I don’t know why these clowns are allowed to continue pedalling their anti-american filth.

Joe's -- well, "G.I." -- identity needs to be replaced by membership in an "international force based in Brussels." U.N. Yoseph?
NO SALE.

This movie will bomb in a way that would do the 8th Air Force in WW2 proud.

I wish I thought this was a mainly a way to market world wide but I’m afraid you are right.

I think Hollywood should make this film, and spend lavishly on its production, too. Lots of special effects. Maybe Barbara Striesand or Susan Sarandon can produce this. Sean Penn can play the President of the United States. And maybe Jar Jar Binks can have a role in the UN somewhere.

Team America was a lot better than this piece of cr*p sounds like it'll be.

I heard the last draft of this project was turned down because it was too “pro-American”. I mean that that was literally the reason given by the studio in question for passing on it. As cynical as I am, even my jaw dropped at that one - and nobody else turned a hair.

And least we forget our favorite "GI Jane" Fonda ... surely there is a part for her as well.

Why Brussels? While GI Joe being 'international' is offensive enough, Brussels is the capital of the European Union, and isn't renown for being the seat of many international organizations.
NYC, Geneva, or even the Hague are more 'international' cities. Washington, D.C. is sort of, too, but is first and foremost the capital of the United States.

Yes! And bring back Alec Baldwin as an older, fatter Jimmy Dolittle! That will pack the movie houses!

Why Brussels? Lots of child porn there for the pervs to sample on location.
Shall we of Generation X start a letter writing campaign?
and the way the author puts it, it seems that COBRA is going to be led by Destro, who is of Scottish descent. No Cobra commander?

Hopefully the work will be based on the
REAL GI Joe of the 1960s and not that downsized fraud of later years.
If it will be based on the 60's Joe, I hope it accurately depicts the unique anatomy and special abilities of GI Joe such as being easily able to remove and replace a foot.

This American hero of Serbian descent served as a role model for the GI Joe figures. Not exactly. The cited article states that in 1998 they made a GI Joe honoring him and other Medal of Honor winners.
