We're watching Constantine.
This is a terrible movie.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, I thought it was a movie that could have been fixed by changing a few simple things.
The first one, of course, being the casting of the title character.

Does this bear any resemblance to the comic? I mean, the story. I know how much they messed with Constantine himself, but is the story's incoherence because they fucked with a comic, or because it was written by inane Hollywood committee?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I saw "Sorority Boys" on opening day, and still have at least one poster.
Oh, MR, your sexy sexy self did have me in thrall for a while there.

"Caligula" is sickening, utterly worthless, shameful trash. If it is not the worst film I have ever seen, that makes it all the more shameful: People with talent allowed themselves to participate in this travesty. Disgusted and unspeakably depressed, I walked out of the film after two hours of its 170-minute length.
I think this means he missed the horse fisting.

The first one, of course, being the casting of the title character.
I think they used up all their casting mojo on getting Djimon Hounsou and Tilda Swinton.
I've heard people praising Peter Stormaire's performance, but I thought he was horribly miscast. Rossdale would have actually been a better choice for his role. (Though of course, competing with John Glover's and Viggo Mortensen's portrayals is never easy.)

Ain't that the truth? Tilda Swinton was fantastic.

At least he got a good meal from all that scenery he chewed.

It's not that that performance might not have been a good choice for another villain role, but my Satan shouldn't sound like he's going to break out with lines from Deliverance at any moment.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

See, I thought he was going to start singing Erasure.

Just got back from seeing The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green. I loved loved loved it - it hit exactly the same buttons for me as All Over the Guy except for not having the hunky lead sit next to me while I watched it at festival. I thought it was way better than I'd expected from an indie comedy based on an underground comic.
Highlights included Daniel Letterle as the fussy but likeable protagonist, David Monaghan kissing lots more guys to make up for Kerr Smith's reluctance, Joel Brooks and Richard Riehl (Buffy's first Watcher) as cross dressing couple The Hat Sisters, Diego Serrano frequently in little to no clothing, and Meredith Baxter quoting Old Dirty Bastard and telling her son "Come over for dinner next Tuesday honey. And bring your fuckbuddy!"
