he is wearing what?... He's Playing WHO!!??

first off i would like to say that i am a huge green lantern fan, HUGE. I have a green lantern logo tattooed on my finger, like that huge.

so of course i am looking forward to the movie coming out next year (June 17 2011 to be exact) staring Canadian actor Ryan Renyolds, pee my pants excited... wait did i say that out loud... never mind that part.

ANYWAY, you can imagine my excitement when i heard they released a picture of Ryan in his much hyped cgi costume, and THIS is what i got

WHAAAAAAT?

this is what his costume is meant to look like. ohh yeah.

so now i am worried, sure they have plenty of time to change the costume, it is cgi after all, but will they, hopefully they will see an outrage from the fans, in fact, everyone should go HERE and vote for either "Meh, Talk about mediocre." or " why is it glowing? to much CGI!"

now moving away from DC and on to Marvel,

they outed Edward Norton from playing the Hulk, which i was against anyway, but now they are talking about casting Mark Gruffalo, to play the hulk... wait, what? not Gruffalo? Ruffalo? oh, ok what ever still, he is the dude from 13 going on 30 (yes i understand that movie also stared Jennifer "Elektra" Garner-Afleck, but that movie sucked, and yes i still own it) but still this man does not come off geeky enough to play Bruce Banner (sorry Norton, but you do!!)

that is still a rumor anyway so hopefull it doesn't pan out, and maybe Norton and marvel will make peace. but that i doubt.

feel like batman... minus the OCD

so i work in a not-so-nice part of town, and we often get the pleasure of watching some interesting things, hookers being the most common and entertaining. Normally we just watch them from afar and giggle at them when they get picked up. but this particular hooker crossed the line and came up to our store and asked our customers to *insert dirty stuff here*

lucky the customer was in good humor and just laughed it off but we can't have hookers taking our customers money so they can't pay us!!

she ended up getting into a minivan... who knows why... but then in about 20 min she was back.. strange i know.

i should also say that this lady of the night, has been "hitchhiking" out side our store every day for almost a week.

so this time she was across the street when a police car happened to be cutting through our parking lot so i ran up and told them that she had been approaching our customers, and off they went.

they caught up to her a little down the street, but luckly still with in view (hehehe) they talked to her for a while, and eventually they put her in the back of the car and drove off... i do kinda feel bad for ruining her working day, but at the same time i feel like i faught crime :D.


on the note of fighting crime, watchmen comes out on DVD today..... i hate being poor i want to watch it right now!!!!!!! whats even worse is that with this DVD i think i wouldn't be happy with the single disk edition, so that jumps the price up to 28 + tax LAME

ONTOP of that the Green Lantern Animated movie comes out NEXT week, and i need to get that so i can force my wife to watch it so maybe i can FINALY get her to see how AWESOME he is.... i seem to be CAPSING alot of words in this PARAGRAPH... hehe


so to sum up... if you have hookers giving you trouble give me a call..... and pay me so i can buy movies (there tied it all togeather)

Beware my power, or not

so they finally cast the lead role for green lantern and the role goes too *drum roll*

Ryan Reynolds

hmmm

ok I love Ryan Reynolds and he totally has the right look for Hal and i do like that he is a comic fan because you know he will want to keep it close to source BUT Ryan always plays the same character and i can't think of a serious role that he has had that makes me think he can pull it off. when i heard christian bale was playing batman i thought back to American psycho and i went "yeah he can do it"
i am a HUGE Green Lantern fan (i have the logo tattooed on my finger) so i need this movie to be good for me to be able to continue living my life a happy man.

he does get extra points for being Canadian too :D

geek o palusa

lots of geeky things today such as a review of wolverine ..... but you will have to wait till the end to read that..... no skipping ahead ... and for those who haven't seen it i will warn you before i start talking about it *caughLauracough*

ok first off geek Christmas... or free comic book day :D its always the first saturday in may, and it is a day where comic book publishers give away... wait for it.... free comics... cool eh:D

most comic book stores use this day to have sales and the such.. all in all, it is great fun.

this year the lines were HUGE (i drove by 3 of the 4 comic book stores in town) bigger than i have ever seen before.

i did make it into the one by my work while on my lunch break... i mostly wanted to go for Blackest night #0 but ended picking up a cool new avengers story and the first issue of Preacher a series i have always wanted to read but just never had the time or the money to get caught up on it.

