I didn't know the next one was animated. So there's only been one "human actor" Green Lantern movie? Guess I'm up-to-date now on DC and Marvel movies. :girlsad: [/quote] Wasn't the one....plenty? On so many levels? Please? [/quote] Yes. It was. I had just hoped that perhaps they could save themselves the disaster of the first by creating an epic second. Perhaps I hope for too much :D [/quote] Lol! I just can't wait to see Ben Affleck follow Christian Bale as the new Batman..... Can Matt Damon please play Robin? Pretty, prettiest please??!!! [/quote] Oh yeah. I could go for that. I really hope Ben doesn't do that whole freaky raspy voice thing, though. That was just a little weird. Would you believe that Michael Keaton was my favorite Batman? I know. I'm weird. But I really like him. [/quote] Lol, my kids do that for fun. Talk in their graveliest deep voice and say "I am Batman." Michael Keaton was the best Batman, hands down. Are we showing our age? [/quote] I actually watched the damn movie the other day, and it made me feel a hundred. Keaton is the best though. [/quote] Oh yeah. Showing age :D But then I sit down with my dad and watch the old black and whites and he tells me all of the stories of theater of old and I feel young :) Perspective really is everything :) How about that parallax? I can time travel in a conversation. Now that's cool :D [/quote] A wise man once told me that there is no such thing as reality, only perception, so while its fortunate for us that "know thyself" is the first philosophical rule, its unfortunately tragic that the second rule isnt "know, also, someone else....so they might tell you should you be full o shit" Lol! In all honesty, though, no wise man told me that, I just made it up. It does make wonderful sense to me though, and adding a wise man always makes the joke better! Really though, knowing yourself is a hard journey, but do able. Knowing how others percieve you......lotsa tricksy-ness to that. Which is probably why I avoid most people. You never know what kinda craziness you're getting into anymore! [/quote]
Original Message
In the movie "Green Lantern", the name of the arch enemy was named Parallax. He possessed the power to make others afraid.
I don't understand the concept of parallax well enough to see how it relates to fear. I know parallax has to do with the bending of light, but beyond that I am absolutely clueless. Can anyone help me understand this as a literary reference?
It's kind of important for me to grasp this as best as possible, because my biggest problem in life is...well, fear. I just can't wrap my head around what parallax would have to do with fear. They didn't call him Parallax without a good reason.
Have at it. I await some interesting discussion about this.
