When I think of GREEN LANTERN, the first thing that pops into my mind isn't Tina Fey and "30 Rock" but that's precisely where I saw the debut of the latest GREEN LANTERN TV spot (I'm told it also ran during "American Idol" but I wasn't having any of that).

At 1:30 in length, this new TV spot is actually closer to a trailer and is mostly cut from the WonderCon footage. I thought they might try to focus the TV campaign to Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively (much in the way that THOR spent a lot of time and money pushing the Thor-on-Earth angle), but they went surprisingly geeky with this, not shying away from Oa, Parallax or Hector Hammond's giant head.

Take a look below and see if you're starting to get excited for GREEN LANTERN...

There will always be 2 Green Lanterns in my life. HAHA!
We have a whorehouse called "Green Lantern" here in my little podunk shit hometown of Ely, Nevada. And believe me, when I first started reading comics in the late 80's & discovered the GL character...some mighty confusing times lay ahead.

As for the movie, looks pretty damn awesome. I'm glad the marketing push is finally revving up.

yeesh...
As much as I wanted Green Lantern to look good nothing I have seen so far as sold me on this movie..and far from it!

Every time I see the trailer (or in this case this "new" tv spot) I shiver at how bad this movie looks. I hope it turns out good, but the shitty special effects and Reynolds (who I actually like as an actor btw) as GL all make this stuff look waaay bad!

OK Movie, you win...
I'll probably end up seeing it in theaters. I'll just close my eyes, and stick my fingers in my ears during the Ryan Reynolds parts.

Still looking cool. Wonder if that is what Parallax will look like for the whole film, or if we'll still get a glimpse of his more demonic insect look similar to the comics.

Either way, my most anticipated as well.

Looks good
I don't know where the homoerotic stuff came from, but it sounds like someone's just trolling. ANYWAYS looks pretty cool

I will stop watching new clips/trailers, because I am already hyped for the movie since the WonderCon footage and I don't want to see too much in advance...

10 years down the road, this movie will be on a "Best Worst..." list somewhere. Easily the most homoerotic movie of the summer.

Sooo you would prefer for all superheroes to wear loose fitting Knitted jumpers and baggy Cargo pants...... That would work....... Not.

Clearly you have no imagination and have a problem with your sexual orientation.

Well, if you consider every project with dudes running around in spandex or tight costumes "homoerotic", this will be a helluva year for you!

You know what you reaching to find homoerotic content where it doesn't exist says about your sexuality, right?
