…Trailer.
- Snake Eyes Movie Poster
No seriously, don’t be the first jackass to steal/rip/distribute the movie – but DO be the coolest kid on the corner with the trailer in high-res on your netbook/iPhone/Zune.
Thanks to the football contest, the rest of the world got to peep the trailer on their fresh new HDTVs bought cheap from Circuit City’s ‘help us die gracefully’ sales. But it sprouted online well before that and we’ve found the best place to download it from is a cool little site called ComingSoon.net.

Celebreality
Swoon!
Ah, celebrities. I’m not overly enthusiastic about the fact that G.I. Joe is going to end up penetrating into more mainstream media but If it means I get to watch a movie that probably has some sweet Storm Shadow fights, so be it. That said, prepare yourself for the uninformed opinions and bullshit storytelling of celebrity blogs bringing further attention to the G.I. Joe brand. Oh look, here comes some now!
People Magazine claiming to have ‘exclusive’ first looks at the stars.
What is NoStep.org?
NoStep.org was formed by some friends that loved G.I. Joe as kids, and who still collect them today – especially since it stopped sucking. We aren’t trying to be another blog that reposts all the news you could find elsewhere, there are enough of those and we read them all too. NoStep has plans of highlighting the ways action figure culture, collecting, and customizing have permeated through to everyday life for those involved.
We hope to provide a decent ammount of fresh (read: original) content that we ourselves are creating for people like us. We also have some ideas in the works that will snap your crotch band.
If you already found us, color me surprised – just remember to come back when we have content!
Warren Ellis on Resolute
HASBRO: No, Warren, you cannot wipe Beijing from the face of the earth.
ME: Shit. (pause) What about Moscow?
HASBRO: Wiping Moscow from the face of the earth would be fine.
A must read article on why Warren Ellis was chosen for the project of reimagining G.I. Joe as an animated feature, from the man himself. There are too many perfect excerpts to list detailing his childhood playing habits and unimaginable gap in knowledge about G.I. Joe in general.
It went like this. Sam Register phoned me up and said, we’d really like you to write a GI JOE animation, at a PG-13 rating, aimed at an older viewer. I said, I’ve never seen a GI JOE cartoon in my life. The closest I got to a GI JOE comic was drinking with Larry Hama. I’ve never even seen a GI JOE. Couldn’t tell you what they look like if you paid me. I know nothing about GI JOE. It is meaningless in my world.
Excellent, Sam said. Just the guy we need.
It was hard not to notice, at this point, that Sam Register is crazier than a shithouse rat. Therefore I decided to take the job.
