Did the suspect steal a gallon of prune juice too? (Sorry, Star Trek inside-joke )

Exactly, I was never expecting a stand-out, make-you-think type of film. If it's at least mildly entertaining, then good. But if it's so painfully awful that I gotta start making excuses as to why I like GI Joe ("I'm not a fan of the movie; I always preferred the toys and comic book storyline."), then I'll have to pick up the pitchfork. .....Okay, let's get back to complaining about boobage, hair color, and the least talented of the Wayans brothers being casted in this film.

C'mon now, that's the kind of crap I'd expect from a Hollywood writer and not one of my fellow MW'ers. As DH pointed out, a Hitler-like portrayal would just be too cliche. I'd rather have a CC who's words are far more effective and deadlier than any gun could be. A person who could just quietly talk to the soldier guarding his prison cell, eventually get him to open the cell door, and side with Cobra. I don't want a cardboard, cookie-cutter bad guy. Like the Joker in The Dark Knight, I want a Cobra Commander who is a formidable opponent, a perfect foil to the Joes. I want a CC who sees the average American getting fed up and pissed off with all these $700 billion bailouts, these $800 billion "stimulus packages," rising prices for gas, CFO's still getting huge bonuses and severance packages, and the same old political bullsh*t. And I want to see this CC coolly, calmly, and with a subtle reserve convince these angry and frustrated Americans to join his cause. I find these kind of villians far more interesting. The ones who you can almost, almost side with (except for the whole fact that they have zero regard for who they kill and go about implementing their agenda in an absolutely wrong way).

Excuse me while I go into full nerd mode : Wasn't CC's brother the one who's business or halfway house got burned down, got denied the insurance proceeds, became a drunk, and then caused the accident that killed Snake Eyes' parents and sister and not Cobra Commander himself? The Commander was definitely a used car salesman though. As I said before, I'd rather have CC portrayed as a charismatic orator who can sway hordes of people, like a twisted version of MLK or Winston Churchill. So, yeah, I'm with you on them using Marvel's take on Cobra Commander as a starting basis. I got nothing against the actor, but I just don't see the kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun pulling off that kind of gravitas. No thanks. I'd rather have a strong emphasis on teamwork and strategy (kinda like was hinted at here and there in MI3) with some Band of Brothers camaraderie and military strategy mixed in. I'm just gonna go into this movie thinking its a bastardized version of the much better comic book storyline. If it actually turns out better than that, then I'll be mildly pleased.

Considering yesterday was February 2nd, I'm surprised no one tried to post a picture of Bill Murray or certain ground-dwelling rodent with the caption, "All this has happened before and will happen again...."

Dude, it's just a happy face smiley. It probably means eugi saw your response and is excitedly awaiting for your next post. If it was the rolling eyes smiley like this one: , I would easily understand why you'd be upset. This smiley though is more for when you're excited like a little kid at Christmas. Hope that clears things up.

Best I could find. Consider your anti-ninja Snake Eyes stand though, I should warn you: SE pretty much uses only edged-weapon whoop-ass in this teaser. But me still likey!

Edited for accuracy.

You might wanna check out the teaser trailer for GI Joe Resolute. It'll be an online cartoon, but it looks to be more promising and more up your alley. Bullets instead of lasers. And the sweet, sweet release of Cobra Troopers dying. Not parachuting out of FANGs, or running away from enemy laser fire, but getting shot, slashed, and cut the f*ck up by a geniune commando/ninja.

I thought the reason they pushed it back was because Paramount wanted a summer release, to make it a tent/blockbuster release. Regarding ST toys/collectibles, this was always my personal favorite: Don't mess with this tough little ship!

Yes, and allow the convert to partake of the sacred Yoshinol.

I forgot who it was, but I believe someone on this board painted over the gold lettering with some black Citadel paint. Posted a pic of it too. Regarding the Citadel paints, you can usually find small bottles of them at a hobby or comic store, especially if they specialize in those Warhammer minatures.

I think takatoys' and Anasazi's stickers just have more white backing behind those red NO STEP and DANGER stickers. The white backing tends to let the colors "pop out" more. That and the aftermarket stickers seem to have less of that blurry, opaque film that Yamato's stickers tend to have. I put some red NO STEP Anasazi stickers on my blue VF-1J Max, and they look perfectly fine. If you don't mind the stickers being somewhat oversized, another alternative you might consider is using the extra stickers from the Toynami Beta. They're actually quite high-quality, and they lack that milky, filmy look of your typical Yamato sticker.

