Constantine

The movie was mildly enjoyable, about in the same league as Christopher Walken's The Prophecy sans hilarious dialogues and with a semi-annoying female lead.
Here come the customary bullet points )

I went over and read your old entry, so happy to find out what happened to Chas afterwards! But this is absolutely the first time I see a human dies and becomes an angel, totally bizarre.

The FERRET BOUNCING totally came to my mind the very instant I saw that scene!!! OUCH!!!

Best part of the entire movie:

Chas and Constantine walking into the hospital. There is some garbled spooky gibberish heard in the distance. Chas asks Constantine what it is. The reply (in a very serious Keanu-gravely voice) --

"Hellspeak."

I CRACKED up. My friend and I kept recreating that moment with one another for like two weeks after we saw it!

Man, I love Keanu Reeves.

Keanu Reeves makes everything multiple times funnier with that deceivingly grave tone of his, I really think he should stick to doing characters like Constantine and Neo, variety be damned :P

When are getting your HBP by the way :P?

Well . . . since you asked, my ass (along with the rest of me) is SO going to be at a Harry Potter midnight book release party at my local Border's on Friday. I really shouldn't be as excited as I am, but I'm practically bouncing at the thought. I hooked two of my other friends into going with me, and we're anxious to see if we really WILL be the oldest people there! Not that I care, since this event is going to enable me to stay up the entire night reading the book, so I can call all of my non-attendee friends first thing in the morning and threaten to tell them everything that happened.

After I'm done reading it, I'm giving that copy to my mom (who is a big fan herself at 63) and I'll get my shiny special edition version delivered to me on Saturday by Amazon.com:

PrettyThis whole thing feels like a national holiday, doesn't it? No, it’s possibly is better than a holiday. Holidays are usually pretty lame to me. This is the opposite of lame ( ... )

You've been dying to gush haven't you *lol*

I'm gonna be at my local borders with my two 'senior' friends too, I don't think we can out-age the daddies and mommies who are bound to be there for the sake of their children- not that I mind being where the rest of my age group isn't of course ;P

Just checked and your location means you'll get the book 3 hours before me!!! But haha, I've been completely (well, almost completely) spoiled so I'm not afraid of any spoilery phone calls/emails that might or might not come my way. And I can tell you this- there'll be NO unpleasant character death for you in HBP, unless you've hidden passion for certain unthinkable character(s) that I'm entirely unaware of. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The Pretty is worthy of my greatest envy!!!one!! How can you even touch it without feeling you've infringed upon something holy X-D!!!
