So #Lanterns is exactly what it said on the tin; ‘Green Lantern’ by way of ‘True Detective’.

You’d be surprised how many ICC lawyers would be down for this :P
Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there.

I don’t plug it often because we’ve been struggling to finish a third season for many years. But I’d love more folks to enjoy the first two seasons.

This on the day I find out that Jesse Eisenberg refuses to reprise his role as Mark Zuckerberg in a film as he finds the man, his politics and his actions reprehensible.
I find that hilarious as Eisenberg has played Lex Luthor.
