Looks like it's happening, and Stephen "Mummy Van Helsing" Sommers is going to direct. Oh boy.

Van Helsing sucked hard, but I didn't mind the Mummy movies. This will probably be far worse than all of them, though.

For some reason, the idea of a GI Joe movie sounds a lot cheesier to me than Transformers did. That's kind of fucked up.

Sounds, from the choice of director, like it's likely to be just a big budget action flick, so I probably won't go see it. But probably be a fun ride for those who do.

if GI Joe had a Canadian soldier that came with a touque and a hockey stick and rode around on a snowmobile I might have liked them better.

These are the action figures we grew up with:

Aside from Ken, those are the gayest action figures I've ever seen in my life.

Does anyone remember the cartoon episode where they have to go through the Cobra funhouse and deal with all the crazy booby traps? That shit was great.

I loved G.I. Joe growing up. Loved the comics, loved the toys, loved the cartoon. I still have all of them sitting in my parents' house and I'm surprised they haven't burned them, since they take up a fair amount of space. Well, they did make me sacrifice quite a few large items which I regret (I'm sorry Terrordrome, I could have sold you on Ebay). I'll see a movie, because of this childhood fanaticism. I also expect to be greatly disappointed. Advice to any writers/directors, focus on Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

Just cut a live action version of the original movie, but don't let Duke (was it Duke?) survive the wound. Also, no Seargant Slaughter.

Duke didn't die? I was thinking he did. My memory of this is awfully fuzzy.

No, he recovered from the snake-through-the-chest wound. In fact, he was fine about an hour and a half later.

I remember him dying on his death bed, but not before passing the Joe Matrix on to Flint ... wait.

Those action figures that were held together by one rubber band were probably the best toy ever.
