China 2011: Day 19-20

[tanithryudo]

Nothing happened yesterday. Today we head back to the U.S. Unfortunately, there is a 9 hour layover in Taiwan. So I'm wasting some time at the transfer station.

On the ride over from Nanjing on the Airbus, I got a chance to watch "Green Lantern." Yeah, it was about as underwhelming as expected. For a character that is basically billed as a "space-cop", there is precious little scenes that are space related or heavy sci-fi. Pretty much all of the scenes of Oa were covered in the trailers, and "Iron Man” had more high-tech than this movie.

My complaints of DC's incompetence at characterization still stands. I'd hate to think that the average movie-verse DCU earthling is so bad that the likes of movie-Hal would be the best choice for courage for the GL ring. Then again, none of the other DC movies have exactly turned out any paragons of virtue either. Give me Marvel, at least when it comes to the movies, I guess.

The problem with DC movie-verse is that DC seemed to fail to actually translate the idea into action. Because it's not like they don't write decent scripts. The DCAU (animated-verse) characters are actually likeable and feel like heroes. Heck, DCAU is actually quite fun. But somewhere between getting real actors and putting it on the big screen, the script goes from competent to WTF-is-this-fail.

I think they should just let the DCAU writers write the damn scripts instead. =.=

The iconic red double-decker buses seen zipping around London have become synonymous with the city, and nowhere are they more prominent than in Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most visited sites and a hub of activity from dusk ‘til dawn. Conveniently located in the Park Lane district, Piccadilly Circus is readily accessible from (The Park Lane hotel) and is within walking distance from all of the Park Lane hotels.
