I'm 36 too, and some of that stuff was shit. That said, I did own the Pogo.

G.I.Joe Retaliation Is Getting The IMAX 3D Treatment

IMAX Corporation and Paramount Pictures, Skydance Productions, in association with Hasbro, today announced that G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the action-packed follow-up to the 2009 box office hit G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX 3D format and released to select IMAX theatres internationally starting March 28 and for a one week run in North America beginning March 29.

"Dwayne Johnson has resonated well with IMAX fans, and we believe his strong global appeal, coupled with the action spectacle of G.I. Joe: Retaliation in IMAX 3D is sure to excite moviegoers," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment.
And lets check out some pics!

Two possibilities. Either the movie is good. Or some producers are really patching it up so they can salvage some revenue.

You meant the latter rather than the later. That's what has Snake confused. Although he must have a hard time reading his own posts (they're usually an English teacher's worst nightmare) so I've no idea how he noticed your grammatical error.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

I saw the "extended preview" in front of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. It was in 3D, and I won't be seeing the final version in 3D because the action is too fast for it, but they showed a good Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow fight. And the fact they removed the dumbass lips from the Snake Eyes costume makes it even better.

Everything I'm seeing looks fine to me - I'm really looking forward to it.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

Wow, I can't believe how time flies. I recall last May or so, everyone in this forum was so jazzed up to see this and then Paramount pulled it and people here were saying I'm not going to give a shit about this movie next March. Now, we're only 2 months away.

It's going to be weird seeing Bruce Willis in 2 huge movie franchises barely 1 month apart.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

Minutes ago, The Rock became WWE Champion again. Is he going to wear the belt when on talk shows promoting GI Joe? Sure seems like WWE gave it to him to get some visibility for themselves during his upcoming promo tours.

I'm still not sure I'm gonna catch this in theaters. I might wait for video.

I didn't hate Van Helsing but Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is the movie Van Helsing should have been. Remember the badass production art for Van Helsing that had us thinking it was gonna be a gory ride? That's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.

WWE gave it to him so they could do Cena-Rock II at Wrestlemania for the title. That's pretty much been the plan since Wrestlemania last year.

Fair enough, Van Helsing was really awful and one of the very few movies I've ever turned off before finishing. The trailer for Hansel and Gretel brought back horrible memories of watching VH so I just sort of wrote it off.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

Van Helsing was an abomination. I always hated that they tried turning Van Helsing into a PG version of Solomon Kane. Thank god we finally got an actual Solomon Kane flick that rocked.

The Frankenstein creature in Van Helsing is the only saving grace, because it's an actual man-in-suit creature. The cgi used was awful. Even the cgi used in H&G looked really bad. Surprising that it was directed by the dude that directed Dead Snow. I love Dead Snow - I even imported it.

I'm liking what I'm seeing. Still wish they were killing off Channing Tatum in the beginning. He was the worst part of the first movie.

I don't get the hate for Tatum but regardless of that, it was a stupid idea to kill off Duke. And, despite my really liking the Rock, I don't like the idea of making Roadblock the leader (or making Flint little more than set dressing). All they had to do was recast Duke.

At least Snake Eyes looks badass.

My theory is, he falls into the 'pretty boy' category and woman are hot for him. So to men, he must be hated out of principal. 21 Jump Street seems to have givin him some 'cred' so he isn't as hated as he was a few years ago.
