    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

    @Wookie1972: I think both of them are too old. Guy Gardner should be one of the younger ones shouldn't he? #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

    @Guitaratomik: Any one of them could pull off the sophistication. Haley... I'm sorry, but he seems to play a lot of seedy characters. #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

    To all concerned: Yup, this is a replacement for the duplicate Nathan Fillion/Greatest American Hero post that I unknowingly repeated from Meredith. Lest it be said that I stole a Fillion pic from you, however: #greenlantern

    In reply to Why Terminator Isn't The New Lost - Explained
    Ok, so I don't like Lost. I've just never gotten into it, and haven't really tried more than twice.


    I loved BSG from the 1st season finale, because the editing was superb, but the melodrama and complex absurdities of the plot lines have really de-spirited me. I care for the thirty minutes after the episode ends, and then I don't. Maybe that is the zenith of television entertainment, as it seems to be how I feel about every show I watch nowadays.


    Terminator is vaguely similar, but I think with this timeline changing they're going into new territory. I just hope Josh Freidman has his mind well wrapped around it, because given another season to play out, it could be stupendous.


    One issue is that season 2 is a completely different beast from season 1, almost to the point where they're different shows. No silly high school drama anymore, and now playing serious mind games with the characters. If the future is constantly changing, but the past rarely does, what's the next step?


    It's obvious that Shirley Manson is acting outside of SkyNet's umbrella and trying to make the machines more human, even though she herself isn't.


    I really want to see where it goes, cause there's a lot of room to manuever.
