Sgt. Rock

Recap and Review:
I am a comic book collector, or I was. At one time I tried to collect all the comics. It wasn't as difficult as it seemed as I owned a comic store at the time. Before that I did just war comics. And the best there was came from DC. All Marvel had was Fury which was a pale comparison to Sgt. Rock of Easy Co.

How I got my start is an interesting story. When I had my tonsils out in 5th grade, a friend of mine whose father owned the only drug store in Glasgow gave me some comics as a gift. One of them was a Sgt Rock comic. From then on I was hooked. Unknown Soldier. the Haunted Tank, Weird War and others all started to stack up. At the time I collected them as I loved reading and re-reading them. And then as a very young writer I got my ideas from them and from the Monogram model kits. I remember writing one story on my typewriter and taping the pages together. It was very long continuous roll of paper. But I am getting off topic.

I heard they are going to make a Sgt. Rock movie in 2012 but hes going to be in outer space????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ALL ABOUT??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Ok, I am more pissed off at this than even thinking there are going to be 2 Avatar sequels.

Rock and Easy Company are WWII. Period. Rock has done a few time travels, or has he? Maybe they were dreams or not. But it was ALWAYS WWII. I could even take Billy Bob Thorton as Rock. I am just glad they didn't have Arnold as him. Rock was big yes; Bulldozer was bigger. He came from Pennsylvania and used to work in a steel mill. Then he joined the Army. I know his history and back story and SO HELP ME...I KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE THAT AND THAT PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH!!!

Ok, I get that they changed Iron Man's story to something modern, i get it. I just remember how his origins were really. the same with Green Lantern. This just proves to me that Hollywood would screw up a wet dream. If they kept the origins correct, you would have a ton of fans flock there. I guess I will look at this movie like the new Star Trek movie.. set in another universe that has no bearing on the real origins. But then Hollywood and a lot them there, like the Liberals they are, like to re-write history. OMG I am pissed. Pissed. Pissed. Pissed.
