Spike ,'Sleeper'
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.
The Constantine ad says to me "Matrix meets Devil's Advocate." Which sounds like I'd like it, but not that it would necessarily be good, per se.
Heh. Yes, this.
Mostly, I hope the script is at least marginally better than the trailers VO, which is sucktacular even by comic-book-movie-trailer standards.
Now that I have gotten my 76-years-old-and-not-media-savvy mom to join Netflix, we are having some very interesting conversations.
That's a cute story about your mom. I think someone should write a paper about netflix and how it changes the ways people interact with movies. I don't use their new 'friends' feature (I don't care for it) but my friends and I will email each other weird or nostaglia-inducing things we find on it and it's a lot of fun. Plus, it's given me access to things I never would have seen before and I'm watching about three movies a week. I don't know if everybody has the same experience, but it's swerved my life a little bit.
I think that Jack Davenport could have made a good Constantine. He can do world weary and he can do a British accent (what with being from Suffolk and all). OK, he's not blond, but if there's any kind of good left in the universe Keanu won't be either.
I don't see the razors in Jack Davenport. Or, well, I haven't. That's why I like CKR so much.
I'd give Alexis Denisof a shot too.
Clive Owen would have been a good Constantine, as a bleached blond.

I think I saw a hint of them in Ultraviolet. Small hints, in an ocean of angst.
Oh, I'd be looking forward to an AD Constantine, too. CKR wouldn't be bad at all -- and physically he's the closest person I've heard suggested.

Damn. That reminds me that I taped Ultraviolet lo these many months ago when it aired on Sci-Fi, and I still haven't watched it. This is why I have to see things in real time.
Jack Davenport is totally the wrong class. He'd be laughable.

As opposed to Keanu?
Last week I watched Chupacabra on Sci-Fi and noticed John Rhys-Davies appeared to be the only professional actor in the cast. The week before that I watched Larva also on Sci-Fi and realized I had no idea how heavily a writer could rely on the idiot plot to advance his story. I really should try to get out more.
Edit: typo.
