A slower week for news doesn’t slow down The Plot Hole because as you know we always keep digging. As such we get energized and peeved in turn with our Damn You, Hell Yes! segment where we’ll cover everything from Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar to some developments on the long-time-coming Deadpool film.

There was also some interesting tidbits that came out of this year’s WonderCon, specifically Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim and we’ll chat all about…

Remember when no one expected there to be one blockbuster live-action G.I. Joe movie? Against all odds, and flying in the face of a good deal of logic, the motion picture wing of Hasbro toys was born and …

The first thing that really grabbed me in the marketing for Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' was the battle sequence featuring ninjas repelling down mountains. Seriously, it looked like the movie Sho Kosugi would make if he had…

Bring on the popcorn, the giant soda, and the rampant 80s nostalgia, it's almost 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' season! I'm so pumped for Jon Chu's sequel to 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' that I can barely stand it.…

One word: ninjas. Two words: ninja showdown. That is precisely what is going down in this new clip from Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee) and Snake Eyes (…

There are so many major blockbusters to look forward to this summer. However, as has been the case in the last few years, the summer season of 2013 really begins this month. One of the big releases in March is Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' As much as I wasn't a fan of the first movie, the marketing for the…

I don't know if it's just the bewitchment of great marketing, but the more I see of Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation,' the more excited I get for its release. In these two new TV spots, Roadblock (Dwayne "The…

Sometimes film viral marketing can be spectacularly lame, and yet there are instances in which you can't help but enjoy the silly perfection of it. Such is the case with this recruitment video, created to celebrate the release of Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' It's obviously meant to resemble the United…

I've heard that there is a four-minute trailer for Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' preceding 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' this weekend, but that would require actually going to see 'Hansel…

I never thought I would find myself anticipating the sequel to 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.' I found Stephen Sommer's 2009 adaptation of the cartoon series/toy line to be too stupid and CG-laden to be as fun as it should have been. But the trailer for …

The summer of 2012 was set to be one of the most jam-packed with blockbusters and epic studio undertakings in years. Largely, this is still the case, but one gargantuan sequel on the roster has hit a major, well, Roadblock. Yesterday it was reported that …

Truth be told, I was hooked by the first trailer for Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' despite the fact that I didn't care for the first film. The sequel seemed slightly grittier, but with action sequences that looked to rival if not exceed those of the original. This latest trailer lends us a little more insight…

Go Joe! Joe certainly does get around, that's for sure. Case in point, we've got a new international poster for Jon Chu's 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' Does this image suggest a two-on-one battle between Storm Shadow (…

The more I watch it, the more the trailer for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' is becoming one of my favorites of the summer movie slate. Of course, I can't assume that the movie will deliver on all the trailer's promises, but if it does, it should be a blast. These recently released images from the Jon Chu-directed…

If my avatar is any indication, I'm of one of many comic book readers who have helped make "Chew" the surprise hit of the year, at least in terms of comics. Writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory's tale of a Cibopathic (having the ability to get psychic readings from anything that one eats) cop who's recruited into the FDA (the most powerful law enforcement agency in this comic's reality) is one of the most original and funny comic books I've… Continue
