The Blot’s been ragging on G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra ever since I saw the very first photo of Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander. The movie’s teaser trailer didn’t do much to help put my mind at ease, but then yesterday I saw G.I. Joe’s first official full length movie trailer. Now I’m not saying Rise of Cobra is going to be great (or even good for that matter), but I can now at least see it has the potential to be a legit summer blockbuster and fill the need many of us have for some mindless entertainment with lots of action and explosions.
Do you know what I liked most about this new G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra trailer? There wasn’t a single scene featuring Cobra Commander. My recommendation to G.I. Joe director Stephen Sommers, focus more on Destro and the Baroness and cut Cobra Commander’s screen time in half. Even without the mask, Christopher Eccleston seems to exude Destro’s confidence and bravado. So thankfully that's one less concern I have to worry about. I am now trying to be cautiously optimistic, but I still have serious concerns that this film will end up a huge flop. The Blot's waited 25 years for the first ever live action adaptation of my all time favorite toy line and I really hope Hasbro and Paramount don’t screw it up!
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra deploys into theaters on Friday, August 7th, 2009.

How I Met Your Mother
While The Blot really, really wants to talk about last night’s surprise ending to How I Met Your Mother, I know there are probably a lot of people out there who still haven’t seen it yet (aren’t DVRs great?). In order not to spoil the ending to “Right Place Right Time,” The Blot will instead talk about my brand new How I Met Your Mother Barney Stinson talking bobble head!
If you were following The Blot on Twitter at Twitter.com/TheBlotSays (hint, hint) you would have known that @CBSTweet, CBS’s official Twitter page, was giving away free HIMYM Barney Stinson talking bobble heads to the first 500 people to send them an email with their name and address. Yup, all it took was a simple email to get the bobble head you see above. A free How I Met Your Mother bobble head would have been cool enough, but with the click of a button the lil’ suited up Barney bobble head shouts out one of three awesome sayings. I’d share those sayings with all of you, but I don’t want to make you even more jealous than you already are!
I have no clue if CBS has given out all 500 of the Barney Stinson talking bobble heads it allotted for this giveaway, but if you want one it couldn’t hurt emailing media.intern@cbs.com to see if they have any more. Make sure to include your name and address in the email, and who knows, you too may be the proud owner of a brand new How I Met Your Mother Barney Stinson talking bobble head.
