You - Obey The FIST!

Ok, well, based upon the feedback I'm getting regarding the previous post about Green Lantern, I guess I should go ahead and give a full pre-release review of the said movie. This is just what I and a few close friends have surmised about this movie based on (A. Our knowledge of Green Lantern comics, and (B. The official trailers, and (C. How we feel about the actors/actresses. Ok, read on, you Klingon:

Ok, so right off the bat I'm seeing a problem with this movie. In the comics, Hal Jordan was a respectable man, but the opening part of the trailer shows him being exceptionally unhospitable to his "lady friend" from the night before, whom he obviously has no intention of keeping, seeing as how Blake Lively is supposed to be his love interest in the film. How shallow.
Speaking of Ms. Lively, she is WAAY hot. Just saying. Moving on.
The alien who gives Hal the ring, Abin Sur, tells him to "protect our universe." What bugs me about this is that Superman is kinda already on that job, right? Like, I know he's mainly involved in protecting the earth, but he fights baddies in space too. And Supe's is like the Boss in the DC universe. That automatically renders Green Lantern invalid. This movie is losing.
The visuals in this movie are really good, I mean, everything looks pretty cool. But I expect that because CGI has been a part of movies for so long now that saying "well the graphics are good" is like saying "well boats float pretty good in water." Its just something you expect and have come to rely on.

That having been said, I have to comment about the costume: Its gay looking. It looks like he was painted in different shades of green then dusted with green glitter. Its laziness really. A real costume probably looked hokey on screen, so the art director probably just said "eff it - just put him in a green unitard and we'll make it digital." Batman has a real costume. Superman had a real costume too. Even the Marvel characters here of late have real costumes (i.e. Spiderman, X-Men, Iron Man....wait, scratch that last one...) It just seems lazy to me is all.
Now I could be totally wrong here. The movie could come out and totally blow my mind. But I'm not expecting anything fantastic about Mr. Lantern, especially since they have funnyman Ryan Reynolds starring. Yeah, THAT Ryan Reynolds, the one who ruined Deadpool. Dont even get me started on that one.

Anywho, thats my pre-release review of it all, which is subject to change. Look for my official review of Green Lantern sometime after its official release, or sometime after I feel like it.
If you really want a good one, just wait til I review the Captain America movie. Oh Holy Lord, that movie is going to be such a steamy pile. I cannot even wait for an official trailer. You just wait.
Til then, this has been an entry.

One Day, Ill Live On The Moon...

Hey, I just want to check in and make sure this thing still works. Dont get your feathers ruffled, I dont have anuthing interesting to post, not yet anyway.
Except that I think the Green Lantern movie looks like its gonna suck, mainly cause I personally dont care about it. But, if Hal Jordan ends up actually using the ring to make a giant fist to pound someone into the ground, I will be surprised and retract my earlier comment. Otherwise, Green Lantern is a joke.
Basically thats all. Hope this wasnt as big a waste of time as it was mine.

New Avatar TV Show?!?!?

Yes, you read that right: there is going to be a new Avatar tv show! I almost crapped when i read that myself, but guess what? I has pictures!!
First off, the name (for right now, because its still in development) is "Avatar: The Legend of Korra." Oooooo, sounds promising, right? Evidently it will follow Korra, one of the great-grandchildren of Aang, the main character of the original show, and his wife Katara, also from the original show. She is now the new Avatar, from a waterbending tribe from the looks of it. It takes place 60 or 70 years after the original.


So this first picture is of the main character, Korra, standing on a...thing, looking out at Republic City, as its called. The story is that the city, while being a veritable melting pot for all nations and tribes and people, has become overrun by crime and stuff. My guess is that Korra becomes like a Batman type figure in the city, all while learning that shes the new Avatar and coming to grips with all that jazz. But there has to be more to it than that, so here hoping. I have another picture, but im not sure it is an official picture from the actual show, but it looks like it could be.


It looks like Korra is meeting Aang, long after hes dead, while hes a spirit. Like i said, could be just a fan made picture, or maybe it could be real, not sure. But it sounds like it could be a solid show, just like the first one.
All in all, im excited. That show and the world it created for itself is waay too cool to just let die with the original. Besides, with the failure that was the movie and because it was such a slap in the face so to speak, there has to be SOMEthing to lessen the pain from that disaster. So i guess us fans of the show can take comfort that M. Night Shaymalan didnt completely kill our beloved Avatar.
Now for the bad news: the release date for the show has been set for late 2011. Im talkin like November 2011. Thats the only info i could find about its release. But hey, if thats the ONLY bad thing, then im okay with that. I can be patient.
Heres hoping that 2011 will surprise us all with this new incarnation (or REincarnation haha! Get it?) of the series and be as awesome as the first.
