Fran over at Hisstank.com has provided us with the first look of Ray Park as SNAKE EYES in the upcoming Stephen Sommer’s big screen live-action adaptation of “G.I. Joe.”
The second pic was released on the USA today website. I am pretty stoked about the movie now knowing that the very same man that played Darth Maul, the only redeemable thing about The Phantom Menace, is going to be behind the mask of one of the most loved characters in the GI Joe universe.

Chrysler has formally unveiled the full 2009 Dodge Challenger range here at the New York Auto Show. Jim Press gamely handled a few technical snafus that plagued one of the skits going on behind him as he re-introduced the the Challenger SRT8, pulled the wraps off the Challenger R/T and showed us the budget-minded Challenger SE for the first time.
The Red Monkey: "I have been waiting for this car ever since they revealed it over two years ago. I have a Dodge Ram HEMI and the new Ram HEMI had 370 HP opposed to 345. The R/T version of this car with a six speed tremec and 370 HP is mind boggeling and I must have one. This is the only car I have waited over two years for."

I know that this is not a political site but considering the current state of things I thought this was funny since nothing speaks more than inaction and overspending. What ever happened to the fiscal conservative? I thought that Republicans wanted less government? Guess that makes me a Libertarian in thought. Anyway, enjoy this Mad Magazine cover.

So MTV, the channel that used to play music videos, has posted the trailer for Lost Boys two. I must say that I was half heartedly looking forward for this straight to DVD and I will still watch it after having seen this trailer. Every fear I had about this low budget sequel is absolutely true. They could have pulled a good audience for this film if they gave it to a director who could do a half assed good job and some actors who could actually act. It comes accross as some sort of vampire porn the way they read the lines. Oh well, here it is for your viewing "pleasure".
