Anti-Americanism gone ad absurdum.

[Axlrose]

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 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.

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.

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

[Plutarch]

Interestingly, G.I. Joe started out as a comic strip in Stars & Stripes, and then a 1945 movie, and not an articulated plastic action figure until 1964. The movie could be a prequel, before G.I. Joe earned his fame as an action figure. Of course, G.I. Joe cannot be anything but American, as that is why he is a G.I. rather than a Tommy, Jerry, or Ivan.

G.I. = “Global Integrated?”

Makes me think about Rule 308.

...does this make Lady Jane a member of Code Pink?

This is the first time I heard the story of Mitchell Paige. What a great read. Thanks for posting the article.

John Adam was interviewed, but didn't say anything either way.

Bogart’s Rick Blaine in “Casablanca,” do before he opened his eponymous cafe -

Seems Rick shows up more than ONCE....

Lets see Rick characters played by Bogie and the order they were released.

Across The Pacific ((AKA Aloha means Good by)) (1942) He plays Rick, from Army Intel

Casablanca (Late 1942) Also plays Rick, a fellow who doesn’t seem to care for Nazis either.

IN 1948, he played a burned out Army Captain “Frank” who had a lot to say about civilians during WWII. One of my favorite Bogie movies, I think it is even better than Casablanca both the story but also because we get to ‘meet’ Bacall.....
