“Fear is the enemy of will. Will is what makes you take action. Fear is what...”
– This one is more than a little geeky. Mark Strong’s Sinestro character said this when he first encountered Hal Jordan in a training duel on Oa in the recent Green Lantern movie. Although this movie wasn’t exactly the best superhero movie I’ve seen, the fear-courage theme is pretty...
