That's funny about the Karate Kid because I was aware of the movies long before I was aware there was a Legion of SuperHeroes member which preceded Mr. Miyagi by a decade or more. I only heard of the LoSH Karate Kid in the last ten years.

I wondered for years why the credits mentioned he was TM & (C) DC Comics. And was never able to find a comic about him.

Ha! Now they're talking about Rebooting Green Lantern.

Jeff Robinov has no fucking clue. I swear, DC Movies should be almost idiot proof, and these guys continue to find ways to fuck up their biggest IP farm.

I bought Green Lantern on DVD in the cheap bin(for like $3.44 or something) awhile ago. Mostly because I’m a superhero movie “completist” and it’s just been sitting on my shelf unopened for months. Maybe longer.
Anyway, I opened it and watched it last night. I had forgotten a majority of the plot so it was like I was watching it for the first time. It’s still a turd. I reread my review in this thread just now and I had the exact same thoughts while watching it for the third time that I did the first time and had forgotten about.

But the reason I came here to post is that while we were watching it, my GF is seeing Tom, his sidekick/best friend in the movie and she goes “that’s Taiti Waikiki” and I’m like “no it isn’t.”
But I was WRONG and she was RIGHT. It IS him.

HAHA, yeah, totally had no idea - but... he actually brings this up in the commentary on Thor: Ragnarok (which i happened to watch a bit with my daughter the other day). apparently the "shake weight" that Skurge is using in the opening scene is Taika's, and he bought it one night during a late night infomercial shopping spree while on the set of Green Lantern, so he counts it as the first cinematic Marvel/DC crossover.

Speaking of Ryan Reynolds, he launched his own streaming service.
Seriously.

One catch: it had only one movie - 2003's Foolproof - starring Ryan Reynolds.

I haven’t read any reviews, but I’ve seen review headlines. I think I’m gonna stay off the internet for the next couple days. Going to see it Saturday morning.
