I'm just ringing in to say that this blog may have been dead these last months, but it's certainly not going to be dead forever...please stay tuned for more reviews coming up as well as some new features.
In other news, apparently GI Joe 3 is being delayed due to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's crowded schedule.

GI Joe fans are of course no strangers to tardy film releases ranging back to the ten month delay of GI Joe Retaliation from it's original release date. I remember that time being quite painful in it's own way given that we had high expectations of the film. Rumors swirled that it was being reworked because it tested very poorly and the studio was trying to work Channing Tatum back in. I had hoped the delay would have made for a better movie, and maybe it did but the film still stank anyway and the Toy Line wasn't quite what everyone was hoping for either.
With this latest delay I can only hope that Hasbro has learned it's lesson from the second film and isn't going to scrap any other plans they had for GI Joe just because of what is sure to be another lousy take on the franchise. The Rock's inclusion in the third film I think is a mistake anyway as the whole thing demands to be blown up with a complete reboot. I like the Rock, but he wasn't that good in his role in the film. His character, Roadblock, being cast as the movie's main protagonist is a change from tradition that I believe was done for all the wrong reasons and too much of the formula was to throw action-star power at the audience hoping they ignored all the other flaws.
Thanks great blog ppost
