redfiona99 Mansize Tissues
I have nothing against their existance, in fact, right now, I am very glad of it. It's the name I object to. I mean, there is nothing mansized about my nose, it is small and delicate and to scale with the rest of my five foot four body. Cease casting aspersions upon it, tissue industry. Also, please start making your balm tissues in larger sizes, they're lovely, but they're just not big enough.
The Green Lantern
My problems start with my Green Lantern looking like this
So mostly I'm confused as to why he's suddenly white, and before anyone points out that the other two Green Lanterns were white, I know, but you know what they say about the first version of a character you see being the one that sticks.
Other than that, the Green Lantern was my uncle's favourite superhero, and to this day he tells a fantastic story about how he waited with baited breath for the release of "The Trial of the Green Lantern" where all the other Green Lantern's stood in judgement on Earth's Human Lantern. Green Lantern means a lot to people and I refuse to believe they couldn't have gotten anyone better than Ryan Reynolds to play him, mostly on the principle that anyone would be better than Ryan Reynolds (why yes, I have seen Blade:Trinity and Wolverine:Origins).
The Green Hornet
The point about you imprinting on the first version goes for this too. I don't think I can overstate how gaga I was over the Adam West Batman when I was little. I'm sure my Mum and Nan can tell you horror stories if you asked them.
On one occasion, a new crimefighter appeared, who was on the Caped Crusader's side, eventually. Later on, I discovered that this Green Hornet fellow had his own show. You can imagine my excitement.
Of course, the best thing about the Green Hornet was Kato, who was awesome, and I have to admit I did end up calling it the show with the kung fu butler.
I have every hope that Jay Chou will be at least half decent, it's more the director I worry about. I worry about excessive jump-cuts and unneccesary artiness.
