Saw a copy of Wizard magazine at Jim Hanley's Comic Universe this Monday. Well, two copies. One had the mass-market cover with Green Lantern stuff on it, for sale in general bookstores and stuff. The other cover caused me to frown in puzzlement.

"That's odd," I said to myself. "I don't remember any scenes in Goblet of Fire where Harry was surrounded by grabbing hands, or crossing a very narrow path across a pit. Have they added something to the maze scene?"

I got closer.

It was a shot from the movie Constantine. I had mistaken Keanu Reeves for Daniel Radcliffe.

They didn't call it Hellblazer. I don't have to believe in it. They didn't call it Hellblazer. It doesn't count.

...And with that, Og, happy new year's eve.

I think the yaks and the spectral voices have teamed up.

*sticks fingers in ears* LA LA LA this is not happening la la la la!

This is why I'm working on H:H on the trains on the way home. Better than letting That Movie seep into my brain.

Hurrah! Am very impatient for the next chapter!

Happy New Year.

Maybe some day Joss Wheadon will try Hellblazer, and cast James Marsters. That'd be good.

Seconded! I've been recognizing that you, unlike me, have a Life™, so haven't been pushing the issue, but I'm glad to hear there's been work on that front!

One can only knit on the train for so long before the urge to PICK UP THE GODDAMN PEN AND WRITE SOMETHING becomes overwhelming. Even if it is a sparkly green glitter gel pen.

I do hope no one minds that Madame Hooch is showing an alarming tendency towards Nanny Ogg-ism...

Is Madam Hooch going to break into a round of "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All" after drinking too much mulled mead?

[camwyn]

No, but she's just said "Professor, you look like a man who really knows his way around a broomstick," and she's been making complicated gestures involving elbows to the horrified Muggle Studies teacher. And she's been gawping at John's arse.

someone has to break into a round of "A Wizard's Staff Has A Knob On The End" at some point...

[camwyn]

I already put Rincewind into Diagon Alley in one of the earlier scenes. We'll see.

Oh, come on. You know after the Welcoming Feast the teachers all go and get drunk so as to start the term off right. That's why Snape is always so pissy the first day--he's hung over.

Somehow, that just doesn't work for me.

Maybe I just need to read more Hellblazer. :-)

Somehow, that just doesn't work for me.

James M can do that dark scarcasm that John does well,plus he can carry off the English accent properly, and can do the blond hair thing.

Constintine was actually modeled after Sting in the movie Brimstone and Treacle. Which is just further proof that Keanu Reeves as John is just wrong. I think James M could just do the proper attitude.

Anyone - anything would have been better than transplanting it to LA and giving it to Keanu. But like camwyn says. They didn't call it Hellblazer, I don't have to believe it.

Love your icon, btw.

Heck, it's got Keanu Reeves in the main role. It damned well doesn't count.

It helps, almost, to think of it as a very small, very bad AU. You know, the issue of Elseworlds where the writer got into a bad batch of blotter acid before he sat down with his pen.

But even that is granting it more legitimacy than it deserves.

There are Elseworlds issues where that didn't happen?

Taking the fiance to the movies to see Blade Trinity made me have to sit through the preview for it.

Going 'no no no no no' over and over does not endear you to the people near to you in the movie theatre.

(thankfully it was a matinee, and the only one near to me was my fiance, who I could tell to let me whimper and I'd shut up once the preview was over).

It just seems so ... wrong. Not just Keanu, but the way he was reacting to things, and the lines and ... so much more.

So I cheer for H:H - definitely a worthwhile distraction.

And Happy New Year :)

[genarti]

...Eurgh.

I figure, if we all pretend hard enough that it doesn't exist, maybe it'll go away.

*Reads*

*Is confused along with you, and then reads further.*

*Whimpers, and goes off to read to numb the pain.*

Hell, even if they had called it Hellblazer you wouldn't have to believe in it.

This movie couldn't find canon with both hands and a map.
