SS: Foreshadow


Green Lantern: The movie was released yesterday, and being the loyal fan, I picked it up.  This week, the film is the basis of my...
Star Sapphire Saturday!

Now, Blake Lively was not the best in the role of Carol Ferris, but with a little work, she might be better.  If ever they get a green light for a sequel, she needs a little more BAM to pull off Star Sapphire.  I hope she brings it, because not even Ryan Reynolds' fine ass was enough to carry this film.

But I love the hints that they placed in the movie to give those in the know the impression, the hope, that there would be a sequel and our favorite Ferris would be highlighted. In literature these hints are called foreshadowing.  And there were plenty of them I sought out like little gold coins.

Her flight call sign is Sapphire (Duh).  If you couldn't catch that hint, you should go home.

Her helmet has her call sign, but on the other side it also has the star symbol, very much like the one on the waist of the SS costume.

At one point, Hector Hammond is pining away for Carol and reading an article on her in the Business section of the Coast City rag. The headline reads, "Rising Star Carol Ferris positioned to take reins at Ferris."  That Star is rising alright.  Right on up to Zamaron.

And of course, she looks good in purple.  I can't imagine they would have gone through the whole movie without putting her in at least one purple outfit.  They did, and it looks great on her. Unfortunately the pic doesn't do her justice.  Just makes her look like she's got bad acne.

Sorry for the bad shots.  Had to snap em from my phone off the tv.  So lame, but the screenshots from my Mac were protected.  Next time I'll load the digital copy.

Love conquers all with violet light!
