the alien characters (^ Sinestro looks like the real deal) look better in CG than Hal's for some reason...

And I agree....I'm not big on humour in it...Hal should be more of a serious type guy. I don't remember him making corny jokes/remarks in the comics...lol WTF! I knew casting Ryan Reynolds would lead to that...I mean he is good in his humourous roles...but just doesn't seem to fit this character though.

Ryan Reynolds has said that his superhero costume in the Green Lantern movie had to be created using visual effects.

Speaking to Empire, Reynolds defended the decision not to use a spandex outfit, saying that CGI will help reflect his character Hal Jordan's changing moods throughout the comic book movie.

"It has to be virtual rather than spandex," he said. "This is a suit from an alien planet. It's not The Dark Knight - I don't put the suit on and my voice drops several octaves.

"The suit is powered specifically on his will, his emotion, his creativity and his imagination. I love that. Everything Hal creates are images from his childhood. Or things fuelled specifically from his own mind."

Green Lantern opens in cinemas this summer.

In Green Lantern Blake Lively plays Carol Ferris, who as VP runs Ferris Aircraft and is also a pilot. In the trailer her helmet has an 8-pointed star symbol which hints that Carol has her own secret: she's a member of the Star Sapphire Corps.

While a Green Lanterns power ring draws from the users willpower, a Star Sapphires power ring uses love. Other Corps use different colors, each signifying a different point along the emotional spectrum; anger, fear etc. These differences often bring the Corps into conflict, even if both are trying to do the right thing. Carol and Hal, who also have a romantic undercurrent, are prime examples.

Below is an image of Star Sapphire from the comics. We can only hope Ms. Lively wears something similar ;)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
