For years, Transformers and G.I. Joe comics were published under Marvel, which then changed hands and went to IDW. However, at the end of last year, IDW’s grip on the licensing for both IP’s was lost. As the old adage goes, one man’s loss is another man’s gain, and such is the case in comic […]
Eight years after the last G.I. Joe adventure hit the big screen Paramount and MGM suit up for a reboot with Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. A few months ago, an impressive trailer highlighted cool ninja moves, outlandish stand-offs on motorcycles, and a black helmet that’s wicked cool but surely not great to actually see […]
2009 saw the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. While that film was a financial success and has its fans, it did not quite set the world on fire in the same way that Transformers, the other Hasbro toy-based movie franchise did. The consensus seems to be that it was too campy for […]
I know I wasn’t the only person bummed that GI JOE: Retaliation was abruptly moved a whole 9 months later from its original June 2012 release date all the way to this March, for a 3D post-conversion no less (with plenty of rumors surrounding other behind the scenes fiddling). Regardless, the newest trailer for the […]
I could have easily titled this article “G.I. Joe & the Paramount Predicament” as it’s no secret by now that next month’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation is no longer slated for a June 29th release. Actually, it’s not even on the radar for this year, but instead has been pushed back to March of 2013. […]
Here’s a flick I remember with fondness from my 1980’s childhood. I remember like it was only yesterday when G.I. Joe: The Movie made its debut on television. I remember checking to see if I had the right television channel on because during a battle sequence Duke got shot and there was actually blood. WTF! […]
In the good old days of movie making, the only way to get a movie made was with a sensible plot and, hopefully, a movie star or two to make it even more interesting. The recipe has since changed to making movies based off of brand awareness. The recipe only changed because people stopped going […]
I still remember the event well. I was about four or five years old. The year was 1982. I was with my parents at a local mall and we took a stroll through Sears. There, in front of me, was my very first exposure to G.I. Joe action figures. My mom said I could have […]
Well I said I would not do it, but I did! I got my hopes up before seeing G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Was I disappointed? Heck no! I sat there like a carefree kid in a candy store waiting for the next trip down memory lane as I saw all the action figures […]
First off, the studio sent a bunch of stuff to hand out on opening night. Our theater just had four posters so they had four trivia questions for the crowd. I was the first one to answer the second question which was “what is Storm Shadow’s real first name?” The answer is Tommy. So I […]
