    Wow...those were *way* better than the movie. At least there was a plot. I saw Rise of Cobra only because I love Chris Eccleston.
    I want my $11 back, so I can mail it to Chris with a note: 'Love your acting. Here's a few bucks so you can keep up the *good* work.'

    @linworthnewt: Seriously, you should do that. Stories like that radiate through the Hollywood community. It would make his day, and he could share the story with cronies over drinks after a long day on a sucky movie set.

    If they really wanted to reenact the stories I told with my G.I Joes as a kid, they'd switch the heads and bodies around.

    I think the only acceptable torture chamber for GI Joe would be a diabolical device that focuses the intense heat of the sun directly onto one of the soldiers.

    Anything else is selling out.

    The producers could have saved a lot of money and just hired the Robot Chicken animators to make their movie using action figures. I'd actually consider paying money to see that. Otherwise? As I've said before, it's Megaforce/farce for a new century.

    What the hell kind of accent is Eccleston supposed to be doing in this!? It starts off as that bad 1920s NY gangster accent, which is apparently what we sound like to British people, but by the end it sounds more vaguely English.


    Christopher Eccleston without the Manchester accent is like David Tennant without the hair. Just sad.

    @Jeriba: As far as I can tell, based on years of television viewing, to Britons all Americans sound like a) they're from Georgia, or b) that obnoxious tourist in that one Fawlty Towers episode who wanted the Waldorf Salad.

    @Jay042: "Didn't Trey Parker and Matt Stone already do this movie?"

    Amen to that. Both this and Transformers seem like exactly the bad action films they made fun of in Team America. They're almost so bad they're a parody themselves. Yet they're just too stupid to be funny, to me at least. Too bad they had to take down what could have been decent movies for this generation's kids based on shows for 80s generation kids. As bad as GI Joe and Transformers got at times, it still seemed more respectable than this trash.

    I miss you more then Michael Bay missed the mark

    When he made Pearl Harbor

    I miss you more than that movie missed the point

    And that's an awful lot girl

    And now, now you've gone away

    And all I'm trying to say is

    Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you...


    Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?

    I guess Pearl Harbor sucked

    Just a little bit more than I miss you

    @RonMaverick291: If you are now, or still are able to think like, a 10 year old who wants nothing but giant robots fighting each other and cute girls looking cute and gets excited when toys, I mean characters, you love get "upgrades" (think KITT at the beginning of every season), you will like Transformers 2... a lot. And I really mean all that in the best possible way.
