introducing el coco

this is what happens when you read Lucha Libre Issue#1(from IMAGE Comics):

introducing my very-own Luchador: EL COCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! - Your Walking Nightmare! ... well, at least that's what the online-translator spewed out when i typed in "The Sandman" ... LOL

El Coco insists that he is not a homeless-man, as the globe is his home and he walks the path of righteousness, defending the ones who cannot defend themselves .. and if they give him soup, that would be enough ... El Coco likes hot soup ...

what is the Global Intergrated Joint Operating Entity?

"G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer. The property is closer in tone to X-Men and James Bond than a war film."

"Although the new G.I. Joe team will be international in scope, don't expect Joe's British counterpart Action Man to be included after all. IESB.net reports, "Looks like he will be gone, this new script is set to be 100% GI Joe, it will revolve around the characters we all grew up with fighting Cobra, Destro, the Baroness and Storm Shadow. When do they expect to have this new script ready? Six to eight weeks. Pre-production is expected to start by October-November and production to start early '08." = what? no Cobra Commander?

and so the G.I.Joe Movie is a GO

and so the G.I.Joe movie is a GO! with director Stephen Sommers (Van Helsing, The Mummy) helming this live-action adaptation (or re-invention?) of popular 80's cartoon based on Hasbro's military figures, and an obvious "rekindled" franchise to come (hopefully for the powers-that-be, i reckon LOL) ... and of coz i hadda do a quickie-bash for good ol'Joe and his buddy, Action Man, innit? :p

read more via CBR / via HollywoodReporter and this interesting article on AdvertisingAge; which discusses the relevance and theories of G.I.Joe's existence in relation to current real-world-scenario.


i'll just be happy if they'd come out with more new figures and toys ... *heh*
