We've already started on Die Hard and Terminator and the Star Wars OT and Alien and Gremlins and Jurassic Park and Men In Black... heck, even 2001 has a sequel.   

We're swamped!

Yeah, imagine the outcry if they made a movie about an American superhero like Batman and the entire cast was British except for Katie Holmes and Morgan Freeman!   Oh, wait...

Fine, to be completely accurate the cast of Batman Begins is mostly from the UK... "British" excludes Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson.   But anyway.

It's a tricky thing, adapting a work from another medium into a movie - it's entirely possible to keep all the wrong parts and lose the important ones, we can all cite examples of that.   

But I can't see how being blond and British would have made any significant difference to the Constantine character.   Maybe it mattered in some way in the comic, but it didn't matter at all to the story the movie was telling.   

Besides, it was Keanu's signing on to the movie that got it greenlit, it wouldn't have existed without him.   Watching Keanu walk around with bleached hair would have been a major distraction, and his attempt at a British accent in Coppola's Dracula is still being talked about so it was a good call that he didn't try that again.

I live in an abandoned NORAD bunker surrounded  by partially decommissioned nuclear warheads that leak glowing green fluid.   Most of my body parts have been replaced with steel and silicon, and my few remaining biological components are kept in a state of permanent vigor via regular doses of blood plasma distilled from the corpses of the hapless fools who come  seeking the source of my decoy radio beacon that broadcasts an automated message of false hope.

Oh, sorry - I meant to post this in the Introduce Yourself thread.

BTW, I do have to admit that I learned something new from this episode of DIF...   I knew Kirk had a brother Sam who died on an outpost planet, because there's a whole original series episode about that.  But I sure never knew that was supposed to be Sam's car that Kid Kirk dropped off that cliff.   

I thought the car - and the voice on the phone  - belonged to Kirk's mom's new husband or boyfriend.    Which I liked, because that REALLY made Kirk a bad kid.     Stealing his brother's car doesn't seem like nearly as big a deal.   

So how are we supposed to know that's his brother?  Does he call him Sam?  Are we sure it's Brother Sam?  And how does Kirk's brother afford an antique car like that, did he invent Slusho or what?

You're not the first person to suggest Preacher is worth a look, if I ever get 'round to sampling a comic then Preacher is very high up on a very short list.

Actually, now that I think about it there was somekinda Firefly comic on the coffee table at Teague's place last time I was over there, I read the whole thing while waiting for showtime.  So that makes three comics I've read.
