When did you get Ares' job?

I would like to point out this shouldn't be news anyway. Who afterall, in their right minds would greenlight a $150 million dollar Ryan Reynolds movie. I'm just hoping Green Lantern fans, get the movie they deserve somewhere down the line.

I'm in no rush to watch this film either, but I have to say that this an unusual thing for someone to allege 5 months out from the films release. This may be sour grapes, but the agent comes off desperate in the article, and his client looks like she's deflating in that dress.

I didn't mind Clash of the Titans.

One of the things that's really putting me off is how ''CG'' the Costume looks, I mean I know it's CG'd but they can make it look better if they tried.

Jeez, are those two still hoarding Showcase 22's? Kinda reminds me of the knuckleheaded speculators that cornered the market on Howard the Duck #1's during the run up to its mega-flop.

I know a lot of people want SC22 to crash...let the market decide. Keep fighting as it continues to climb. Now what is high, time will tell.

i don't understand the appeal of ryan reynolds. yes, he is a very good looking guy, but that's it. he's so frigging boring in everything i've ever seen him in. very whitebread. my wife agrees. understanding he does really look the part of hal jordan who is a stiff whitebread type... but seriously, it took GL 35+ years to even be remotely interesting (if you include the GA version) ....

I'm being facetious...and don't care what the future holds for SC22 since it's not in my collecting interests.

 

Although you'll have to admit the recent speculation in SC22 has a lot to do with the expectations of a movie bump, particularly a successful one.

I think Showcase 22 will continue to climb, the Green Lantern animated series will be by Bruce Timm on the Cartoon Network. Just being on the Cartoon Network on a weekly basis is actually a bigger win in the long run then what any one comic book movie would do for popularity. (thumbs u

I'll be holding my 8.5 for quite a while regardless what the market dictates. For SC22, it's really a fact of supply and demand.

I agree. DC is hoping GL will lead them to more DC movies, cartoons, and merchandise. The success of GL will be great for the comic industry.

What? There was a Howard the Duck megaflop?

 

 

Time to start offloading Howard books for pennies on the dollar.

Sour grapes? It's damage control and protecting his client from the eventual fallout of the POS production. Whenever this has happened, and it has quite a few times, the movie is always a steaming pile of .

 

It takes a potentially career-threateningly-bad movie for an agent to act like this.

Time to start dumping those GL books you been hoarding, with dreams of making a mint.

C'mon that a late 70's book with zillion of copies. The last Howard the Duck #1 in 9.8 sold for over $2K.

expect the worst, then pray it's fantastic four.
