But I'll really like them in other movies (i.e. Truman Show, Wedding Singer, Stranger Than Fiction). I'm hoping that Green Hornet turns out to be one of the latter types for Rogan. Time will tell.

I boycotted 'Catwoman' with Halle Berry. If I can do *that*, I can certainly boycott the 'Green Vomit'. BRING BACK VAN WILLIAMS! TEAM HIM UP WITH JACKIE CHAN! 'nuff said, True Believers! Excelsior! |
Heck Jackie Chan is no spring chicken either (but he's certainly younger than Van).

I will probably go see this, most likely with my gaming group so we can quietly snark our way through the film. (Like we do with virtually every superhero movie.) My taste in movies is varied enough that I can get away with it.
(And I agree, Yogi Bear is definitely on the 'miss' list. Of the trailers I saw today before HP7a... "Season of the Witch", probably. "Green Hornet," probably. "Green Lantern," most likely. "Red Riding Hood," not even for Gary Oldman whom I adore.)

If you and Miss D_R are willing to give this movie a chance, then I *might* actually have to do the same (at least until a reviewer blasts the movie).
In any case, I'll wait for it to come to the local discount moviehouse.
Thanks, GL68!

I prefer the former. The guy in 'Strikes Again' looked way to doughy and the mask looked like it was made of poster board.

Yeah, I may've forgotten about those...

But yeah, Super-Irish Axford was in both, but the first serial was the origin story. I don't remember much about "Strikes Again". I've still got it, but I only watched it once. It's on the shelf with all my other movie serials.
((Interesting note: In the Captain Marvel serial, Captain Marvel totally chucks some dude off a roof. ))

Although the new Carl's Jr. tie-in commercial may not be a trailer per se, it looks like it captures the film's spirit, style, and wit as much as anything we've seen so far.
