Anyway, great choice. When the wife and I finally settle down into a house I hope to be versed enough in wiring and junk to build a secret panel that operates a garage/shed where we’ll keep our bikes…

Also I didn’t feel the movie lagged at the end. I also like how it also created a complete movie that can stand alone without Daniel Craig…who is an important character thru the entire series.

Although I didn’t read the book… I feel that most people complain when there are differences. Its impossible to condence 350 pages into a coherant films.

On a another note… I stand by my quote that “Books are about imagination and movies are about interpretation.” Why anyone would want to see a cookie cutter version is beyond me. I happen to like the difference experiences and I feel that people who can’t see past that notion are missing out and box their mind into the art of both mediums.

That’s all.

If this trailer has any redeeming value it’s by far the Red Ninja/Mountain side scene–which looks like it could be cool. Other than that, hope for the best, expect the worst.

Thank goodness for my back issues and Sunbow dvds

How did G.I.Joe Rise Of Cobra not make it onto the worst list?? I’m a HUGE Joe fan and I can say with all honesty I think it may be one of the worst films ever made and for so many reasons. First of all (this is the classic fanboy rant right here) it didn’t follow Hama’s comic or Sunbow’s cartoon and continuity whatsover, never mind the filecards!

I actually just deleted the 2 paragraphs I typed because as a 1st time visitor here it might be better to just say……..I hate the G.I.Joe film and it looks like this summer, Santa is ready to kick me in the nuts again.

Brain/Brian-Ozone is complete dingus posting something that can be otherwise blatantly obvious. What you didn’t know the figures would slip and then there wouldn’t be one there to fill-in? haha, nothing has changed in 3 years over there.

However, DCUC always has been and always will be a line of convenience. What can we make with the parts we have. That’s probably what’s dictating their lineups the most. Scott finally came out I gather (hearing the rumblings on Fwoosh) that this is pretty much what the sub will be. Big figures will only utilize existing BAF parts (so much for a new larger Doomsday, or the skies the limit BS they promised). I figured this from the start and really put up my cash only to call Mattel’s bluff. It seemed like the perfect opportunity for them to say that they had such wonderful things planned for us but we didn’t bite (talking louder than numerous again) and I wanted to see them scramble to pull something together by helping the sub come to pass.

The proof of concept figures were weak. Beyond weak. They showed that from the start they were only half committed to the idea of a sub. This would have been the perfect time to show some new sculpts and characters demanded from the start. So the sub was there to protect us from the New 52 based retail line? Yup, a reissue, Superboy Prime, and a very easy to create from existing parts Plastic Man (I’m not buying the responses about this from the latest Q&A)? So basically retail and the sub will continue with the uninspired reuse. I guess the New 52 designs would require too many newly tooled parts anyway.

I will continue to cherry-pick as I have for the last few years, but Mattel has proven they haven’t learned a thing from past failures and will continue the strip-mining techniques that has ultimately brought an end to all their non-Barbie/HW lines. Hasbro has a winner with the smaller Marvel Universe line but they have heard the fans and are trying to correct the failings of their past 6″ Marvel Legends line. I’ve always considered Hasbro to be the superior maker of figures over the house of Barbie and I think Mattel may need to pay attention to what Hasbro’s going to do, success or fail.
