Keith, you're *not* alone there. In another of my forums, a fellow anime fan posted a link to what he thought was a trailer for the new "G-Force" movie, apparently without looking at the trailer. I was the first in the group to watch it, and seeing talking hamsters was a shock to the system. (For the record, there *is* an anime Gatchaman movie rolling out soon. There are some cool pics previewed at io9, but the site appears to be on vacation, so I can't link to them.

Joe I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover G.I. Joe existed over twenty years before Hasbro remade him as a literal boy-toy. Shoot, the movie "The Story of G.I. Joe," starring Robert Mitchum and Burgess Meredith, came out in 1945, a full eighteen years before Hasbro created the "11 1/2 inch realistic action figures" "Rocky" and "Ace."
