    I never know if Nero is serious in movie threads or not. I'm hoping it's just his 'character'.

    Never really got into "Neo Joe". The GI Joe stuff I knew was Sea Wolf and kung fu grip.

    I'm glad you brought that up. I wanted to talk about it before but I blew a fuse just thinking about it.

    I just can't imagine how blissfully ignorant and unaware the writer, the director, and the producers were to blow up the Eiffel Tower after they had already done it in Team America. It was a self fulfilling parody prophecy.

    Hiding a base inside of a landmark as well. It didn't occur to me before, but I searched Team America vs GI Joe and found this wonderful vid just now:

    LOL.

    I'd rather watch Team America any day.

    Sounds like a renter, hopefully a free rent at Redbox. Haven't seen any of the Transformers movies, but Mortal Kombat the movie and Streetfighter the movie comes to mind when I think what this GI Joe movie will be.

    I never said it was a great movie. It was just mindless goofy fun. And there nothing wrong with the acting, it delivered exactly what it needed to. Seriously, what the heck do you people expect in a hasbro toy movie? It's not like the script gave them actors a lot to work with.

    It just rubs me the wrong way when I see people criticizing the 'acting' when they know zip about it. It's like saying Pennzoil sucks because someone put some in a Merkur once.

    But, that's the internetz I guess. A bunch of people who would pee themselves if they had to get up in front of an audience, but can sit at their little glowing screens and criticize the people who actually do it.

    Calm down dude. lol

    I'm sure there are tons of actors who would disagree with you. That is ofcourse unless you decide that only those who agree with you know anything about acting. In that case, you're right, none of them would disagree with you.

    I think that's pretty much the case. See it matinee style and you'll end up happier, lol.

    Yup, nobody can be a movie critic unless they've actually been an actor.

    Nobody can be a football announcer unless they've played football.

    Nobody can be an art critic unless they've painted.

    Nobody can be a boxing ref unless they've been a boxer.


    Your argument has fundamental logic errors.

    When I see a movie, I expect the lines to not be corny (writing) and the acting to be decent (Direction, Talent)... You mentioned Malin Ackerman in The Watchmen and I agree completely. Her performance was lackluster to say the least.

    Somebody mentioned George Lucas basically destroying Hayden Christensen's career with his horrible dialog in Star Wars Episode 2. A perfect example of what happens when poor writing and directing are sacrificed for SFX and sex appeal.

    I've seen this Tatum douche in a few movies now and he's been downright awful in all of them. He is just a pretty face if you ask me. I don't think he belongs on screen with the likes of Joseph Gordon-Levitt who gave a superb performance in the indie flick "Brick" and is now on to bigger and better things (also loved him in 500 Days of Summer).

    So even if I'd pee myself if I ever went on stage, doesn't mean I can't tell that Channing Tatum sucks donkey balls.

    I don't think acting is what is drawing people to the movie.
