Re: G.I. JOE: Rise of the Cobra---November 3rd
I'm not completely against the "Digital Copy". I just wish I didn't have to pay for it. It should be free! I hate what Fox and Lionsgate are doing: charging $34.99 msrp (about $25 retail) for a "Two-Disc Digital Copy Special Edition" when A.) its technically a one disc release, B.) once you extract the digital copy, the disc is pretty much useless, and C.) the digital copy expires after 1 year so its bound to become a coaster. And its just a waste of plastic. I love what Universal did with Hellboy II, Incredible Hulk, Wanted and the Fast and Furious double-dips: the digital copy is free and you get your money's worth! Simple as that.

I got the 1 disker today. I really don't understand why people would buy the 2-disker for some puny extras for an extra 6 dollars...
So I expected to hear some answers to the movie screw-ups in the director/producer commentary. This is what I mainly heard: excuses, excuses, excuses...
1. The movie was rushed
2. There was a writing strike so the writing had to suffer
3. the studios wanted Snake Eyes to not wear a mask (so I'm assuming the mouth on his mask was the studio/director compromise.
4. Digital Domain was praised for their "fantastic special effects", but Sommers was criticizing so many CGI effects throughout the movie, blaming "the rush".
5. The producer literally said that he hated the Cobra Commander voice in the cartoon (wtf?), so that's why they changed the voice.
6. No one said shit about Cobra Commander's looks.
7. The only thing interesting that I learned was that David Murray couldn't play the main Destro role due to immigration problems....
8. Stephen Sommers is an idiot after listening to him - he's at McG level now.
