I am heartened
July 21st, 2009 by Jeff
Harry from Ain’t It Cool News has seen the new G.I. Joe movie and is pretty positive about it. I don’t generally follow AICN, but I’m happy to hear that somebody’s seen this and thinks it’s a fun movie.
In my opinion this is a vastly superior adaptation than either of the TRANSFORMERS movies. For one, this really is a GI JOE story, not a story of a teenager with grandpa’s glasses. Here, the world is in peril in a coherent way. It isn’t just MEGATRON on a building screaming insults at a boy. But these bad guys, they seriously want to rule the world, not give life to Mountain Dew machines.

People pay Harry for good reviews. Never trust them.

How do I get myself into the payola game?

I agree with Sn4tch. Harry will say paint drying the movie is awesome if paid enough.

Well Jeff, you start out by telling one Mr. Sessions that you’re willing to give him a stellar review on his next film that he’ll be able to use for box quotes… for a certain price.

Awesome, let me find that dude’s number…
