More From Ryan Reynolds And Blake Lively On Green Lantern!

I just popped my cherry... hope it was as good for you as it was for me

So, she was using wikipedia at first when she had access to Geoff Johns? That would have been the first person i talked to about GL!

Lol @MrJosh
"It's been around since the '40s, there is a lot of story I've missed!"
Here's me doubting she knows anything about her character. At least she'll have a nice side-boob as Star Sapphire.

MsKyle08- I love you!!!

@MsKyle- Agreed. I really want to be excited for this film, but hearing from Ms. Lively, how Mark Strong had to correct his costume's mistakes, and how Reynolds needed to correct the oath on the final draft of the script makes me a little wary. I really hope its good though.

@upupandaway I didnt hear about Mark Strong having to correct costume mistakes, I could have overlooked that.

I cant believe someone can mess up the oath, my goodness ask Geoff Johns at least.

I hate being right too much

@MsKyle- At the end of the day, if she acts well, it doesn't really matter how much she knows. I'm really hoping that it's great. This is DC's first branching off from their top two guys, so I'm hoping for more goodness.

I loved the fights in Casino Royale, so I'm really excited to see what Campbell can do on a larger scale like Green Lantern.

@John- I know. I'm not saying it will suck, just that, so far, I don't feel too much to be excited about. Release some footage *wink wink* and I may be swayed. : ) I really like most of the cast and the director though.

I still dont like what I've so far seen of the costume, but I am now really looking forward to seeing this movie! I have to admit that I'm intrigued by the way that Reynolds describes how Campbell is handling the action scenes...sounds like Casino Royale x100 in space! One word: EPIC!!! :D

I'm talking bout all these teenybopper shows on the CW and all. Funny enough i can deal with soap stars who cross over to prime time. I wish Jason (Steve Burton?) from General Hospital would do something non soap related. And i agree with you...way too young for the role.

@MsKyle Yeah daytime soaps I guess dont bother me gotta start somewhere. But her as Carol has so many similarites to Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane its not even funny. She doesnt Look like Carol, and why did she have to Wiki Green Lantern, she probably didnt know WHICH GL was going to be used in the film I bet

@LEEE you even questioned the Lively casting, I still am

Typically people go to their local comic shop to do research for a CBM. Not Blake, though! She uses Wikipedia. lol

well, i'm a high school english teacher and even though my colleagues hate me for this, i ALWAYS tell my students to start their research on wiki pages. it's the best way to get a one-or-two-page summary of big topics. once they've gotten through it, of course, they need to confirm or disprove every fact they found there—but as a general way to get up to speed on something, it's invaluable. dismissing or ignoring the value of wikis as research tools simply exposes people—and teachers—as being out of step with current technology.

she never says she ONLY used wikipedia... just that it was her first stop. i think that's perfect.

@claybo—yeah, i figured i'd get called on the capitalization... but i'm not in a classroom right now haha. besides, at least i am very consistent in my non-use of capital letters.

it's true that i'm a bit unorthodox, but telling students NOT to use wiki media is as pointless as telling them not to use cliff's notes. they are going to do it anyway, and banning it just makes them hide it. if i tell them they can USE it, but need to CITE backup sources for each and every fact, it actually forces them to do MORE work in the end.

the bottom line is, i'd have given your friend a zero also! he didn't USE the site, he CUT & PASTED a research paper! i give those zeros out all the time :)

@alternate I didnt say the kid was a friend, it was something I read in the newspaper, guess I better not catching you saying AINT outside the classroom cause AINT AINT a word cause it AINT in the dictionary (Trust me im around athletes, try understanding them)

I never said wikipedia was bad for research, Hell I said I use it, Im just saying for students working on papers, use something else.

@GL I was messing with him gee he knows I was, people think im always gun ho or something

@GLFanboy—thank you for your defense and for your compliment!

@claybo—no worries; i saw the joke. although i'd suggest you opt for a more complete dictionary; "ain't" has been in most good ones since the early eighties.

you see, a good teacher needs to be more than an expert, he needs to (1) understand the world in which his students live, and (2) recognize that knowledge is not static. there is standard (academic) english and there is common vernacular english, but neither is invalid. like all living languages, english is in a constant state of evolution. by the time we die, for example, it will be acceptable to omit the apostrophe from most contractions; texting is quickly ending people's patience for and dependency on such things. now, i wouldn't accept unpunctuated contractions in a paper any more than i would accept "ain't," "y'all," or a lack of capital letters. but outside the classroom... why not?

the key is making sure they KNOW standard english when they NEED it. now, as for YOU... well, if there were one pet peeve i'd like to see people correct, it's the substitution of "their" for "his or her" when the subject is singular. such as in, "Lockheed Martin wouldnt let a 22 year old be VP regardless of their credentials." but i know that battle may be a lost cause. :P

@claybo—i wasn't knocking your spelling, man. the "his or her" grammar issue i called you on is one i hear all day, every day... even from fellow teachers.

besides, it's like you said: when it MATTERS, you do it right. or try to, at least lol :)
