Even the ‘G.I. Joe’ Marketing Sucks
Yesterday Cinematical posted the Slurpee straws from ‘G.I. Joe’ and the tagline of “Finally! Proof That ‘G.I. Joe’ Will Suck” and then later in the afternoon I was pumping gas at 7/11 and came across this super lame promo for ‘G.I. Joe’.
I really really want to like this movie but this stuff is making me detest it. You can see the straws below:
What do you guys think about this? Make you want to see it more or less now?
Man, these guys are good! How did they know offering me tiny little GI Joe figures with Slurpee straws shoved up their butts would make we want to see this movie?
This movie is going to be terrible. The only reason I will see it is to write a review for it. Terrible trailer, terrible story, has nothing to do with GI Joe, I can't believe they are butchering this so badly.
Despite the fact that I feel much the same way about this film before seeing it as I did after seeing 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,' I think I'm going to have to buy a Snake Eyes Slurpee. Then I will proudly adorn my Snake Eyes straw on my mantel next to my Han Solo figure and Michael Myers mask. Tiny, masked Ray Park will be part of my collection.
And you guy think TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN is bad? You haven't seen anything yet.
They had a GI Joe helicopter flying around the beach yesterday droping a rope, and some GI Joe Silohuette got half way down the rope and then kept flying along the beach…it was definitely awesome (for 4 year olds)
