I'm cringing as I await G.I. Joe the movie this weekend.
When I was younger, I lived and breathed G.I. Joe. I created thousands of stories with my action figures, bed sheets, tree trunks and bushes.
So when it was announced that a movie was being made, I was excited... But now, I'm concerned.
Paramount Pictures won't screen it for critics, however a few geeky bloggers saw it and loved it, but then again, their raves were about how hot the Baroness was.
The studio also said they are aiming for the Heartland, i. e. the birth place of American Foolishness (hey, I'm from the heartland so I know). They even did a screening for 1,000 military service members and their families at Kansas City, Charlotte, N.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
The creators of the movie claim they have no apologies about the movie, but they won't let the critics see it. I think if you don't care what others think, then showcase it.
I will see it, because I still have fond memories; but in the end, G.I. Joe the movie may be an one night stand.
