GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra Eye-Waggles The Weekend Box Office
Right then, GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is the number one movie at the weekend box office. This much we know. But that’s it. That’s literally it. Ahead of its release, Paramount decided not to screen GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra for anyone - and we’re not stupid enough to actually pay to see it - so we haven’t got the slightest clue what happens anywhere in the movie whatsoever.
We think it’s got a cobra in it. And some bloke called Joe. And it’s about Action Man, so none of the characters have any genitals. That would make sense.

a) it's got
Dennis Quaid in it,

G.I. Joe Gets Movie Makeover
Following the gargantuan success of Transformers, it would seem that the studios are literally falling over themselves to create films based on best-selling toys that will spawn whole new generations of best-selling toys - a bit like the life cycle of Giger's Alien, but with parts that may prove a choking hazard to children aged three and under.
Latest toy-update on the agenda? Well, hecklerspray had its money on Boglins: an all-action reimagining starring Renee Zellweger and a CGI Les Dawson. Alas, we were wrong.
It turns out that G.I. Joe is the next big name coming your way.
