Off topic: My Facebook review of the new GI Joe movie.

1. It was really loud. Lots of things blow up (including most of London, which suffers a major failure of basic physics when a 3 meter long tungsten/titanium rod traveling at hypersonic speeds manages to do the same damage as a rather large nickel/iron meteor traveling at hypersonic speeds. Kinetic energy equals mass times the velocity squared except in London, where it equals mass times velocity taken to infinity, apparently.)
2. Submachineguns can shoot ninja stars out of the air, and Samurai swords can knock bullets aside from submachineguns. Who knew? Anyway, everyone has machine guns and samurai swords, so lots of stuff gets shot, diced and slashed.
3. Mountains are very dangerous. Because of all the ninjas and machine guns and Samurai swords. Don’t go near mountains.
4. Cobra soldiers are now wearing standard US Army pattern camo fatigues. I guess evil black uniforms are just soooo 1983.
5. The GI Joe team doesn’t need to worry about camo uniforms because they show lots of skin (see picture below). The Rock is an especially egregious offender on this point.
6. The person who put USMC and US Army stuff together on the same uniform should be tarred, feathered and run out of Holly wood.
7. US Apache gunships are still pretty damned nasty and menacing, and kill just about everything they can see. That was about the only thing the movie actually got right.

Loud, brainless and harmless fun.
