Mommy, Why Do They Hate Us?
Ganked from Pete.
Just as I rejoice at the fact that the Superman movie might not turn out to be a smoking crater, this happens (scroll down to "Out of the Kitchen").
So they're adapting Green Lantern with Kyle Rayner as bearer of the ring. Good, good... I always thought that Kyle, with his status as confused newbie possessor of a phenomenal cosmic power, would be someone the audiences could latch onto.
And they want to make it a comedy. Uhhh...
And they want Jack Black to play Kyle Rayner.
Fuck. That. Shit.
Does anybody care anymore? Do I have to beat the executives of Warner Bros. with bamboo reeds until they get the idea that people like it when the movies are in tune with the comic books? I mean, say what you will about Daredevil and The Punisher, at least they didn't treat the source material like a five-dollar hooker.
