Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Yes, because slack-jawed bewilderment and having to work to catch up to speed are SO qualities I associate with John Constantine.
This movie has demons all over the place, right? Couldn't it spark a wave of creepy supernatural happenings that drive people out of the business like The Exorcist did?

Preach it, Matt. The only time I remember JC being even remotely befuddled was when Morpheus tapped him to help retrieve his dust. Even when Constantine's in over his head, he usually KNOWS that going in.
If anyone knows what's going on, it's Constantine. And even when he doesn't know, he usually keeps up a front. I occasionally like Keanu, but casting him as Constantine is as wrong as casting one of the Olsen twins as Eleanor d'Aquitaine in A Lion in Winter.

AND Pauley Shore as Henry.

Ms Hepburn would rise from her grave in righteous wrath. Or I would act on her behalf.
Cheesiest movie lines:
1. "Titanic": Leonardo DiCaprio's "I'm the king of the world!"
2. "Dirty Dancing": Patrick Swayze's "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."
3. "Four Weddings And A Funeral": Andie McDowell's "Is it still raining? I hadn't noticed."
4. "Ghost": Demi Moore's "Ditto," to Patrick Swayze's "I love you."
5. "Top Gun": Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime."
6. "Notting Hill": Julia Roberts' "I'm just a girl ... standing in front of a boy ... asking him to love her."
7. "Independence Day": Bill Pullman's "Today we celebrate our Independence Day!"
8. "Braveheart": Mel Gibson's "They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!"
9. "Jerry Maguire": Renee Zellweger to Tom Cruise: "You had me at hello."
10. "The Postman": A blind woman says to Kevin Costner: "You're a godsend, a savior." He replies: "No, I'm a postman."
5. "Top Gun": Val Kilmer to Tom Cruise: "You can be my wingman anytime."
There was fic about this, right?
Aw, I sort of like "You had me at hello."
I like it because it spawned 'You had me at "let's gear up."'
I think "You complete me." is much cheesier.
