I generally don't look a the movie conceptual stuff as I really don't care. I like the LJ on the left, though.

Too much ambient noise and I can't get my speakers any louder. What exactly does Mattel have to do with anything? Pretty sure Remus owns the rights to the name/character of Sgt. Slaughter, at least in part.

He refers to RoC as the "2nd movie" and said he was to make a cameo in the film but couldn't "because of conflicting toy companies"

Mattel holds the master toy license for WWE, don't they? That's likely it.

The story goes that Bill Gates got is foot in the game because IBM was napping. IBM just wanted the software exclusively for its products, however Gates wanted to make the software compatible with everything. I think that's how the story goes. Anway....

Anyway, could another company come along and basically be G.I. JOE circa '82-'87, a military themed toy base with realisitic and possible future weaponry. Less generic filecards that state their miltitary specialities, where they trained, what conflicts they were in, and realisitic uniforms, or have we as society passed that point?

haven't followed the news on this, but why did they delay this anyway?

Officially it's to do a 3D conversion.

Unofficially, Battleshit's sinking scared them to death and they're trying to save Joe from sucking balls, too. JMO.


I thought the trailers looked better than RoC.

Feb figure release. This could get ugly. I think retail orders are going to be down and some of the can't miss figures are going to be missed.

I'm thinking we will have to rely on the internet to get out plastic crap next year.

I saw one of the trailers a little bit ago and it actually looked good.. not sure if it was the international one or what.. but I was honestly a little excited.

I was excited too...until the delay not only included a 3D conversion, but more Channing Taint...of all the crap in RoC, I personally think he was the worst of it...the last thing I wanted to see in Retaliation was MORE Taint...I was really happy to hear he gets killed off early...


Now I'm back to being indifferent to the film...

Tatum was by far not the worst thing in RoC.. he certainly wasn't GOOD but I'd say he was average overall.

The powersuits were terrible, the COBRA stuff was pretty terrible.. the script was terrible.. generally it was all terrible, so it's hard for me to pick out individual stuff.

I'm cautiously optimistic on this.. 3D doesn't really bother me anymore, sometimes it's cool, sometimes it not, but I've come to accept it.

To be honest, there wasn't much that was being carried over from RoC I felt could work. As soon as it was confirmed that CC was Rex, I lost any enthusiasm I had for it. I kind of wished they wrote it in a way so that Rex was just a poser trying to use a mythical underworld character to catapult himself only to take a bullet from the real CC.

In reality, Tatum alone didn't bother me but the additions of Wayans, Nichols, and Quaid made it completely unbearable. The villains actually weren't that bad considering they were all mailing it in. Tatum as Duke doesn't bother me if they have a strong ensemble of Joe characters.

Yeah.. I wonder if this will end up being more of an 'origins' movie in the end, since hopefully it'll wipe away most of the RoC references.

Here's hoping it's fun to watch and has some cool references to the 80's Joes. At least the military stuff looks more realistic.

.. though there's still ninjas. God I hate ninjas.

I think I'm going to need to abuse a lot of substances before watching this movie. What would you guys suggest?
