The Green Lantern Movie (Spoiler)

Pointed out by my darling wife, who knew NOTHING about the Green Lantern story beyond "He's that green super-hero you like so much".

The mid-end credits "Shocker Stinger" where Sinestro, who up till this point had just been a counter-point spoil to Hal Jordan's Everyman-Hero, puts on the evil yellow Fear Ring...

Well DUH he's going to be a bad guy! His name is SINESTRO! "Oh I know my name SOUNDS like the word 'Sinister' in your language, but you have nothing to fear because that's just my nick-name. My REAL name is Badguy Von Evilsneaky".

I loved the movie for almost every reason that others seem to have hated it; it felt like a great cheesy 80's sci-fi movie :)
