Green Lantern

[Drewbacca]

I think Green Lantern offers a really unique perspective and opportunity for the people behind the scenes to create a new and interesting alien / cosmic story. Sometimes in movies like ET and War of the World's the aliens are interesting enough that you'd like to see some of their worlds, too. But there's no real vehicle for a human to be in space. The ring solves that issue. If Hal is made to just be at the right place at the right time when he accepts the ring the story could unfold from his perspective really neatly. If they shoot the initial scene of discovering the alien crash like an ET (loads of suspense and wonder) the movie could appeal to everybody quite easily.

Somehow I don't think they're going to be putting that much thought in to it, and it will probably end up being generic summer blockbuster action movie #3.

Personally, I think there's a zero chance the DP movie will ever get made now (for such a minor character you gotta strike while the iron is hot), which is probably for the best considering how bad the Wolvie movie ruined him.

The Wolvie movie ruined everything.

[Dolemite]

Pretty much, yeah. We really need an hard R-rated Wolvie movie where he just goes apeshit and kills everyone. But that'll never happen 'cause they need the action figures for Walmart.

Back to Green Lantern- I have no expectations for this movie. Unless they're given a major overhaul during filming, GL's powers/weaknesses are just too goofy to be taken seriously. I mean, if GL starts punching people with a giant disembodied green fist I'm just gonna LOL till I pee. If they do go that route then maybe they can have the fucking Wonder Twins cameo as an ice bucket and water or some shit.

[Drewbacca]

I would laugh if we saw a giant fist come out of the ring and punch niggers in the face.

Not only will there be a giant fist, but there most certainly will be some cheesy "oh noes, the color yellow" shit too. There will not be, however, a Corp, Killawog, or any alien other than Sinestro, who they will likely make human anyhow.

Since they don't want to start big for the first movie in a likely trilogy, I have a suggestion for the first villain: dude in a charlie brown shirt wielding a banana.

They can do better than that-

I cant wait to see my friends reaction when he hears about this. Green Lantern is one of his favorite super heroes.

Im not really sure how they could pull this off without making it really bad. My expectations for it are low, but hey; it could work.

I hope Sinestro defeats GL by peeing on him.
