I watched GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra on Saturday night, and it was as big and stupid as I thought it would be. Movie critics have been absolutely merciless with it. Rolling Stone's review said: "I don't know what to say about the acting, writing and directing in G.I. Joe because I couldn't find any", while Premiere claimed that "This movie’s sole purpose is to make teenage boys high-five each other".
All I'm going to say is, it was loads of fun to watch. And I'll start listening to "serious movie critics" only when their "serious movies" start featuring Scarlett and The Baroness.
It did, though, get me to thinking about the Battle: Action Force comics my brother used to read (and I used to steal). And that got me snooping around the Intrawebs, where I found...
a site called Blood For The Baron, which has scans of all the old comic strips (repeat: all of them), there for my time-wasting, childhood-reliving pleasure. I'm so excited about this discovery, I'm pretty much beside myself (I'm sitting here next to me).
I mean, seriously: how cool/retro/geeky/nerdy/sad/brilliant is this?
