movies are cool. here is a place to talk about how cool they are. or maybe how much they suck, sometimes. like that fucking piece of shit 'mac and me'. worst fucking movie ever, a two-hour ad for fucking coca-cola.

I mean the fact that Darth Maul looked awesome, and was only in the movie for a fraction of a second. They can make Snake Eyes look AWESOME and then completely underutilize his awesomeness in the film, making it suck.

G.I. Joe To Be An Origin Film?
It looks like G.I. Joe will be an origin movie, to help explain why Destro's got the metal head look, among other things. According to Access Hollywood, director Stephen Sommers promises that newbies to G.I. Joe will enjoy the film thanks to the origin story, while die hard fans will get to learn more about their beloved favorite characters.
Don't expect this to be a hardcore, realistic war film. The filmmakers are making a movie that'll be fun and probably over-the-top, featuring all our favorite Joes and Cobras.
Recent photos surfaced showing actors Channing Tatum as Duke and Sienna Miller as a pre-Baroness Baroness. Us fans were a little worried about Miller's appearance, since she had blonde hair in the photo. So are we getting a blonde Baroness?
No! According to Miller, she wears a black wig, along with the Baroness' usual leather outfit and guns. Nice! (Hint to the filmmakers: official photos!)
After the images of Snake-Eyes showed up, I couldn't help but get more pumped for the film. I'd love to see a film that's nothing but fun, that'll make me happy that I spent too much time in front of the TV watching G.I. Joe as a kid.
One more thing, the producers may even slip in the famous line that would show up in the then-mandatory, post-show PSAs (public service announcements): "Now you know, and knowing's half the battle." G.I. JOE! (A real American Hero, fighting Cobra and Destro!) Whoops, sorry I couldn't resist. The movie opens next year from Paramount Pictures.

Ripcord had a huge storyline in the comics, when he started dating the daughter of a high ranking Crimson Guardsman. Unfortunately, in Hollywood Speak, that makes him the wacky sidekick always gettin' into shenanigans that the other Joes have to pull his dumb mugging ass outta the fire! ha ha ha!!!
Unless they change them up, we already have pretty long origin stories for Destro, Baroness, Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Hawk, and the rest of the original team. And shorter ones for most characters, like the Crimson Twins, Serpentor, Mindbender, etc. I think Firefly and Bludd are the only two "mysteries" left, and Bludd has details on his filecard.

As much as I love the classic costumes, I'll be first to admit that bright yellow is pretty retarded for a counter-intelligence agent trained in ninjutsu.
Lovin' the crossbow.
Oh, and giggity.
