Just in case you were curious...

This review of Constantine seems to sum up the very little I've seen and the much I've heard about the movie. In space they may not be able to hear you scream, but in a crowded movie theatre there's no escape. It'll be a cold day in hell before I even consider seeing this thing - it sounds like not just a bloody awful adaptation of one of the more complex characters in comics, but just a bad movie over all.

I haven't seen the shorts but yeah. It looks bad. But, honestly, dude? you've sat through a couple of Harry Potter movies and you hate them more than anything. But half of what the reviewer's said sounds like he's just. Trying to act smart, really. I see the same thing with a few of my friends. I get teh feeling that if it weren't using the Hellblazer name, it'd be a piece of okay, but not good fluff.

*grins* It might be worth getting you pissed as (even if that tends to be expensive. You've got far too high an alcohol tolerance. *g*) and then recording your reaction to it.

I saw Harry Potter a) drunk and b) because that's what everyone else wanted to see and I wanted to hang with my friends.

I'll see what David and Margaret have to see about it as a movie (since I doubt either is a Hellblazer fan), but I'm really doubtful I'll waste the money on this piece of dreck.

Mind you, I haven't seen The Hulk, Daredevil, Troy, Electra or Van Helsing either. Guess that makes me a movie wanker.

I am thinking of catching The House Of Flying Daggers tonight at the George if it's playing at a reasonable time after work, tho'. That one looks much better - lots of shiny action without the wank associated with Keanu trying to pretend he's making something out there and meaningful (there's an interview with him that says as much, don't have it on me right now).

*nods* Sorry about the teasing, dude. The only one of those others I've seen is Troy and that was because it was a group of us going.

I'd live to see House of Flying Daggers, but I can't even think about heading down and joining you since I've got the Latin Exam of DOOM on tomorrow afternoo0n. :)

I knew you had Latin which is why I didn't email you and ask if you wanted to come. Besides, it was a spur of the moment decision this morning when I got up. "Hmm, think I'll see if the George is playing that and go see it on the way home." Whee, spontenaity!

As for the teasing... well, it's a sign of how much you guys mean to me that I did sit through those two movies. With minimal bitching out loud, I might add. But I don't make a habit of paying movie prices to see crap. ;)

Thanks. I went to training and then to the pub with Phil and a couple of others, after, instead. What is it with people called Phil and taking you to the pub and being a beer-inducing influence?
