Nerd Up

Wide Right, Wide Right

LOS ANGELES – It’s one of the most shrouded summer movie mysteries: What will villain Cobra Commander look like in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt , who stars as the masked baddie in the film, isn’t giving away any details. But the 28-year-old actor says the character’s look was the main reason he signed on for the role.

Gordon-Levitt says his reaction to the drawings and designs for the character was: “Oh wow, I get to be that guy? Fantastic. Sign me up. Please. Thank you.”

“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” based on the popular toy line, will be in theaters Aug. 7.

They should have got John Lithgow to be Zartan, or at least this dude. Please, Thank you

All episodes, including the finale, will be available to view online after this airing.

Mike Patton (Faith No More, Lovage) covers Ennio! If you look under the “Up” in our masthead, you will see a picture of the OST god, Mr. Ennio Morricone.  “Danger: Diobolik” has always been one of my favourite scores, it had this errie vibe with a lot of swanky “Blow Up” thrown into the mix. This is official nerd up anthem for April!

“En garde, i’ll let you try my wu-tang style”… he’s nice, but can dude cut hair?
