GI Joe: The Fall Of Standards
When I was eight, we moved to the US for a year's cultural exchange. One of the first things I got was Snake-Eyes from the very first run of 3 3/4" GI Joe figures. Still have him. I got an assortment of the toys and a fair old run of the comics as well.
So seeing The Rise Of Cobra was a pretty childhood-kicking experience, even after two years' warning and not paying for it.
And pretty recent-things-I-like kicking as well, with Christopher Eccleston (and his Scottish accent - oh, and apparently our language is called Celtic) and Joseph Gordon Levitt as the villains, and the director of The Mummy proving once again that his work is a perfect inverse of budget and quality, rubbing it in by having Brandan Fraser in one scene while the admittedly-convincingly-piece-of-plastic Channing Tatum stars in what appears to be a joke-removal live-action remake of Team America.
Oh, and let's not start on the thing with the Baroness.
