I've been looking so long for these pictures of you...

So in the lobby of Geek Central, near the elevators, is a big blue board that has pictures of all the new-ish employees. When I started here back in September, I got my photo taken for inclusion on this board, which I knew they only changed about once every six months

OK

So, I am a Keanu fan, so that probably helped. But I really enjoyed the movie, and may go see it again if and when Rachet is back in Columbus among us and wishes to go.

Yes, the fellow playing Satan was great (as he was in Fargo). Tilda Swinton can always be counted on to have a twisted role, and she was great as well, for the 15 minutes of screen time she had. But I'm also a fan of Rachel Weisz, so liked her as well.

But then, I even liked Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, with Kevin Costner. I didn't care that he didn't have an English accent, I was just into the movie.

But I can also watch some very awful movies, especially if they're deliberately B movies, and get a kick out of them. But I don't like everything, hated Summer of Sam for example. Ick.

Anyway, off the box. Later all

I'm a Keanu fan, too. And I didn't mean to imply that I hated the movie. As I said, it wasn't bad. I just didn't feel it was particularly inspired. It didn't really inspire any emotional reactions in me. And what else do we have to go on, really? :-)

And I have a soft spot for Prince of Thieves, too. Except for the part where his dad gets killed, because he looks like MY dad, and it freaks my shit out, man.

I feared when I hear that Keanu Reeves was cast in that movie. I mean he's pretty and everything, but the guy couldn't act his away out of a paper bag!

I was looking forward to it being a huge fan of the comic books, but alas I fear I'll only be disappointed. The comic book is brilliant - I highly recommend it!

This makes me fear what might be done to Neil Gaiman's work after the butchering of Alan Moore (From Hell and LXG) and now this. Damn Spider-man and X-Men for starting this revolution!

[madlori]

But Spiderman and X-Men were good adaptations. And Hellboy was good, too. I rather liked From Hell the movie, although that comic is such a work of staggering genius that it could never be fully realized on screen.

Imagine Hellblazer with Jude Law. Constantine is supposed to be British, after all. Wow.

[rainpuddle13]

I think my problem is that I have this idea of how John Constantine should look, sound and act that it would be difficult for me to even give it a chance.

Don't get me wrong - I really enjoyed X-Men and Spider-Man, but I'm not really a Marvel girl. I'm much more a DC and especially Vertigo kinda gal. I just wish DC could hook up with a director that loves the material like Sam Rami and Spider-Man. That was a match made in heaven.

Unfortunately the comic book collection at work is Marvel heavy although we just had someone donate an almost complete run of Hellblazer so I was in heaven! I curate (for the lack of a better word) a mid-size comic book collection in a university special archives.

I collected X-men, Spawn and Lobo comics but never Hellblazer. I wish I did now. Grandma is a BIG Keanu fan. When she is feeling better I will have to take her to see it.
