    Hey what's with the Levitt bashing?


    Maybe you should watch Brick before you shove that foot of yours further down your mouth.

    @shauntacular: Tell me about it! Can you believe they took GI Joe, a children's cartoon where army guys dressed as cowboys, ninjas, football players and snow bunnies fight, but never kill, an army of snake-themed goons in chrome masks and eyepatches, and then turned it into a silly movie?!

    Russian Clown Shows involve a lot of extremely drunk clowns. The only funny ones that exist.


    it's old-fashioned makeup, totally different, of course, than what we did in G.I. Joe


    G.I. Joe uses only the newest, most hi-tech of makeup, utilizing the finest nanobots and depleted uranium flakes to ensure that the actor is completely drugged out and prone to babbling on and on about his goddamn makeup.

    "That's why I love Daniel Day-Lewis or Gary Oldman. Actors like that, where they're so different as each character, the actor disappears."

    Yeah, they disappear because they're acting, not cause they get a mask thrown on their face.

    I think my point was more that he's comparing himself to GO and DDL when he hasnt really done much since his stint on a vaguely popular 90's(?) sitcom.


    Not bad-mouthing the guy, that's just all I remember him from. I'll have to investigate this "Brick" of which you all speak.

    @Courteous_Gentleman: You need to stop by imdb and check out Gordon's list there--he's done a tonne of stuff since 3rd Rock that many consider to be decent work.


    He even realized that 3rd Rock was hurting him as an actor and that is why during the show's last season he wasn't in every episode. You can't blame an adult for work he did at 12, plus, how many child stars would realize-before they're even legally adults--the work they are doing is type casting them in a bad way?

    Josephs Gordon Levitt is seriously talented. See "Brick" or better yet, "Mysterious Skin". That him and Christopher Eccleston are doing a toy movie to make some scratch ain't a bad thing. It lets them do other movies on the cheap.


    Hell, they might even be able to bring some good to it. Though this is a movie by the guy who shat forth "The Mummy", so expectations are very low.

    I'm curious about his casting overall, because I just don't see Cobra Commander as being that...YOUNG? I mean, Gordon-Levitt was born in 1981. I just wonder how they're going to handle him.

    This actually reminds me a little of the DiC Cobra Commander (with the angular helmet). I must be one of only a few who enjoyed the early 1990s G.I. Joe, seeing the popular opinion against it. I don't see much difference between it and the Sunbow episodes beyond the visual style. Admittedly, the last Joe show I've seen of any sort was the movie after I bought it on DVD, years after the cartoons were cancelled.


    I never gave G.I. Joe Extreme a chance. Anybody have an opinion on it?


    Cobra-lalalalalalalalalala!
