    In reply to Rorschach is Not Sinestro... Yet
    No, He`s all wrong for the part ,sinestro is tall ,smart and very arogant (excuse the misspell).

    I know that Jackie Earle Harley is good actor , he made a great Rorschach , despite the rest of the movie . But I think the part is simply wrong for him . #greenlantern

    Haley's definitely got the insane-looking skull for Sinestro. #greenlantern

    @Starwatcher: I dunno, I really think Sinestro needs an English accent. Which I realize is odd, because he's an alien, but whatever. #greenlantern

    Oh, and Guy Gardner? Mr. Bruce Campbell (or, alternatively, if he's too old, Will Arnett) #greenlantern

    @Wookie1972: Very good choices, but I think Bruce would be a much better Guy Gardner, Will Arnett is too...wiry. I think Bruce would fill out the roll better, literally. #greenlantern

    @Guitaratomik: I thought Gardner was around the same age as Hal, maybe even a little older. He became a GL later, but I thought he seemed a little older. Arnett is at most a few years older than Reynolds. #greenlantern

    In reply to Rorschach is Not Sinestro... Yet
    Yeah, as much as I love JEH, I really don't think he'd make a good Sinestro. Sinestro needs to be more regal and....taller. I've heard both Hugo Weaving and Paul Bettany thrown around as ideas from fans and I think those choices fit much better. You could probably do better than that even. #greenlantern

    @Guitaratomik: Considering that the model for Sinestro was David Niven, I think you're closer with Weaving or Bettany than Haley. My first thought was Guy Pearce (also for the Riddler), but another that comes to mind is Hugh Laurie (possibly a little too old). #greenlantern

    @Wookie1972: I think Sinestro should be a bit older than Hal. He should be more a father figure than a brother so Hugh Laurie would actually be pretty interesting. #greenlantern

    @GreyHammer: See below - I'd accidentally posted a story Meredith had already posted earlier this week, so figured everyone'd prefer something they hadn't already read.

    I do, however, like the idea of me as ninja. ;) #greenlantern

    you forgot to say X-Men origins is a MUST NOT WATCH film. I don't care if watchmen comes out on schedule. Fox shoud be punished.

    In my opinion, this has to be one of the best all-around articles you guys have posted. I have seen almost all the trailers, previews and "first glimpse" stuff you guys have put out on these films but this sums them all up in a really nice package. Thanks!

    I work at the design firm that's handling some of the tie-in merchandise for Monsters Vs. Aliens and I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that the film has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Rex Havoc and the Asskickers of the Fantastic. I'd heard the film described as a Rex Havoc movie and almost jumped out of my skin upon hearing it since the Rex Havoc stories are some of my favorite comics of all time (there were four of them and they ran in Warren Publications' 1984 magazine), but upon seeing the material being worked on here at the design studio it's clear it ain't Rex Havoc. Is the film company still promoting it as such?

    @Steve Bunche: Our former writer, Kevin Kelly, was the one who was sure it was a Rex Havoc movie... aren't some of these characters from the Rex Havoc comic? Maybe we just got misinformed. I'm seeing Jeffrey Katzenberg present some footage from the movie in a week or so, and I want to ask him about it.

    Ugh.


    I like the concept of "The Box," but Kelly's Southland Tales was the first movie to make me actually shake with anger. That movie was so epic in its shittiness that I have to spit whenever I hear the name.


    Ok, that was overdramtic, I admit. But I fucking hate that movie.

    And again the new UNDERWORLD movie gets snubbed?


    I'd claim werewolf discrimination, but THE WOLFMAN and NEW MOON both got listed.


    What have you folks got against UNDERWORLD?

    @MinervaAlpaca: Isn't it set during the middle ages? It's a prequel, right? We talked about it the other day and decided it doesn't quite fit in with the idea of "urban fantasy or fantasy that takes place in the present day." Arbitrary, I know, but there you have it.
