The “Far, FAR into the Danger Zone on the Hot Crazy Matrix” Darth Barbie doll.

Look, I’m not gonna lie. Adolescent Me would have dated Darth Barbie.

Video of the Day, The MCU Needs GI Joe For Its Next Phase edition.

IN YOUR HEARTS YOU KNOW I AM RIGHT.

There’s also a reasonable link: Marvel published the comic books. And look at that aesthetic. Look at it. It’s perfect.

PS: Yes, I know: SHIELD, and Hydra. But forget that, or use those organizations for spy flicks. GI JOE/Cobra is for the More Dakka stuff.

The Intro to the G.I. JOE Movie (of fond memory)

Well, at least it’s the one that I fondly remember. And it’s probably best if I don’t watch it again. Just to be on the safe side, you know what I mean?

GI Joe Retaliation trailer… wait, this didn’t come out yet?

I guess that it hasn’t: if it had, I… all right, ALL RIGHT, I admit that I would have gone to see it.

I’m not proud to admit it. But for some reason I still thought that it came out last year.

So, the GI JOE series is now on NetFlix.

On the one hand, it’s an integral part of my childhood. On the other hand, I am terrified at how much the animation probably sucks.

On the gripping hand, I mostly wanted to watch this again:

Which is, of course, from the movie.

GI JOE: Retaliation trailer.

OK. OK. I know what you’re going to say. I really and truly do. I would, in fact, probably say that myself. But just watch it until the end, and when you’re done, you will hopefully understand why this may be a thing.

Movie of the week: …OK, so it’s the complete Transformers.

Specifically, the Transformers: 25th Anniversary Matrix Of Leadership Edition [The Complete Series].

So sue me. And watch as we switch out G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra… OK, that wasn’t really intentional. Honest.

Movie of the Week: GI Joe.

Yes, I ripped G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra up and down the length of Twitter a couple of days ago.

So?

So we replace Bottle Shock with it as Movie of the Week. Because… well, because it was as close as you can get to the animated show without, you know, animating it.

If I had the traffic, this would be an open thread.

I got nothing, sorry. Aside from the irony of realizing that 90% of my at-the-time objections to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra were based around my feeling like I was watching a live-action cartoon. Which was sort of the point, yes.

I think that I’m going to go watch the GI Joe movie now.

I wasn’t going to spend twenty bucks to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra – fairly or unfairly, the movie struck me as the director’s desire to make a movie about his three or four favorite action figures as a kid – but a buck rental was doable, and done.

Besides, today’s the aftermath.
