newnumber6So, nothing was on TV and was flipping channels and came across, on YTV, 'GI Joe: The Movie!'. I started watching it.
First, it was vaguely amusing just from the nostalgia factor and the fact that I was seeing a bunch of characters some I couldn't even remember, but others of which I just put up the action figures of on top of the doorframe of my closet (which is oddly wide), posed in a little tableau of action (for those familiar, Jinx and the Baroness are duking it out while... uhm... someone else is trying to help Hitler the Astronaut (I don't know his real name, but that's what he looks like to me), who is hanging from the 'cliff edge' by his arms.)
Anyway, there were other things that came back to me that I hadn't really recalled before, like the amount of SF (right now they're facing off against a giant killer plant, and people are being mutated into actual snake people... including Cobra Commander.)
The other thing I completely blocked out? Cobra's battlecry. "Cobra-LALALALALALALA!"
Man, they are the lamest terrorist organisation ever.
I don't think I was aware of that as a kid, but now I know.
And knowing is half the battle.
