.. what a crushing disappointment.. what a crushing collision of circumstances... I felt so disappointed when I read on the internet that Tom Cruise might honestly be cast as Hal Jordan... that it wasn't Steve Trevor.. that it wasn't Tom Cruise being a serious candidate to play Steve Trevor.. after Chris Pine.. that I didn't even have ANY cognizance whatsoever.. that their are few actors on planet earth.. or in the Milky Way Galaxy.. who are a better choice to play Hal Jordan.. than Tom Cruise.. I could not even feel the pure rapture of having found an unbelievably perfect Hal Jordan... in Tom Cruise.. also.. I am still obsessed with.. with Ethan Hawke.. playing Hal Jordan...
