I’m a bit of a J-pop/J-rock fan (that’s Japanese pop/rock to those who are out of the loop. Where have you been?!). This was probably influenced by the copious amounts of Japanese cinema and Anime that I like to watch, and the fact that if I lived in Japan, I would probably be considered an Otaku ^_^ (sugoii!).

As you should be well aware by now (unless you’ve been living under a rock or on Christmas Island), the new G.I Joe movie launches this weekend, for the UK anyway. Here’s a little thing about the history of the G.I. Joe franchise for the uninitiated – rather insightful stuff if you ask me, if you’re interested in the origins of the “original” action figure.

This post might help you go ‘ROFL’ or ‘LMAO’, depending on how cool you are.
