I'm just being a d!ck about the homosexual thing (like always) and my issue with Tatum is strickly on a cosmetic level with regards to MY interpretation of the character Conrad Hauser (DUKE) and what this less than rugged, tough and MAN-like actor brings to the table in ability to bring that to life for us, on the big screen. POOR selection..IMHO!Oh, well that's good. For a moment I thought you were using "homosexual" as an insult. @grumpy@
I was and am!
What part of being a "d!ck" did you not get?
I know most of us are adults who play with toys, but I like to think we're all mature enough to able express our dislike for one or two people without slighting an entire group of people... especially given that the ones we're expressing dislike for will never read our comments, but members of the slighted group likely will.You have your lifestyle and I have my objections to it, and in the end we should ALL be "free to be you and me"...right? People get insulted for a ton of various life choices and other such reasons, like over a religious/non-religious choice, a political choice, a choice of reading material, movies, toys, comic books, sports teams, music likes, appetites, food choices, education choices, ideals, opinions, attitudes, convictions, life changing decisions, to be or not to be..etc..etc.. etc...
I have a friend that's cheating on his wife and kids, and while I disagree with his sexual choices and extras...he's my friend! I have several gay friends, and while I hold an objectionable opinion on the lifestyle, they're still my friends. My gay friends have a friend that holds an objectionable opinion to their lifestyle, yet he's STILL they're FRIEND!
Seems pretty "mature" and "adult" to me...what's your problem?
Too bad being gay isn't a "lifestyle" but what they are born with. If you object to watching sissy TV like American idol or Prancing with the stars, listening to show tunes, being a fashion victim and dancing to techo music at da club. Then that is fine, I object to that too, lol. Because that is a lifestyle. But if you mean "lifestyle" as being gay itself then you are a simple one. But then again you have described yourself as being "low class" recently.
The internet hates you.That's gay!

A lot of people that see a 50 year old man collecting and/or playing with plastic toy men might say the same thing.

The use of a descriptor of any group of people as an insult demeans that entire group of people, not just the person you apply it to. When that descriptor can't even apply to the person you're insulting even under normal circumstances, it's even more demeaning to the group.
Or to put it more bluntly: my problem is that you didn't insult Channing Tatum, as the term doesn't apply. You insulted gay people, who the term does apply to, by using "homosexual" as a derogatory term. That's not "mature" or "adult", that's just rude.
Yeah, you admitted to that... but it doesn't work. Calling yourself a name while you laugh about it doesn't excuse or absolve it. That sort of defense implies that you not only think it's okay, but that you're going to continue to do it (especially since you flat-out said so) and think that no one can or should get upset, because hey, you admitted to being a jerk, and that's part-and parcel, right? And the "it's okay because some of my best friends..." stuff has been a tired excuse for literally decades.
Ironically, you're trying to insult a guy for not being "manly" enough, but you seem unwilling to man up and be responsible for the things you say and do, and the effect it has on others. You want others to buy that's what you're doing, but it appears more like a transparent CYA attempt to prove you shouldn't be held accountable.
It's not even like I'm saying you shouldn't insult the guy. I'm just saying that you should properly target HIM. If you'd done that in the first place, it's much less likely that anyone would have questioned it, or that you'd be defending it multiple times.

I've never been that big into movie toys, so the actual movie looks don't hold that much interest for me. I can totally see picking up some of the armored people to use in various customs, but only if they go on sale. At full price, I could see popping for a few of the not-in-25th characters, like Heavy Duty, Cover Girl, and Ice-Viper... but a lot of that's going to depend on how they look once I see them in hand. Cover Girl looks pretty awful, IMO.
Sgt. Stone is a nice little bone to Extreme/S6 fans though. Very curious to see if he's in the movie, or just some random parts reuse with an unused head they had lying around.
Oh, and somewhat off topic...Channing Tatum's engaged to his co-star from one of those Step Up movies. Sooooo...I mean...can't tell you if he's into guys or not, but at least I can tell you for sure he's digging the female species, too, for what that might be worth.I'm just being a d!ck about the homosexual thing (like always) and my issue with Tatum is strickly on a cosmetic level with regards to MY interpretation of the character Conrad Hauser (DUKE) and what this less than rugged, tough and MAN-like actor brings to the table in ability to bring that to life for us, on the big screen.

....aaand, contradicting what I just said.......... I just took a second look at that bottom middle picture. Man.........that is tough to picture Duke.....I have to turn away now.
My Duke:Hollywood's Duke:
Yeah, yeah, yeah....and Heath Ledger played a gay cowboy once. How did that Joker roll work out for him?
I'm not saying it's easy to picture the hero of GI Joe in pretty boy underwear adds but it's why they're called actors. Hopefully he can act. I don't KNOW for sure if he can, mind you, but I hold out hope on that front. Hawk, Duke, Scarlett, and SE seem to be the least hateable casting choices so far, IMO.
The internet hates you.
That's gay!
