Fashion Accessory or Social Handicapper?

When I go out, I spend a lot of time making observations about people, so that I can share with you, our loyal readers.

Last weekend, while nodding my head to the music, I had one such revelation.

I am a firm believer that there are two kinds of people in every nightclub that I’ve ever found myself in. There are people who go to be seen and those who go to be met. Now there are many tell-tale signs of what type a given person is, but in my humble opinion, the most obvious indicator is the act of wearing sunglasses indoors at night.

Allow me to explain… Beside the obvious impairing of vision and generally looking like a douche-nozzle (because no one truly needs sunglasses in a dark-ass club), more subtly the be-speckled club-goer denies him/herself of the all important, yet oft overlooked eye contact.

GI Joe Movie Detail and Pics

If seeing Marlon Wayans in full battle gear doesn’t disturb you just a little bit, then I don’t know what will. What we have here is the youngest Wayans brother in full costume as Ripcord for the upcoming GI Joe motion picture. I’m looking at the cast list on IMDb for the other black characters and I see Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje from Oz playing Heavy Duty, but don’t see where anyone’s playing Roadblock (which is cool, because I hate Roadblock).

According to Tyler Durden:

…an exclusive look at the cast of next summers “G.I. Joe”, starring Rachel Nichols as Scarlett, Channing Tatum as Duke, Karolina Korkova as Cover Girl, Marlon Wayans as Ripcord, Byung-hun Lee as Storm Shadow, Sienna Miller as The Baroness, Ray Park as Snake Eyes, and Dennis Quaid as Hawk.

Pictures of Ray Park as Snake Eyes have been floating around the web for a few weeks and I have to say, that’s one bad-ass looking ninja! And we’ve seen Park’s work as Darth Maul in Star Wars:Ep 1, so we know the choreography will be EPIC. But seeing the rest of the cast in the X-Men meets the Matrix black rubber suits, has dampened my enthusiasm a bit. Especially, the goofy looking, white suited Storm Shadow.
