okay, why with the 'don't hide in the fridge?' ? There was a Punky Brewster about that, too ... was this, like, an endemic cause of kiddy-death in the mid '80s? Kids getting stuck in kitchen appliances? I do not understand.

Advance reviews! There are massive spoilers here that I have skipped over but I lolled at this opening in the second review:

I have no idea how Cobra Commander won this poll -- he has no face! For all we know Gordon-Levitt's head will only be seen in some kind of "young Cobra Commander and why he wears a mask" backstory and from then on he'll just be a good actor shrieking from behind a metal faceplate.
I am more disturbed by the casting of a skinny guy as Destro, cause in my memory Destro was big and had a head that looked more like Michael Clarke Duncan's.
― nabisco, Wednesday, 15 July 2009 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Also I can't remember this character's name and maybe I'm just missing him on the full cast list, but it would appear that there is none of that campy piratical Cobra dude who (in my memory) sounded like half Australian and half Cockney and said "bleedin'" all the time.

as someone who truly, sincerely loved 80s gi joe to the exclusion of transformers, ninja turtles, or any of that bullshit, i am both terrified and obligated to see this movie.

Snake Eyes is Spock -- you can tell because they both got trapped in contaminated rooms behind glass doors and "died"
haha I dunno, I guess the Bludd/Fett connection would be that they're both mercenaries who work for the bad guys but seem kinda cool either way. except Bludd talks too much and isn't that bright, whereas Fett is a cool customer
btw this conversation somehow just led to my editing a Wikipedia page about Snidely Whiplash -- wtf has happened to my life

NB looking over the character list, I feel like you could very easily assemble a Village People / G.I. Joe crossover franchise:

Recondo first appears in Battle Action Force as an Australian who is recruited along Flash and Ripcord in Action Force (G.I. Joe's British name) under the command of Duke.
but I think that's talking about comic books

they loved the thing where the g.i. joe temperature/climate specialty guys grew up in like the opposite climate of the one they specialized in.

Recondo? Isn't that just Wild Bill with his sunglasses off? And a stitch to hold up one side of his brim?
Buncha crap, that Recondo.

he looks a little like wild bill but come on recondo is a dude.

Destro was bigger than any of the other figures - I remember him not fitting into the Cobra helicopter without the blade hitting his head.
I also loved GI Joe and never gave a shit about Transformers, He-Man, Ninja Turtles or anything else except Star Wars but I have absolutely no interest in ever seeing this even though I probably will at some point.

Marlon often does a good job in movies that don't involve his brother Shawn and he was fine here, but Channing Tatum was so ridiculously awful that he made Marlon come across like Master Thespian.
