Ryan Reynolds' Best Tweets From His Green Lantern Watch Party

✖

Earlier today, to mark St. Patrick's Day and the many green festivities that go along with it, Ryan Reynolds took to social media to reveal that he would be doing something he'd never done before, watching 2011's Green Lantern in its entirety. Luckily for all of us, Reynolds live-tweeted the whole thing including his many reactions to his co-stars, the elements of the film he had no idea made the final cut, and a little game called "spot the CGI." We've collected some of the best tweets from Reynolds from his unofficial watch party below, luckily Ryan had a cup of his trademark Aviation Gin nearby too.

"When we shot Green Lantern, nobody auditioning for the role of Green Lantern was given the opportunity to read the script, because the script didn't exist," Reynolds once said about the making of the film. "I'm not complaining about it -- it was an opportunity of a lifetime, and if I were to go back and retrace my steps, I would probably do everything the exact same way. But script, that's what's different on this one."

Ahead of his watch party Reynolds also included a recipe for a Green Lantern themed cocktail called "Lantern's Light." Here's the recipe if you're interested in sampling this pretty green drink yourself, for St. Patrick's Day (or beyond):

• 1.5 oz Gin
• 1 oz Apple Pucker
• 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
• Top w/Ginger Ale
• MUST BE 21 OR OLDER TO CONSUME ALCOHOL

First time ever

Starting GL now. First time ever. Too early to ask for a #SnyderCut of this fucker?

Cheers to Taika

I swear I'm drinking to Grammy winner and international ambassador of joy, @TaikaWaititi. Not to numb any pain I might be in.

invisible space energy

Do you have any idea how weird it is to act while being attacked by invisible space energy?

Parrallax is a Beanie Baby

Parrallax thought he was so bad. He had no clue 2020 would make him look like a fucking Beanie Baby. Go back to space, asshole.

Peter Sarsgaard's head

They spent 6 hrs each day turning Peter Sarsgaard's head into an over-inflated beach ball. But the GL suit is a onesie made from old Frogger pixels.

Sad

Wow. Hector just threw his father into a gigantic tornado of fire. That's exactly how my dad died.

Who elevates the movie the most?

There's a lot of heavy hitters in the movie. Not always used in the right way... but still... heavy hitters.

So maybe not that bad after all?

Maybe it's the Aviation Gin talking, but #GreenLantern was nothing to fear! Hundreds of incredible crew and cast members did amazing work -- and while it's not perfect, it ain't a tragedy. Next time I won't wait a decade to watch.
