Fucking. Braindead. Broken-headed. Fuckwitted. Studio-plant. Mongs.

I will hunt them down and piss on them and their entire fucking families. Heretics! Liars!

i followed that link and just found a mostly-positive review of Constantine... is there some Preacher-related news on there somewhere i missed? i don't see how a positive review would get you that worked up?

Where did you get the fact it will only cover the first 7 issues from (mentioned in an earlier post)? this seems like a strange point to me, as although it would be essential to cover the developments of the first four issues, the "reaver cleaver " storyline was far from being a high-point (i thought) and doesn't add much to the plot, apart from telling us that Cassidy's choice in friends leaves something to be desired of course.

i'll play cass in the film by the way, yeh bastards.

I don't know how true it is, but AICN has a notorious reputation for putting up gushingly positive 'reviews' of upcoming films by studio insiders. Trouble is, once something like that becomes apparent, every positive preview or review from an anonymous source gets branded with the 'studio plant' tag. May or may not be true, but it's hard to trust.

The project has been long in gestation and I remember at one point that it was essentially going to be the first trade give or take a few elements and that Garth Ennis was overseeing this to make sure it 'worked' at the very least on paper before Hollywood had a go.

[i]Constantine[/i] is a fucking abomination. Note that neither of the reviewer knew anything much about the comic and what they say about Keanu's character. It's a massive crock of fucking shit, a Grade A hack job. If they wanted to make a film about a paranormal investigator, why not just invent one? Why take a great character, shit all over him and strip away everything that makes him what he is?

A shower of fucking arseholes, indeed.

Re. the plot of [i]Preacher[/i], Garth has said many times that the screenplay is basically a tarted-up version of the first storyline, however, I always forget the first trade includes the NY story with Si so yeah, you're right in that regard - it should consist of the first 4 issues, not 7. Naturally, that means no Annville, no Grail, no Starr (sorry Vem), no Humper-dido-doo!

Finally, I already bagsied Cass and I will rip the fucking throat out of any bastard that tries to claim otherwise. Capicé, yeh silly bollocks?

Just try it, just fucking try it...

I like the cut of your jib, madam but can you swear like a trooper? That, along with the ability to look both incredibly uncool and amazingly cool at the same time is essential for Featherstone...

best Cassidy moment.. he walks into a diner just after the Saint has killed everyone in there. the Saint asks him politely if he'd be good enough to tell him where Jesse is, Cassidy says "no point mate, you'wont be able to hear me. You'll be too busy screamin' yer fuckin' head off when i'm pullin' yer gut out through yer arsehole, fuckin' BASTARD!"

or maybe that bit when the mafia guy has been torturing him by keeping him in a concrete pit and shooting him with a rifle every now and then, and jesse turns up and throws the mafia guy in the pit with cassidy. "How're yeh?" Cassidy is the coolest character by far, by the time it got to the end i was hoping he would kick jesse's self-righteous face in.

The Matrix was low(er) budget and they had to use very trick in the book to get some great effects going, Hong Kong style. The big budget Matrix 2 and 3 were shite so don't give up hope yet :lol: Does it say if Garth Ennis writing the script and if Steve Dillon is doing the art direction? that's all that matters..

Yeah, that's right Jules, good calls :angry:

bloody Preacher clique paying no attention to me... :)

Hmm, well there's just the effect for Genesis and maybe a few spirit in the sky type things and lots of pyrotechnics, the red eyes and some makeup for the vampire and arseface. I reckon it could work on that budget.

Pah. Okay. I'll play Jesse. I just hope Sabre is a looker.

1) You must be fucking joking - or maybe I've just been toning it down too much on here. I was the one drafting 'Justice for "cunt"' campaign letters to DC...and explaining them to my mum.

2) I'm a goth, that goes with the territory, mate. :D

(You're spot on about 'Constantine' though, I've been saying that all week - invent a new character, don't buy a license and balls it up with pointless rewrites!)
