COMICS: Jack Green? Black Lantern?

I think the idea of a Green Lantern movie starring Jack Black is great. So there.

I mean, come on. Some things are going to work well on the screen, and some things, no matter how hard you try, are going to look a little goofy. That's why I have no great faith in the upcoming Fantastic Four film -- no matter how expensive the special effects are, a man stretching his body like rubber is just going to look plain silly. Same with Green Lantern: he's got a magic ring that makes giant green boxing gloves. Sure, sure, they made GL pretty darn cool on the Justice League cartoon -- but still, it's a cartoon. I just can't picture a serious live action Green Lantern looking anything but a little ridiculous. If it's going to be made, then go with the ridiculous, embrace it, cast Jack Black. And -- as has already been suggested by Mike's co-worker Chris: Ben Stiller as Sinestro. Or Vince Vaughn!
