I want to have sex with this girl.
On April 1, Universal Orlando® Resort will close the Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast attraction at Universal Studios Florida® and immediately begin work on an all-new experience based on an amazing concept. The new attraction will be a natural fit for Universal Orlando and is just one of many…
I read this last night and had a dream that the ride was getting remodeled after “American Dad”. Wtf.
Bad-ass superhero trailer of the day: Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters
Arguably more exciting to watch than the sometimes lol-worthy cinematic trailer, the trailer for the new Green Lantern video game has restored my faith in the Ryan Reynolds film from which it is based.
Being a video game based on a film based on a comic book, I have little faith the game will be any good, but perhaps it can pull a X-Men Origins: Wolverine and stand apart from the crowd of similar titles.
Oh, and Hal: Come up with better constructs than the ever-generic “energy blast”. For crying out loud, even Sinestro’s predictable gatling gun was more fun to watch.
As awesome as this looks, I’m always somewhat on-edge when it comes to “creativity-based” actions in games. In this case, the whole ability to create constructs. I can’t imagine they’re going to have a wide range of things you can actually create, which is sad. Honestly, if they made a Green Lantern game where the main thing they tried to do was allow to player to create almost anything they can think of as a construct (just like a Green Lantern does), it would be incredible! But god knows it’ll most likely be “PRESS A TO MAKE A GREEN SHIELD”. “PRESS X FOR GREEN ENERGY BLAST”. “PRESS Y FOR BIG GREEN HAMMER”. Pity.
This character is too ridiculous for a Nolan film?
Yes. Can you imagine Christian Bale being frozen in ice and having that be taken seriously as a realistic threat?
Yes I can imagine that. I cannot imagine keeping a straight face while Tom Hardy wears a luchador mask and attempts to injure Christian Bale while speaking in a Spanish accent.
that’s just as judgmental as saying you can’t take christian bale seriously when he’s speaking with an american accent as batman. seriously, if someone is a good actor, it doesn’t matter if they’re playing cross-cultural characters.
The Hardy as Bane isn’t cultural, it’s racial. A British born Caucasian male is not a large hispanic man from the Caribbean, no matter how hard he tries. Was Mickey Rooney a convincing asian man in Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Hell no, that was stereotypical and racist as shit. And he was one of the great American character actors, so you would be harder pressed to use the “only bad actors and bad movies do that”.
That’s why it’s called “acting” and I definitely trust both Christopher Nolan and Tom Hardy to be decent people in their respects. If Nolan didn’t have a great vision and character for Bane/Hardy then why would he have cast Hardy in the first place? I trust Nolan’s casting based on his past films, so I feel that it was obviously the best decision he could have made. He may not have had anyone audition (or in mind) for the film who fit the visually ethnic stereotype. On the same note, he may not have even cared about the skin colour of the actor— in more recent comics (Secret Six), Bane is pretty light-skinned. Or he possibly changed Bane’s origin like he did with both Joker and Two-Face in The Dark Knight.
And if Hardy doesn’t have the acting chops to pull off someone that he’s obviously not, then your point can therefore be validated, but until then, I definitely do not agree with you.Hey, you are more than welcome to have that opinion, but I will remain doubtful.
However as long as we can both agree Tom Hardy is fox-sundae with extra sex on top, I consider us both right. And Chris wrong.
If I, for one half a second, thought you were being serious and not a gigantic troll, I would try and defend my point. But I know you’re just trying to push my buttons, you little cutie, ;)

HOLY COW, A PERSON PLAYING A CHARACTER UNLIKE THEMSELVES?! Wow, now that seems weird. It would almost be like they would have to “act” like another human being. If I were to give that a term to label it, I might call it “acting”. Yes, I do indeed that this would be strange indeed. Thank God Christian Bale is American or else he wouldn’t be able to play that American character with an American accent.

The Tudors’ to Henry Cavill to play The Man of Steel in Zack Snyder’s Superman project
I know there are plenty of English actors who can pull off American accents just fine, but dammit, this is SUPERMAN we’re talking about. He’s as overtly Americana as apple pie and baseball.
No disrespect to Cavill at all, I’m sure he’ll do a hell of a job, but I just can’t feel good about this decision.
inb4 Christian Bale, amirite?
