Really? That Must Have Been Hard To Do.

And by "hard to do" I mean "eff up a simple premise like a GI Joe movie." When I first heard that this had been greenlit, I thought that as long as Snake Eye's costume was true to the cartoon/comic/action figure I'd be stoked to see it. But those silly looking "accelerator suits" (and more importantly the lame CGI monkey movements they make with 'em) really wrecks even that for me. Boo.



Prob'ly I'll go see it anyway.

Funny the Things You Remember Sometimes

The other day, for some reason, the memory of something that I *thought* I remembered, maybe, seeing as a kid (I think it was in pre-school, so quite a while ago, back where the memories are kind of fuzzy) but wasn't really sure if it ever really existed at all, popped into my head for some unknown reason. Due to the miracles of the intartubes, I was able to find out that, yes, indeed, it was real and it's available on the YouTube. Here, for your viewing pleasure, via someone else's work, I present this piece of $#!%..."Hardware Wars."





Question: Did people in the late 70's/early 80's mostly look as goofy as these fools, or was this just made by particularly goofy looking people?

Damn.

Can someone who's got the Cartoon Network look up when this is going to be on and record it for me, please?



Because I always was a little bit irritated that a solid three minutes of each episode was devoted to the Joes and Cobras firing guns (and knives, swords, harpoons, shurikens, animals, bombs, missiles, you name it) at each other, and yet there was nary a casualty to be seen.

You Got The Touch!

You got the power!


Fun Fact: Last year Connor would sing this to me all the time. It was awesome. I miss it. I also miss his humming of the Imperial March whenever he'd get sleepy.

Supposedly this is going to be in the new Transformers movie, so that things can come full circle. Too bad they can't bring Orson Wells back from the dead to voice Unicron as well.
Fun Fact: I recently found an old school assignment of Ethan's where he stated something like "Unicron comes along and eats the planet" and his damn teacher marked him down for misspelling "Unicorn." When's the last time you heard of a unicorn eating a damn planet, lady.

Transformers. You were about my third favorite toy growing up, yet you've managed to stay a more prevalent part of my life than the first and second favorite toys.

Odd...

...I always thought it was two women singing this.

I may just go and get my hair cut like that guy's is over my lunch break.

Mask!

That's Really The Guy Who Did Flint's Voice.

I think.

I love GI Joe (except for the secret foot-stab-in-the-middle-of-the-night feature that only parents get to find out about) and I love robot chicken.

Who knew watching action figure's faces explode could be so damn funny?