But there's a right way and a wrong way of getting your point across. The mutineers are definitely going about it the wrong way. Don't like the old man's decisions and actions, turn in your uniform or take a stand. Tyrol went on strike for the Tillium ship. Lee turned in his wings when the Admiral questioned his honor. Heck, even the Circle of early Season 3 tried to stay grounded and even-handed when they were laying down their questionable brand of justice. On another topic, it's kinda ironic: when I saw those teaser trailers for Season 4.5, I definitely misinterpreted Like I said earlier, hell hath no fury.... BTW, I thought Laird was just knocked out? Didn't seem to be bleeding or suffering from some massive blunt-force trauma.

One? I already got a second one ordered and on the way! Any reservations I had about getting a second one were quickly removed once I got my first Beta in hand (I just had to get some holiday bills paid first ). That impressive wingspan, the sheer size of the combo fighter, it's a pretty awesome sight. Granted, the Beta does have some flaws, but I'm happy with what we got. Anyways.....back to the Beagle..........It's too bad Toynami didn't just stick with their initial Scott headsculpt. That one actually strikes a nice appropriate balance between the two heads we eventually wound up with.

FRAK!!! Hell hath no fury liked a pissed-off woman! I stood up and cheered out loud when no fear, all balls Starbuck came back in her full glory! You lucked out, Racetrack! Can't wait to see what happens next week. P.S.--

Dragon?.....Lion?...... .......It's all Chinese to me.

You just need the proper "accessory" to make the leg armor all sorts of awesome : Link.

So, I guess I was the only idiot thinking "He's not dead yet! You gotta chop off his head to be sure!!" when Methos got capped. Regarding your question wldr, I'm guessing the boss FBI dude (who has the hots for Walker) will be the first to buy it. He just seems to be the most likely target right now, and his death would have most impact at this point in the plot.

ANIMATION ERROR!! The lady's opera glove was on the ground. But when she reappeared, she was still wearing both of 'em. Very amusing nonetheless. Great find!

I take it that's NOT an overgrown hospital gown she's wearing? You know, the kind that can't cover your back worth sh*t.

Posted this originally in the BSG thread, but it pretty much sums up why I won't be paying to watch Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (aka "We can be slaves, or WE CAN BE.......LYCANS!!!!!!!111!!!!!"). It might be a good fluff/popcorn movie, but a man can only take so much of one crappy trailer.

Alto: Sheryl on Monday. Ranka on Tuesday. Sheryl on Wednesday. Ranka on Thursday. Sheryl on Friday. Ranka on Saturday. Sheryl AND Ranka on Sunday. Luca: Goes into a blind rage when the first words that Nanase says after waking up are "Ranka, is that you my love?" Ozma & Cathy: Happily married after surviving a rather rocky start (During their honeymoon, Cathy said, "I think Fire Bomber is grossly overrated.") Brera: Was last heard playing "Aimo" on the harmonica shortly before flying into a nest of sex-deprived Vajra.

^^ Are you saying that Zombie Roy should beat Hik' with the pineapple salad? Or that Roy would eat a pineapple salad, eat a juicy-hot steak, and then talk smack about one of his squad members dating a girl, all right before shooting down the enemy?

^^Roy would be spinning in his grave .......check that. Roy would be so pissed--seeing Hikaru acting like a sniveling beeyotch--that he would rise up as Zombie Roy, grab Skull-1, and start beating the ever-loving piss out of Hik'. Imagine, someone who considers Roy his sempai crawling on his hands and knees towards a girl, just begging for one brief touch of her arm?! W....T.....F...? If that was Roy, he would grab that girl (most inappropriately), take a swig of his booze, bring her home, down a shot (or two), hit it, wake up the next morning, take another swig of his booze, tell the girl to fix him breakfast, eat his breakfast (w/a bottle of whiskey), then tell the girl matter-of-factly "Yeah...you should be leaving now", and still be able to get into his plane later that morning and shoot down 5 enemy aircraft. As a pupil of Roy, we should expect nothing less from Hikaru........except maybe downing fewer enemies.
