I've only seen one preview (before Star Trek), but I'm reasonably sure the GI Joe armor is a decent knock off of the power armor that should've been in the Starship Troopers movie, if they'd actually put the coolest part of the novel into the movie.
After reading that Deadpool list, I have to wonder if the world could withstand the awesomeness of a Deadpool/Ambush Bug team-up. They're both ka-ko-ko with the co-co-puffs, and realize they're actually comic book characters.
I'm pretty sure that would break the world. I would love it.
There are a few other oddball pairings I'd do if I could write my own intercompany crossover. Detective Chimp and Howard the Duck getting drunk together. Black Lightning and Iron Fist comparing costumes. The only fight in the book would be a celebrity boxing match between J. Jonah Jameson and Perry White.
Well, from the look of their helmets, we can at least be assured that this new version of GI Joe isn't secretly backed by an evil government conspiracy... That, or the evil government conspiracy read the Evil Overlord List and is obeying the first rule:
My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
I'm betting that was more to do with the actors. Actors, for some weird reason, hate it when their faces are covered for more than half the movie (which doesn't bode well for a lot of superhero movies). It's also, I presume, why martial artists like Ray Park get a lot of silent (or voiced-over by someone else) masked roles as they bring other skills to the table.
"Strange object imaged in the imperial vortex..." "Bring it through safely. Land it."
DW: Planet of the Dead airs here tomorrow night. At least we'll get Wilf as a full companion for the Tenth Doctor's final adventure. Although I was hoping writer-producer Moffatt would last a little while longer before succumbing to the media's need for hype. His comments on the new actress are sadly reminiscent of Dark Angel: "girls are going to want to be her, guys are going to want to be with her" - is language like this some kind of disease you contract if you work in television, or do the publicity people actually believe the audience will swallow it?
If you can guess what I'm listening to as I type this, I may have to buy a certain action figure...
I loved that film as a kid, and love the cheese of it today. It's also weird to see Timothy Dalton, awesome to see Brian Blessed, and even stranger to think that Topol (Zarkhov) went on to do "Fiddler on the Roof" on Broadway.
And now I learn a special edition DVD of Flash Gordon is about to be released here... but my credit card has to recover from all these half-price Doctor Who DVDs first :)
We seriously need a Flash Gordon RPG, don't you think?
I keep telling myself to trust in Steven Moffat. Steven Moffat is awesome. Steven Moffat knows what he's doing.
Then I think of the fourth season of Coupling and I cringe.
But other than that, he's been great. The pick for the new companion looks fine to me, so I'll just trust him when he says the actor playing the new Doctor will be terrific.
Though if I ever get to meet the Mr. Moffat, I'm telling him why Anthony Head should be the Doctor. I don't care if it's 2030 and Head is 76, I'll make that pitch.

Geffen and Priest writing, of course.

Another interesting bit: according to IMDB, Karen Gillan played Soothsayer in "The Fires of Pompeii" in 2008. I may have to dig that up.
