You just gotta love these

So I have totally gone super fanboy over Green Lantern lately, especially with all the news & hype buzzing around right now.  I'm stoked that Ryan Reynolds will be playing Hal Jordan, 100% happy with that choice.  Green Lantern is also one of the absolute best books out there right now IMO and Blackest Night #1 was so damn EPIC.

 What is there not to like about the GL universe right now?  I know there are some people not digging it out there but I could care less honestly.  Biggest complaints I've heard lately is about Ryan Reynolds and about how he's too goofy, or not a serious enough actor to be GL.  Truth is though he is a GREAT actor and anyone who doesn't believe me should watch Smokin' Aces, The Nines, or Amityville Horror.  Granted one or two of these movies weren't good in and of themselves but Reynolds did tremendously well in them, as well as display his range for playing different types of roles. (And let's not forget what kind of character GL actually was in the Silver Age, and for christ's sake he's not that serious of a character, he thought Larfleeze looked like a god damn muppet!)

Oh and Blackest Night, I'm tired of hearing people complaint about issue #1.  I mean come on people it was a great issue and extremely well written.  Some complain the end was unnessacary and that the characters who died at the end were pointless deaths but in truth they were serving almost no point in the current continuity so why keep them around?  Besides I really hate one of them and was really hoping he'd die anyway. 

So what comes out next year that us Comic Book Fanboys and Fangirls have been both, looking forward to, and absolutely dreading?  That's right!  NOTHING.  Fox has won the rights to the upcoming Watchmen movie according to IESB.net.  Now before you light your torches and sharpen you blades nothing is confirmed as whether or not the release date will be pushed back yet again or if the movie will be canceled altogether but I for one, am worried.  

Warner created The Watchmen in 1986 and since then the book has become one of the largest milestones in the Comic Book industry as a whole.  Now Fox comes along just months before the release of the movie and decides to claims rights to the title.  Warner obviously pushed forward, ignoring Fox as much as they could, continuing their mass marketing of the movie.  Back in the mid 90's Fox was given the opportunity to do something with the title (Why Warner did this I have no idea.) but they did nothing with it.   So here we are now.  Fox can potentially cancel the movie completely and piss off all of us and there is nothing we can do about it.

Unfortunately there is not much more to be said here other then...

F@#K FOX!

He's a much better character in the chair.  It creates a humanity to Professor X and makes him more intersting of a character.  Outside of the chair he's just another mutant.

I did watch it.  Granted it was not a cartoon about the gritty Hero I have come to love over the years but I enjoyed it.
