Only 36 short days until G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and reason #36 why it’ll rock!

I hope everyone is enjoying these, because we’ve still got 35 left to go!

As we lead up to the release of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film, Twitziller continues to count down the reasons why the film is going to be fun.  Next in line!

#36:

Again, I feel like Twitziller and I are on the same page here.  High tech equipment has always been one of the hallmarks of G.I. Joe vs. Cobra, and while we certainly got our fair share of that in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, the stuff we’re getting in the second film seems much more in line with our plastic universe over the past three decades.  Motorcycles that turn into rockets… I mean come on!

Between that bike, Cobra Commander’s personal gunship, the Water Moccasin, and of course the immortal HISS Tanks, these Hollywood renditions of our plastic toys seem much more lifelike and much more like our ten year old imagination made “flesh”.

Thirty-Eight days until G.I. Joe: Retaliation – Reason #38 it will be awesome!

Keeping up the daily tradition, Twitziller has posted another reason to look forward to G.I. Joe: Retaliation on his Twitter account!  The latest reason can be seen below:

#38:

The term sandbox can mean many different things, and I love the dichotomy here.  It truly is a sandbox in every sense of the word.  Having the latest G.I. Joe story take place at least partly in a desert makes sense considering the global military landscape, but it also makes sense from the perspective of each of our 10 year old selves slamming our own action figures around in our sandbox.  While most of us smacked our Snake Eyes and Destro action figures together in the sand, Director Jon Chu is doing what we only dreamed of.  Taking these toys and making an actual world out of them.  Let’s see what he can do.
