Yeah… wow. I’ve read and heard a lot of comparisons between the new G.I. Joe: Rise of COBRA film and some less-than-stellar films of years gone by, most notably the low-budget Street Fighter movie. And at first, without anything to base any opinions on, it was tough to argue… yeah, we all knew they were throwing 170 million dollars at it, and we knew there were some notable names attached to the film, but there was simply nothing else to go on.
Until today:
First, Justin gushes about cartoons, and now I’m sneaking in a comic book plug. What’s this G.I. Joe blog coming to?
Over the summer, Cellar Door Publishing put out a graphic novel called “Minister Jade,” which is, in the words of its creator, Steve Bialik, “a superhero story set in ancient China.” Those of you who frequent the forums at JoeSightings may remember me plugging it in my signature there for the better part of 2008. Hopefully, some of you made your way to the Cellar Door website or your local comic shop and picked up this great book.
Came across another version of the 15 second ET spot on FirstShowing.net.
MUCH better quality! Hell yeah!
EDIT: MovieBox.net also has a YouTube video up, however they’ve disabled embedding it. Check it out on Youtube itself! Even better quality.
Some enterprising Youtuber has finally posted the video for the 15 second spot from Entertainment Tonight. The quality isn’t the best, but it certainly looks entertaining!
Looking forward to the real thing on Sunday, and in better quality!
