Wow.

Who's John Lassester?

If there's someone I can trust with 3D, it's Peter Jackson

Looking forward to it

@ChiRep-1 lol

"Network television and cable television as we know it are completely imploding, so we're not really sure that in five years' time we can release a dramatic one-hour episode because it is all reality TV now."

What is Rick McCallum smoking?

Wow, he actually used the same gimmick as for the Special Edition trailer. Small screen to big screen shift.

@k-man reportedly they spent about $100 million marketing the movie.

@tomp1210 I don't like Keanu as Hal nor Topher as Deadpool. Reynolds as Flash might work, at least for the Wally West Flash.

@k-man it's actually worse. The studios had to shoulder the $200 million budget, but the $219 million gross doesn't go all to the studios. About half of it goes to movie theaters, so in essence Green Lantern was VERY unprofitable.

@tomp1210 Reynold's Deadpool was horrible. The funny thing is how Deadpool is supposed to be this funny guy while Hal Jordan is more serious, and he played those roles in reverse. Not his fault, though.

The first movie wasn't the disaster I thought it would be. It wasn't good, mind you, but what hurt it most was the inflated budget. Reminded me of Waterworld, another forgettable movie that wasn't specially bad, but not as horrible as the critics put it.

They have to fix a lot of things, but everything's fixable and I'm ok with the same cast returning. Sinestro in particular was very good.

@k-man clearly you still don't get it. I'm not defending that "ignorant little sh*t", I am attacking YOUR ridiculous argument that if he can't do better than them he can't say anything. That is absurd as f*ck.

@dan1 that's exactly my point, the sixth season introduced new characters and plot points when we still had so many loose points from the previous seasons. Why? Because they had no idea what to do with the old plot points, and had to cover their mess. It was specially disappointing after a brilliant 5th season.

@k-man by that same token you cannot criticize any movie since you are unable to write or direct a brilliant one. That's a weak argument you got there.

I don't think writers and filmmakers are idiots for making remakes. It's not entirely their fault that Hollywood has run out of ideas and is prostituting itself into uncreative repetition. That fault lies mostly with producers unwilling to take risks with new ideas.

@corey @dan1 disagreed. They had this huge build up and could not deliver. They strayed from the science fiction that was keeping the show interesting to the fantasy elements that they pulled out of their asses in the end, very disappointing. Sure, it was a happy ending for most of the characters, but in the end the whole Dharma Initiative took a backseat to two stupid gods bickering over stupid sh*t. Jack and Locke in a mano a mano in that last episode was embarrassingly awful.

I don't dismiss the show, though. It was one of my favorite shows ever, and as I said, the ride was incredible (with a few bumps here and there). The ending... meh.

@k-man so if he can't come up with original ideas that makes his arguments invalid?

@ROFLitschristian it's sort of like LOST: a great ride, but the ending was meh.

The poster sucks so much it isn't even the traditional painting.

Back in december 2007 I bought my first Apple product in the iPod Classic. I immediately thought "this is the best gift I have ever bought".

A year and a half later, when my cellular contract was about to expire and I was hunting for a new cel, I decided to give the iPhone a chance, despite not having a good first impression of it (when the first iPhone was released it was bombarded with viruses, remember?) and that with the iPod I already had a much bigger portable music library.

My reaction was the same as the iPod's.

One or two months later, when my PC's constant troubles pushed past the limits of my patience, I decided to jump ship and buy an iMac, giving Apple a new chance. Suffice to say I'll never go back to PC.

To me, Apple is synonimous with great quality and dedication in their products, as well as practicality and elegance. An Apple product is not just a product made to be sold in an impersonal way; you can see the thoughtfulness and pride of the brand even with the storage boxes. And all of this is thanks to Steve Jobs.

I'm not an Apple fanboy, but I'm a grateful customer. I'm also grateful of how the company's success forced other technology companies to react and get us out of the hole Microsoft's monopoly had dug everyone into. Now Google/Android and even Microsoft are forced to release quality products to keep up with Apple. In this way, Droid fanboys also owe their existance to Uncle Steve.

Evene though I never met him in person his death struck an emotional chord with me (and I'm not someone easily moved), but I can recognize when someone really important and deserving of everyone's respect has gone to never come back.

Godspeed, Steve!
