Green Lantern script is stupid


From Iwatchstuff, "IESB has a summary and review of what's said to be the latest Green Lantern script. Written by Robert Smigel of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Saturday TV Funhouse fame, it takes an all-new bumbling Green Lantern and puts him in comic scenarios, such as scenes with singing puppets and Green Lantern Kilowog taking the new Lantern recruit to Olive Garden.

Green Lantern fanatics are sure to be mad about the take on the hero, but I say let he who has not enjoyed the taste, value, and "hospitaliano" of The Olive Garden cast the first stone. When you're an intergalactic warrior armed with the Green Lantern ring, sometimes you need more than a recharging battery lantern to keep yourself going. That energy can only come in the form of bottomless breadsticks and a never-ending pasta bowl. The Green Lantern ring can create any form, and sometimes that form is affordable Italian food in a classy environment."

Oh, this is crap from beginning to end. DC is just starting to get a foothold in the movies, but I guess they want to make the fuck-up movie early, and on purpose.

AND, anyone who gripes is just "one of those upset fanboys" and they'll spend several million dollars before they realize they've made a horrible, horrible decision. Then they'll spend several million more to cover it up.
