The Justice Brothers Rev. Al & Rev. Jesse are here race baiting already. That should be a black man, blah, blah, blah. Stuff it up your ass Shaka Zulu.
Original 'Green Lantern' was a charactr from the 1940's -- his ring was magical and could not affect anything made of wood.
The 'modern' Green Lantern -- whom the movie is going to be based on -- was created around 1960. Hal Jordan's a airplane test pilot who receives a ring from a dying alien. The ring can basically create anything that the wielder thinks of -- so if he's fighting a giant spider, the Green Lantern could conjure up a bigger shoe to stomp it.
The Green Lanterns -- there's a ton of them -- are basically intergalatic police.
The ring has a defect in it that causes it to fail against anything yellow.
During various storylines in the comics, when Jordan was hurt, on a space mission, 'dead', getting his pipes cleaned, etc -- there's been others to take his place, including John Stewart, an African American. For cultural diversity, he was the Lantern chosen for the Justice League cartoon a few years back. He's still very much around and active, but he's not the primary Green Lantern.
And now, I will remove the geek hat and put on the cap of shame.
And it begins...the comic book nerds arguing about authenticity of some shitty popcorn movie. You can set your watch to it.
The original Green Lantern was a 13-year-old Guatemalan girl who was allergic to cats. She defeated bag guys with her toxic taco farts. We must boycott this movie due to its lack of authenticity. Stan Lee is convulsing in his grave.
Unless he has a sex video come out where he is shtupping his wife in every position imaginable I ain't interested in seeing a Ryan Reynolds film. Just interested in seeing his wife shtupping on film, that is, not him.
Never heard of Green Lantern until press about the movie recently, but shit, I heard they had Justin Timberlake in their top three picks. Good thing they came to their goddamned senses about that little gaywad. We ladies need a reason to see movies like this, and, well, Reynolds helps.
Ryan Reynolds could star in a movie where he's just standing there naked and looking around for two hours straight and it'd sell out. Because I'll buy all the tickets.
Don't care whether he's black or not, but frankly I don't find it very impressive that he can be scared off by yellow. At least kryptonite sounds impressive and isn't available in children's crayon boxes.
so much hate in all the posts on this site--wow! Ryan Reynolds is a much better choice than Justin Timberlake. I can't believe he was even in the running.
#13- What #26 said Stan Lee is still alive. Now they're really digging deep for Superheros can't do wood and is afraid of yellow aliens didn't give him much to work with. Good thing the internet wasn't around then he'd be MIA trapped in a wooden yellow box somewhere. HAhaha I crack you up sometimes. FUCKU!

There were numerous Green Lanterns. One of them, Hal Jordan,whom this movie is about, was not black.

They'd better not fuck up this movie...make it similar to Iron Man.

GL wasn't a Marvel character. He was part of the DC universe.

I like Reynolds after "Proposal". Wish him well.

I get the feeling Todd doesn't like superhero movies.

This will be one of the best applications of cgi ever... big green see through things... it doesn't need to look real at all.

Reynolds can't act for beans.

Those pictures are of Ryan Reynolds?!?! They look nothing like him. What has that dimwitted, self-important whore done to him?
By Can't have one without the other, on July 12, 2009 18:58:40
They already have to cut the scene out where he hoses down the fire with a giant green penis.

Umm, if I'm not mistaken, Stan Lee is very much alive.

I agree #30. I personally am holding out for "The Bugaloos" movie. At least they did not choose Will Smith.

Ryan Reynolds is hot. Wonder if he has a big cock? **staring off into space dreamily**
By anonymous, on July 14, 2009 04:05:11
I agree, He better NOT fuck this up!
I've had to lower my expectations from T.W./D.C.
after Small-ville and the Last "Superman" movie.
