Goddammit. Now I really have to see G.I. Joe. At the last minute but hopefully not at great expense the role of Destro has been recast. Exeunt David Murray, the thesp who either couldn’t get a work visa or forgot he had to be on tour with Iron Maiden. Enter Christopher Eccleston.
Guess we’ll see Destro with his mask off. Guess the State Department is full of Dr. Who and Heroes fans. (The latter explains a lot.) Guess Eccleston won’t be any more successful than Quaid or the rest of the cast at mitigating the sheer stupidity that we can expect from the film.
But hey, this guy can do batshit crazy (see the film twice referenced in title and image) and creepy military (28 Days Later…) as well as simple mindbent oddness, as evidenced by Dr. Who. I love the guy, I really do, and I’m glad he’s getting a paycheck and an action figure. (Maybe it’ll be better than this one.)

If only all Chewers enjoyed your blonde mane'd Dave Murray reference as much as I did, Rusty.
Thanxxxx
You know the inevitable stupidity of this movie keeps being mentioned as a negative and yet that stupidity is the only reason I plan on seeing GIJoe and if the film is entertaining at all the sheer retardness of it all will be why.
Never, ever should have left Doctor Who. But fuck it, if he shreds like Dave Murray we might have a movie here.
