GI Joe Official Movie Publicity Photos - LARGE PICS!

[TheObsoleteMan]

I love how mousey the girl giving that interview was.

Well, at least he mentioned the cartoon as well when he said nobody died. He was half right anyway.

Steve Sommers discusses the GI Joe movie:

"We were making a movie about a comic series that went 170 issues without anyone ever dying."

Wow.

Are you ^^^^ing serious??? What an utter dumbass!!!

It was, what, 155 issues and there were dozens of deaths.

And this twat hole of course doesn't have the balls to show his hack face at Comic-Con...

 

[Buttmunch]

I liked the part when he said this was a hyper-realistic movie

 

[IrishJedi]

The fact that this guy gets handed $150-$200 million to make movies... I just can't even wrap my head around it.

He's like Hollywood's equivalent of the Corporate CEO's who are horrible, run their businesses into the ground and then get multi-million dollar golden parachute retirement packages.

Seriously, he makes Michael Bay look like David Lean.

 

[BuddyGus]

Hmmm. Looks to me like he is trying to disguise himself with that super d-bag goatee. Maybe he his going into hiding on release day.

 

[CelticPredator]

I still dont hate SS, and I think he's a very down to earth fella. Not once did he come off as an ^^^^^^^.

Plus, the Mummy and Deep Rising are some of my favorite movies. So...whatever.

 

[EVILFACE]

I don't care how down to earth he is, his movies suck. He's ruined the Universal Monsters and they are now letting him ruin GIJoe.

It's not about whether he's a jerk or a nice guy... he's just a complete cipher as a filmmaker.

No one would care if he continued to make movies like DEEP RISING (which is an awful movie, but actually very fun to watch). But he keeps getting handed franchises and characters that many people actually care about (and in the case of the Universal Monsters, classic characters that are lauded)... and he completely pisses all over them.

 

[DarthNeil]

I had a hard time watching that interview-- He's completely clueless (as Michael Bay was about Transformers)... Why do they keep giving these licenses to non-fans to re-invent?...

 

[Darthrazz]

"We were making a movie about a comic series that went 170 issues without anyone ever dying."

Wow.

Are you kidding me??? No real research what so ever must have gone into this movie. I can understand about deviating from the original story for cinematic purposes etc, whatever. Sometimes it works , Starbuck's character now being a woman in BSG, and sometimes it doesn't. To say that no one died in the comic book is ludicrous! Maybe he meant the cartoon??

Sadly, this would only matter if he cared.

 

[IrishJedi]

He also called the original JOEs "dolls". That's a glimpse into his mindset right there.

Well the exact quote is:
"the funny thing about GI Joe is that they did 170 something comic books and a 120 television cartoons and nobody ever dies."
He was partially right but still a ******.
I get the feeling he just did the Joe movie for money, and I hope it's the last he ever gets from Hollywood.

Someone -- who calls himself Mister Clown -- bought a 12-inch Hasbro Cobra Commander from the Rise of Cobra movie, and made the above video to reveal what lies under CC's translucent mask. Spoiler warning -- if you don't want to know what's under CC's mask (and have apparently not looked too closely at any of the Cobra Commander promotional art) don't watch. Also, if you don't want to know how shoddy and cheap Hasbro's 12-inch movie Joes are, don't watch, because this video will blow your mind with its ^^^^tiness. Really, Hasbro? You couldn't afford a back-part to the chest plate? Or articulated ankles? Or re-used the head from some old Nightmare from Elm Street Freddy Kreuger figure? Grr. Thanks for everyone who sent in the tip.

 

[Darthrazz]

Wow that figure is craptastic, not bad though for $15. Horrible design for Cobra Commander, but we knew that.

I don't think he even gets a pass with regard to the cartoon. A number of Cobra pilots seem to die during Major Bludd's first strafing run on the Skystrikers in the MASS Device miniseries and a ton of Cobra vehicles are destroyed in the opening of the 1987 movie (including the giant helicarrier that Duke obliterates) without any of the signature "parachuting to safety" action.

For more viewing entertainment here's more of the cast talking about the movie. Good to hear that 90% of the movie was acted in "a pod surrounded by green screen."

At least Wayans had good taste in action figures as a kid. That's about all I can say.

 

[Khev]

(Yes that's supposed to be the same guy.)

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, Breaker is also miscast and looks ridiculous, but Saïd Taghmaoui is quite likely the best actor in the entire film. If you've seen him in THREE KINGS, THE KITE RUNNER, or on LOST you know what I mean. Obviously, he's in as the token middle easterner in this retarded PC notion of a "diverse" JOE team. I hope he did it for the paycheck, because he deserves much, much better.

Watch this (timely) clip from THREE KINGS where he schools Mark Wahlberg and tell me this guy isn't slumming it by being in Sommers' cinematic abortion:

I agree, the guy is a good actor and deserves better than this. I just HOPE that this movie is left without the option option of a sequel, everyone dies in it, hopefully like 7 minutes into it.

[Luke]what a hunk of junk[/Luke]

The smiling scared face looks like something from a komedy kartoon. The reviewer is a dork too.
