No longer will G.I. Joe be a U.S. Special Forces soldier, the "Real American Hero" who, in his glory days, single-handedly won World War II.
Paramount has confirmed that in the movie, the name G.I. Joe will become an acronym for "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity" — an international, coed task force charged with defeating bad guys. It will no longer stand for government issued, as in issued by the American government.

At some time in the last thirty years, it mutated into "well, it is your belief in the cross that they recoil from" and then into a cross has no effect at all on a vampire. When Hollywood changed that, I washed my hands of them. Frank Capra is dead.
And people wonder why I never go to the movies, and never watch TV.
I saw this trend after that recent Pearl Harbor movie changed it from a, “Sneak Attack,” to a, “Suprise Attack.”
Last movie I’ve seen was on a DVD, and I got it because I’d read that the producers received complete cooperation and assistance from the US military during filming.
That movie was: Transformers.
Heh! While you were posting, I was typing:

my wife, of all people, thought Transformers was one of the best movies she has ever seen.
Thanks for your service.
I found myself so taken with it that I downloaded a few tracks from the score. Scorponok, SOCCENT Attack, and Decepticons. They’ve got some great percussion to them.
I hope your family is doing well.
However, Transformers should have had far more LFE than it did. You would think with giant robots walking around they could have thrown in some kick ass LFE when their feet hit the ground. There was hardly anything there. That I was disappointed in.
“LFE?”
you can have my haggis when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!
BASS!
AHH! Gotcha!
Yeah, I know.
And Lex Luthor didn’t start out as an eeeeeeeeevil corporate bastard.
The original Lex was a scientist.
I’d like to know what you mean by that.
I just heard this on Glenn Beck.....I am LIVID.
I hear you.
I’m about ready to start leveraging my home theater system a lot more frequently so as to not give any more money to this propaganda.
Same here. I refuse to see the recent superman movie, now this too will likely be on my list unless something changes.
Now I’m wondering what they’re going to screw with for the new captain america movie slated for 2009.
“Now Im wondering what theyre going to screw with for the new captain america movie slated for 2009.”
Oh that’s easy.....Captain Planet!
GO PLANET!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, I'd scream if they turned captain america into a piece of........ propaganda like captain planet.
