Movies: why we love them

Thank you Florence, for inviting me to watch G.I Joe with you!

Spoiler!:

G.I. Joe is at first, to me, quite cliched. I mean, who builts nanobots that can destroy the world, but programs them to not stop? Oh well, this is what makes stuff more interesting, anyway.
What strikes me the most is that G.I Joe has two of every scene. Really! And G.I Joe is a lot liek Star Wars. Except minus light sabers and a couple of droids, and The Force. Oh! andwho knew you can put kung-fu in a Sci-fi movie? =D So for me, G.I Joe is like a rainbow smoothie blend of Martial-arts, cutting-edge technology, explosions, deformed faces, femme fatales, underwater forts, and the destruction of a historical monument. (like Bruce Lee, Mission Impossible, Catwoman, Superman, The Day The Earth Stood Still, X-Men, and Ironman all together. IT'S MINDBLOWING!)

Things you can learn from G.I. Joe:
1. When you're a femme fatale and you're with your ninja-with-a-grudge pal, it is possible, taht after you've been done with a mission, to have a nuclear-powered jet to fetch you, most likely to be conveniently hovering outside a building which you are going to jump from.
2. Accelarators are awesome.
3. You can never die after being hit by a speed train, especially if you're in a car, and you get shot up ten feet in the air.
4. All women who work for a secret militia look like models.
5. After taking over someone's identity, and killing them, whistling is a natural thing to do.
6. After surviving a bomb with a crazed scientist, learn all his secrets and research, and become a mad scientist yourself, and then imitate darth vader and the chansellor by changing both you and your boss into metal-headed villains. Then laugh evilly.
7.Accelarators are awesome.
8. The floor in front of you is booby trapped. Anything bigger than a quarter on it and it gets zapped. What do you do? Get on your fingers and walk across with them.
9. Double-bubble makes you think clearer, especially if you're going into battle.
10. Take a vow of silence when your sensei dies. Then try holding on to it. For 20 years. (or so)
11. People get stabbed in the back often.

That concludes some of G.I Joe's scenes! The car chase/ Accelarator scene is just beautiful, make sure to watch that part! ( Though the bombing scenes are nice too. Lovely shots.)

Once again, thank you, Florence, for inviting me.
