Everyone knows I have a thing for Ray Park. Most of his films, he's either in sfx makeup or wearing a mask, and we never really see much of him. Except for one called "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever". Only the movie was a trainwreck.



I'm sorry, but the fact it was directed by some guy named KAOS doesn't fill me with hope. (Hmm, it could just be a pseudonym for Michael Bay, with the amount of explosions...) Fortunately, you can find the movie on YouTube, as it just doesn't look like something worth paying for. (Much like "Gone in 60 Seconds" which had another Sommersverse actor in an action film with a minimal plot.)

Again, as much as I like him, this was just not...good. Unfortunately, this is how I'm feeling about that "King of Fighters" movie he's in...

Now I'm REALLY hoping to see a scene in "G.I. JOE" where he takes that mask off and we see him post-reconstructive surgery, looking ruggedly handsome. (Of course, I'm thinking of that part in "Kodona" where Sana makes Rei wear sunglasses because he's hot, and she doesn't want anyone to take him away from her...although I don't think I'd do anything THAT crazy with a hot boy...)

Oh yeah, I am going to see the Harry Potter exhibit tomorrow at MSI. :) Yays. (Hopefully I won't be lax with the pics.)

I highly doubt it, because not only would every GI Joe fan scream in fury, but I doubt Park would allow it either (they wanted him to have Snake Eyes talk, and he refused knowing the character never does).

I dunno, considering they changed a LOT of things...take the vow of silence, for example. Instead of being tossed a grenade in the face.

BUT IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE COMICS. Pre and post.

Although it might have to wait until a sequel.

I am a HUGE fan of Ray Park (see the hundreds of references to him in my journal) - I actually own a copy of 'Ecks vs Sever' which is totally worth having just to actually see and hear him. I don't think I paid more than $10 for it on ebay.

Going to see GI Joe Saturday morning. :) Alas, I don't think he takes the mask off.

I so figured that. Although I will be seeing him maskless on that day as I'm going to Chicago Comic-Con. :D
