Hey, Sinestro, Whaddya Know

?
So Geek Tyrant got this first good look at Sinestro from the live-action Green Lantern movie, and… hell, I think he looks good. Great, even. I think they nailed the character while somehow taking some of the silliness out of the original comic character design — he is totally recognizable, and he works on screen. I even like his GL uniform — and I don’t know why I just noticed this, other than that I’m an idiot, but I like that the Lantern symbols on the uniforms actually glow… like a lantern. It’s a cool touch that uses the CG uniforms intelligently and well, and one that makes a lot of sense. Does this pic calm down any of you haters?
