Wait, so you're saying they started making the movie when all that existed of the comic was one issue? Almost have to wonder why bother, as the book would have no fan base yet and there was little to steal.

Hell, given it's so short (one of the main problems, although time to do the story right wouldn't have helped if the cut Kioshi Warrior scenes are any clue) do one of the first season episodes as part of the movie commentary.

You have to remember that despite being first, they've lost the Avatar naming war and want to avoid confusion. If there weren't to be more Avatar movies, maybe they'd keep using the title on TV.

They re-introduced the 12 inch Joe's in the 90's, and when my parents died I consoled myself a bit by buying up a bunch. The Patton and General Bradley are great, and it was interesting to watch The Pacific with the GI Joe of one of the characters. They stopped production again a few years ago for the same reason they did the first time- they were just too expensive for a kids toy. I think they re-introduced the 3 inch version about that time.

There was a great Eddie Murphy bit on his return to SNL as a guest where he talked about the new smaller GI Joes, and Barbies preferred the real ones.

My copy of the movie has the Rifftrax merged with it, and while re-listening to the podcast with it just now I got to the point where the giant is explaining to Harry what a Muggle is. The riff changes his dialog to "You see, Harry, when a group of people is different it helps to come up with a funny sounding word, or 'slur', to describe them." By any chance do the books deal with that aspect of it?

It was a dark and Dorkman night...

Does Asylum know (or care about) the difference between a screenplay and a treatment?

An attempt to drain the great lakes of water to send elsewhere was recently defeated. Those of you who actually want to drink and grow things will be forced in the near future to move back to the "Rust Belt", which I think we'll rename "The only place with fresh water". Thus, the women will come to us

Gee, remaking a teen movie so that modern teens will see it. How... normal. Naturally, usually when they do this they use a different name figuring teens won't have heard of the earlier version anyways.
(I recall the local review of Top Gun, back in those pre-video days, that commented that yes it stole from every movie out there, but kids hadn't seen those movies yet)

I agree about the Corsair- There's one signed by Pappy Boyington hanging level to the entranceway in the huge air/space museum next to the DC airport.

The best plane, though, is the A-10 Warthog. For when you really don't like anyone on that road over there.
