My creeping dread: the new G.I. Joe movie

Some interesting bits in this new trailer for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

Seeing Christopher Eccelson from Doctor Who as Destro is going to be kind of creepy.

But I still think it's going to be a train wreck.

The revelation that they're outfitting the Joes with what seems suspiciously close to Iron Man armor does not bode well.

I think G.I. Joe Resolute, the new webisode series by comics writer Warren Ellis, does a much better job revamping this property -- which, let's face it, is a little hard to revamp without hacking out massive chunks that make no sense or are just plain embarrassing when you're not eight years old.
