my computer is messing up actually lol

ok ill type like you if you want:

See, your the one who actually experienced all the things that you said and are just basing your insults or your own past experiences. Sure, you can think that I dropped out of school, but in the end, I actually am attended a 4-year state university. Also, for being mentally a toddler, I believe you are completely incorrect and for having a I.Q. of a WD-40 can, maybe you do, or maybe you don't, I'm not sure, but I do know that I don't because I took AP classes in my high school. You could've too, I wouldn't know. Or you can say that you have, but when again I wouldn't know if your telling the truth or lying.

So, I say we start over. Hi, my name is Mark, I'm 17 and I'm going to Florida Atlantic University. You seemed to not like GI Joe, but i actually enjoyed it. I thought it was fun and creative. The acting was quite bad but the action sequences were enjoyable.

Maybe we can become friends?

In all honest GI JOkE isn't even on my Worst Top Five List. Watchman is though. Oh my god that movie wouldn't end. Talk about the never ending story. Munich and The Good Shepherd are on that list too. Along with D&D and the 1/16 of Bloodryne that I saw.

I actually enjoyed Watchmen. It didn't seem "that" long because I was somewhat "into" it. The only problem I had with the movie was that Dr. Manhatten(sp?) was the only superhero, kind of. It seemed everyone else had only super-strength. Maybe the comic was different, I wouldn't know because I never read it.

Everyone was normal, except for Dr. M.

And you thinking the others had super strength is the only problem I have with Watchmen.

The marketing team acted as if this was an action movie, which it completely isn't. I will recut the movie one day with cut down fight scenes and make it what a watchmen movie was supposed to be.

Realistic!

Or just fucking direct a 12 part hbo mini series.

Why did the last guy, the "Smartest Man In The World" seem so much stronger and better than the other heroes?

Well being the smartest man in the world means he can probably control his muscle mass better than most people could.

To be the smartest man in the world means that you have to be doing some sort of buddist type of stuff.

"In all honest GI JOkE isn't even on my Worst Top Five List. Watchman is though. Oh my god that movie wouldn't end. Talk about the never ending story. Munich and The Good Shepherd are on that list too. Along with D&D and the 1/16 of Bloodryne that I saw."

Exactly. I've laid off Watchmen because of the rabid fanboys. The initial scene was good, but what can you expect from a 12 part politically contrived comic book?

And Good Shepherd? That's one movie I watched and remember NOTHING about. Munich was like watching someone read a book. A book you hate.

My problem with it was the moral of the story seems to be it's ok to kill half the people on earth as long as the other half is saved. I think my whole issue with the project is that I think the media ( i am talking AP, UPI, BBC, ect, ect) should be honest and unbiased but they obviously aren't. So with the movie ending in a way that seems like it's ok to lie to the masses because people are to dumb to handle the truth... well that just seems too elitist for me to handle.

"I've laid off Watchmen because of the rabid fanboys. The initial scene was good, but what can you expect from a 12 part politically contrived comic book?"

Yes. Fans usually do ruin a movie for me, which is why I avoid IMDB boards when looking up info about T2 or Aliens.

This comic book is unfilmable, but snyder did do a valiant effort.

at the end of the day, i'd still read the comic before the directors cut.

Okay first off, this is my first time posting.Second I've been coming here for awhile and reading the comments, people like Ranger, Lostwarrior and Minkowski...........rock!!!Had to get that out of the way.

So now to G.I. Joe, I happened to like the movie.Not for the weak story, half ass acting by most of the cast or even PS2 like CGI.But for the fact that it was a "fun" movie.Meaning that it was good to watch because all it was is explosions and fights with goofy vehicles picked right from the cartoon.

But the fact of the matter is that the CGI was horrible.Hell the entire Paris chase scene was nothing but CGI, most of that could have been done with real vehicles and real actors.The only saving grace for this film is the fact that Ray park played Snake Eyes and that asian guy played Storm Shadow.Hell they were the only ones cast right for the film.

Sienna Miller, for as hot as she is, played a horrible Baraoness.Where was her accent and when in the hell did she ever have a relationship with Duke.Speaking of Duke, I could have sworn that he was quite older, blond and a hell of a lot tougher.

If a sequel is made for this...please new cast save for Ray Park.Much better director and please bring somewhat of a story.Also when you do CGI please keep it to a minumum.

Plus for all those saying that the movie sucks...hey it's true.I only liked it for the somewhat good action and Ray Park as Snake Eyes.Plus this is a movie based off an 80's cartoon...hell most of the cartoons in the 80's were just written bad or just plain weird.

But at least they didn't cost that much to make, so that's forgivable.

The problem is that, if you're spending 175 million, then that's a pretty big fucking problem.

I'm going to go with the Watchmen discussion a little...

@FBO - The thing is, is that in the comic, the message had nothing to do about it being ok to kill one million to save six, that was just Ozymadius' (sp?) view. In the comic it was more like, "Well, shit. The bad guy won."

And as Spooky said, this should NOT have been marketed like an action movie, because it is nowhere near that. Half of the action scenes aren't even IN the book.

and @ Popcorn - Ozzy was stronger because they couldn't make the ending the same as the comic. In the comic, he kind of hands them their ass, but it's not buy freaking launching them across the room, it's just little intelligent things. Hence the smartest man in the world.

People who say it's boring either aren't paying attention or just don't care to think for long periods of time. Every part of the Watchmen film contributed to the story.

Yeah, it was unfilmable, but Snyder did the best job anyone could, and the Ultimate Cut that's supposed to come out in the fall will be hella good.

Minkowski have you tried Mahalo.com? your statements are both specific and factual I find Mahalo a great outlet.
