• Cuz Knowing Is Half the Battle …

  Probably been seeing all the GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra commercials lately for the upcoming movie.  As a child of the 80′s I was also a fan of GI Joe.  Fan enough to enjoy the show and a few of the toys but not fan enough to go to a JoeCon (which is run by the same company that runs Botcon).  When the first rumors came out about this movie everyone was excited.  The cast included a few unknowns but also a few known actors such as Sienna Miller as the Baroness who by most fanboys consider as very hawtsome.

  The problem with a live action movie is the translation of the characters to their respective toys.  As cartoon characters the toys would translate pretty well.  But not so much for a live action movie as here’s a picture of the new Baroness toy:
  

  

  I sure would have liked to see Sienna Millers face when they showed her her action figure. This probably is a blessing in disguise since there’s now no desire to pick up any of the new GI Joe movie toys.

  Some interesting links:

  • Starscream you have failed me for the last time.
  • I never did understand why women sizes varied between stores.
  • Looks like they need some pandas to increase revenue.
  • All that for 2016.  Less than eight years to go.
  • Do we even realize how great we have it here?
  • Yeah for Chancellor Rhee!  Too bad the parents of her target group won’t be able to understand the results.
  • Like BIG Government?  Well the numbers don’t lie.  Unless you’re from a DC school and then maybe they mean something else.
