GI Joe live action movie

This sounds pretty interesting. I'm glad they're using characters from the GI Joe I remember from the '80's. That along with Voltron and Thundercats was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. I'm curious to see who'll be in it, hopefully not too many big names.
 
I haven't seen the Scooby-Doo movie so I'll just have to take your word that it was terrible. I'm hoping that the movie will be in the same fashion that Tim Burton's Batman was as well as the X-Men movies and Spiderman. I seriously hope it doesn't turn out to be a Batman and Robin.
 
It's interesting how this movie will be received by the public at a time when Americans are debating the very nature of patriotism and the military, not to mention how the rest of the world will see it.
 
I have to be honest, I've seen very little of the Scooby Doo movie. What I did see though, not good.

It almost sounds like someone in hollywood is trying to follow up on their stoner ramblings to hide that they were stoner ramblings.
 
Scooby Doo blew like a 6th avenue hooker.

I will say this though: The dude who they got to play shaggy was PERFECT for the part. He had the character down, and you honestly couldn't tell the difference in his voice from the old cartoon.

But GOD was that movie bad...
 
I might like it, if they occasionally let us see the hands that produce GI Joe's body movements... ;) Are they going to use one of the large action figures, or one of the small ones?

The actor was Matthew Lillard (sp?) who has one of the best lines in the movie Hackers "Spandex; its a priviledge, not a right".

And just how do you know how a 6th Ave. hooker blows? :eek:

:D :devil:
 
Actually Scooby Doo wasn't that bad, if you don't take it too seriously. I think it was Fred and Daphne's petty, narcasistic bickering that ruined it. Scooby was a riot though, and Mathew Lillard did do a great Shaggy (btw Casey Kasum was the original voice of Shaggy)

As for the G.I.Joe movie-well, there's an answer to a question nobody asked. I won't go see it. I had an original 12" action figure when I was a kid, and it would ruin my memories.
 
I haven't seen all of it, but the parts of Scooby Doo that I HAVE seen weren't bad at all. I expected much worse, but was pleasantly surprised with it.

This G.I. Joe movie sounds interesting. I'm definitely interested in seeing how it turns out.
 
Hmm, on second thought, if they did it like what G.I.Joe was originally meant to be, a man of action, a bit like James Coburn's FLINT movies, then maybe. But if they do the later cartoon G.I.Joe-vs.-Cobra crap then forget it.
