It's kind of like Constantine in that it's an enjoyable movie if you put the source material out of your mind and see it on its own terms.
Not knowing the comics, I liked Constantine a lot.
*rummages around for topic*
I bet Dean would like Constantine, and would lust after that big golden gun thing, but Sam would pick the hell out of it, for general inaccuracies and also because he had in fact read the comic.
Yeah, never read the Constantine comic, so mostly I just loved the hell out of it. I dig Keanu when he's broody and sort of monosyllabic. Also, Rachel Weisz is hot.
Sam would totally pick it apart, too.
Edited because I have teh dumb.
Dear heaven I miss Travis McGee.
Bev, one of my friends got me into them while I was in Peace Corps. I think I've read almost all of them... I own
The Deep Blue Goodbye
and
The Dreadful Lemon Sky.
What a fascinating mix of adventure, violence, environmentalism, anti-establishment, and a whole lot of "girls" bedded, respected and yet on pedestals.
MacDonald was an unpleasant companion, from what I've heard. But he had a heart that encompassed the entire globe and every species on it. He wrote a nonfiction book called The House Guests about his family's dogs, cats, a pet goose, and random wildlife around his homes. His observer's eye was as sharp picking up personality traits and interaction in the animals as he was in human interactions. I don't just miss Travis and Meyer, I miss MacDonald.
Cute news: Supernatural was the $1,000 clue in a category called The CW on today Jeopardy!, which was part of the Teen Tournament. Wound up being the very last clue of the round, too.
Yay!
Do you remember how they described it to get the question, "What is Supernatural?"
Something like "Two brothers have to fight vampires, [something], evil clowns (seriously!) on this ... [blah de blah]." So cool.
That is hilarious that they included the evil clowns.
Okay, this is only funny in the word form because when I see clowns, I believe the evil. Everybody doesn't love a clown.