Blackest night was well worth the price of free, even if just for the black lantern's oath and the profiles on all 8 corps.. though i noticed a printing error.... the profile page for the Sinestro corps in the top left corner where there logo is.... isn't there logo, its the logo for the blue lantern corps but coloured yellow.... way to go boys lol

hmmm i am hungry bagel break......




WARNING AFTER BAGELS WILL BE WOLVERINE STUFF.... mmm bagel *nom nom*



*still eating bagel*


mmm that was good, herb and garlic cream cheese rules... ANYWAY

wolvie!!

k i am gonna start with the flaws and get them over with, flaws as in differences between the movie and the comics, it truth these are not flaws they are differences, the marvel earth (called earth 616) is just a separate universe, comic book fans should be able to understand that right, so everyone calm down.

ok so the 'flaws' wolverine and Sabertooth are not brothers, the character seems to be merged with Dog logan from the wolverine origin story. who was also not wolverine's brother but the rest of the lil beginning part was accurate from the origin.

wade wilson aka deadpool, is not a mutant, but he is given wolverine's healing power by weapon x, he is not how ever given 80000 other mutant powers.

Cyclops does not shoot lasers out of his eyes (stick with me here) he shoots a concussive force, so the scene where he shoots the roof off his school, would not have melting metal and flames, just allot of rubble.

Emma frost, is not Silverfox's sister, and her diamond skin does develop until years latter, her main mutant power is she is a psychic that can almost rival prof X

Gambit's powers are cooler in the comic book, my wife said it looks like the cards he throws electrocutes people instead of exploding like they should. and his accent should of been thicker.

my biggest problem is how wolverine lost his memories... really an adamantium bullet to the brain did it.... lame and boo i say.

all that aside (and i know i missed some, some cause i found them less important, and some cause i forgot) i enjoyed the movie.

its not a perfect wolverine story, he is obviously the wolverine from the movies as apposed to the comics, but it was enjoyable, it had gambit, lots of claw slashing, gambit, some good wolvie and sabie fights, a cool prison full of mutants you have to try and identify to get your geek card (did anyone else see magneto's kid), conformation on wolvie's canadian citizinship, gambit, deadpool (even if the was sparcly used at the begining and was some strange combo man at the end) oh did i mention it had gambit?

anywho i give it a 3.52 stars out of 5 go see it.... it has Gambit!

they look like smurfs.... but cranky

I am an avid green lantern fan (as the tattoo of the green lantern logo on my right middle finger may tell you) so this has been annoying me for a long time.

Kyle Rayner made a sacrifice of the power of Ion in order to bring back all the long dead guardians.
side note the all the guardians (minus Ganthet) died as a result of Hal Jordan, greatest of the green lantens, being under the control of the parallax entity. they gave there lives and there power to produce one last green lantern ring (one slightly different then the previous ones) in order to keep the corp alive after Jordan murdered all the current members and destroyed the central power battery

that one ring went to Kyle, or the torch barer as he was latter known.

when Kyle came in possion of the Ion entity he became quite powerful, so powerful in fact that he used his power ring to recreate the guardians that gave there lives to make it.

BUT he decided to bring them back as children. you see the guardians have a track record for being cold and calculating, and kyle believed that it was because, being immortal, they lived so long they forgot how to care and love.

so he thought he if he recreated them as children they would have to grow up and they would be more compassionate.

the problem is it didn't work, there still cold and unflinching in there belief that they are solely in the right and there opinions are the only ones that should be considered.

this going into the blackest night storyline is obviously going to get them into trouble.

there are exceptions to the rule of course... both Ganthet and Sayd left Oa in order to form a new corp based on the power of hope.

and then there is scar.. who's soul is rotting ... or some crap like that, he is feeling the negative aspect of emotions, she is in deep with the blackest night.

the point is if i was kyle i would walk into the Guardians chambers and give them a piece of my mind. he gave them life, they should show him respect and consider why he did it and understand the need for caring guardians.

but we all know they don't like listing to reason.
