Excited to see the Snyder Cut. But ahead of its debut – and with the aid of a good amount of #AviationGin - tonight at 6pm EST I’ll do something I’ve never done: actually watch Green Lantern. Happy #StPatricksDay

There’s a lot of heavy hitters in the movie. Not always used in the right way... but still... heavy hitters.

Maybe it’s the Aviation Gin talking, but #GreenLantern was nothing to fear! Hundreds of incredible crew and cast members did amazing work — and while it’s not perfect, it ain’t a tragedy. Next time I won’t wait a decade to watch.

Green Lantern centers around Hal Jordan, a test pilot who is chosen to become the first human member of the Green Lantern Corps. He is given a ring that grants him superpowers and he must confront Parallax, who threatens to disturb the balance of power in the universe. The movie’s failure had Warner Bros. Studios canceling a planned sequel.
