GI Joe Giveaway Winners!

Sorry for the delay in announcing a winner of the giveaway. To make up for the delay, I decided to make two winners, and giveaway two figures! I just drew the names of all those who liked the Blog and Phillip Brown and and Gary Godsoe are the winners! Of course one of them had to be a self proclaimed “joelebrity.” Haha.

Since this is my first contest/giveaway and it is the Leaky Suit Brigade, you both have won MLC Toxo Vipers! Please contact me with your addresses and I’ll ship your figures right away.

Since this seemed to be pretty successful, I will be giving away two more figures at 100 likes. And this time they won’t be Toxo Vipers, I’ve got to keep army building them, not give them all away!

GI Joe Retaliation Movie News

It just came out that the reshooting of the movie was not to add more Duke/Channing Tatum to the movie. Its an interesting development, it sucked in the first movie, so I really hope that he is not in it much. Instead of killing Duke, I’d rather Retaliation would have just started completely anew, taking nothing from the first movie as if it never existed.

It also seems that Marlon Wayans/Ripcord is apparently happy that he was not included in Retaliation. To me it seems like sour grapes. Here is his quote from allhiphop.com “I’m not in it. Rip Cord steps on a landmine. They blew his black ass up… The last one they realized the black guy was the hero of the movie. So, they said ‘You know what? We’re going to do the sequel just so we can fix that. Let’s kill the black guy’.”

Apparently it was a racial thing. LOL.

The Hobbit Part 1 Tonight at Midnight!!!

Hey guys, non-Joe posts will be few and far between, and I felt like a could make an exception with this one. Tonight at midnight I’m going to see the first part of the Hobbit trilogy! And to make this somewhat related to GI Joe, I snagged the Hobbit graphic novels on eBay yesterday, which were adapted by Chuck Dixon who is IDW’s mainline GI Joe writer (soon to be writing Special Missions in February). The books look great and I can’t wait to read them. They are first editions and came out in 1989 and 1990.
