That's not the unfaintest praise.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

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

If I only had a brain...
I can't parse that, ita. My parser is broken. You broke it. Is it because I'm dead to you?
Nicolas Cage, I maintain, would have made a good Constantine because he can do the ravaged, shattered side of the man.
Yes. That's what I love about Constantine, when I love him, his utter brokenness.

Keanu. Playing Constantine.
Kill me.

Hasn't Marsters basically been playing Constantine since Spike got the chip? Certainly always felt in the same ballpark. Oh well, not a big enough name (and probably considered too old for the part - rolls eyes).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, Keanu turn 39 next week, so he's not that much younger.

I'd give a "whoa!", but it's been done.
I always thought he was younger than me. Huh.

Having as of late found myself channel scanning for Keanu as The Buddha, I feel I should be more scared than I am.
Perhaps it's the rosy glow of getting off work, or the that I'm faint from hunger, but the thought's just making me giggle.

Betsy, I could sure tell you what I meant to mean, but what I ended up meaning? Up for grabs.
I think I did too much work today. Must cut back on that.
Damn with faint praise ... two negatives ... okay I'm good -- he didn't actually say anything NICE about Keanu, did he?

I think he said Keanu is such a considerate actor, that he deliberately sucks at every role so the other actors can shine.

Just dropping by to let everyone know that the last regular Buffy comic arc kicks off with today's issue #60, the beginning of the four-part "Stake to the Heart" that deals with Joyce and Hank's divorce. Also, there is no input at all from Scott Lobdell, as Fabian Nicieza handles this solo.
