WHAT TO EXPECT IN 2010

I'm going to try to "mine" less from other sites and post more about my opinions and reviews on things.

Also you'll see some of my sketches, drawings and works in progress that I never intended to post on this blog.

until my next post...

GRANDAIZA'S GUIDE FOR DEALING WITH WALL STREET

These are tough, uncertain economic times that we are living in and I've come to terms with the need for a 700 Billion dollar bail out, I just think it should have gone to mortgage holders and then worked it's way up to the companies holding these mortgages.

but any who, what's done is done and now we as tax paying citizens are funneling money via the Treasury department into the financial markets by purchasing floundering securities in the hopes that they will yield a tidy profit when the smoke clears.

in the mean time, I think it's every New Yorkers duty, since we're so close to these Wall St. bums , to give every stock broker, ( or if you Luck a CFO or CEO of these hives of scum and villainy ) you see and give him DA BUSINESS.

And just in case your new to the Greater New York Tri-state area, here's a nice little cartoon that shows you what I'm talking about..

Stewie, your on...



..And if they still done cough up the dough...

WHY THE 80'S GI JOE CARTOON SERIES JUST DOESN"T WORK AS A MOVIE

As fan of the 80's GI JOE cartoon series, I like the over the top villains, the cheesy but still cool themes, the colorful costumed characters and the over the top devices used to threaten mankind ( The Weather Dominator , The Mass Device , The Triangle of Darkness ....Fucking grade A stuff ) all of these silly things work in a cartoon series or a comic book because fans of both mediums expect a little Bullshit with their entertainment.

It's what kept John Favreau's Ironman from battling A 50 story FING FANG FOOM in purple underpants in the movies or Brian Singer's Xmen From fighting Magneto on Asteroid M. It's because their are just some things that do not belong in films.

and when it comes to GI JOE it just doesn't work.

here's what I mean:




General Hawk in the cartoon, with his Jet pack , shooting lasers beams at the enemy looks perfectly at home in the cartoon world.

( go get em Soldier )













Now Here's Dennis Quad as the same character





He looks like a crotchety old fart devoid of any excitement. an unoriginal, uninspiring boring uniform on a haggered Hollywood actor looking to cash in on one last payday..so sad























I could go down the roster of characters VS cast members but just looking at the movie cast (Marlon Wayne) in their Batman begins suits , But I already covered that a few months ago (CLICK HERE TO SEE THAT POST)

Studios need to think do people really want to see this before sinking a wad of cash into a movie based on a 80's cartoon that to be honest had some fun episodes but really didn't have enough material to make a live action TV series out of let alone a big budget Hollywood feature.

Paramount pictures should can this now and cut their losses.
( sink the remainder of their movie budget into a sweet Joe game Ala army of two )

Just for shits and giggles , here's the intro to the REAL Gi joe movie intro.

Enjoy:

First Look G.I. Joe The Movie Cast in Costume

Believe me I really wanted this movie to be a huge success, but it looks like Hollywood is going the route of Van Damme's Street fighter movie with this one.


I Heard that Paramount pictures requested that these pictures not be shown.


All the more reason to throw them up.

Hot Blonde Import Karolina Kurkova as cover girlA Brooding Channing Tatum as DUKE ( who?) - Christian bale wants his suit back
And even the Snake Eyes Suit that I thought looked good, upon closer inspection, looks kind of wierd, is that a mouth on the mask?





Dennis Quade As Gen. Hawk, looking a bit constipated
Mr. Quade looking confused.....
Rachel Nichols as a hot piece of ...ahem sorry, as Scarlett
Nice little booty shot.

Byun-hun Lee as Storm Shadow & Sienna Miller as the Baroness
Assassins or......

.....Matrix extras
Marlon Wayans?!? as ripcord? WTF. And another Wayne Enterprises nomex suit.

A basic cable network, G4TV, can do a better casting and wardrobe job. Paramount should just fork the money over to the ATOS segment producers and beg them to finish the film.

Darling of stage and screen, ATOS host Miss Olivia Munn, as the Baroness
