I can't even.

I was prepared to give Keanu the benefit of the doubt, although yeah, someone like Clive Owen would have been much better casting, but these tidbits?

Now helmed by music video director Francis Lawrence, whose credits include the Aerosmith videos "Jaded" and "Don't Want to Miss a Thing," as well as Pink's "Just Like a Pill," Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" and Britney Spear's "I'm a Slave 4 You," the film has a new look and feel.

"Constantine" is expected to fetch a PG-13 rating, therefore a lot of the darkness will likely be insinuated instead of acted out

Not very encouraging. Also, wtf?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wouldn't it be funny, if it sucked and it wasn't even the casting's fault?

Wait, no, not funny.

Dammit.

INSINUATED DARKNESS????

They need a PG-15 rating, or something.

That should probably be in the Buffy thread, marty.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

They need a PG-15 rating, or something.

Well, we knew it couldn't be entirely true to the source material without getting an NC-17, what with the prison rape and razor-spitting priests and cannibalism that popped up occasionally in the comics.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I don't know Kiki's Delivery Service. What is it? And I can't get upset about Mulan II because Disney has a long tradition of doing straight to video sequels to their big animation movies.

And of those music videos the Constantine director did, I only recognize Britney's and Justin's, but I liked both of those. And in Justin's at least, there was definitely some insinuated darkness. There was only insinuated sex in Britney's. But it was insinuated very clearly. Both were very stylish, though.

But then again, I'm not familiar with Constantine, either.

Kiki's delivery service is one of Hayao (Princess Mononoke/Spirited Away/Castle in the Sky) Miyazaki's films. I think it was the one before Mononoke, but it might have been before Castle too.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

But a live action Kiki? You realize this means a cgi or animatronic Jiji...

Did anyone link to the Batman Begins Superbowl spot? Well, if so, watch it again. It's kewl.

I love the "Does it come in black?"

Does terrible things to my insides.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

ita, bless you for that link. I just watched all the trailers several times. They give me a happy.
