The First Totally Inconsequential Look at G.I. Joe 2
Entertainment Tonight went behind the scenes of G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation last night to produce one of their maddeningly awful, totally uninformative looks at movies we’d genuinely like to know something about. Admittedly, this one is less awful than most of the ET clips I’ve run on TR in the past, but lord, it isn’t good. At least nothing about G.I. Joe 2 from this clip looks necessarily awful; The Rock is a great addition to the cast, everyone seems to be using guns instead of “speedsuits” and the boat looks like something G.I. Joe would actually use. Try to focus on that when clip inevitably turns to the subject of Justin Bieber. (Via ToyNewsI)
