The last Constantine I really liked, died 1290 years ago
I'm ever-so-slightly ashamed to admit it, since it's yet another reality tv show, pandering to television viewers, but my mom has me watching American Idol. At least it's better than ANTM, and Joe Millionaire. While I was away, she sent me reviews of AmId performances, and updates on who was in/out, and so now... I'm not hooked, mind you, but I follow the results, and we talk on the phone as they sing to conduct play-by-play evaluations. If that's not detachment, I don't know what is!
Honestly, it doesn't much matter to me who wins, but I have preferences and anti-preferences.
+: Anthony, Anwar, Bo, Carrie, Nadia

-: *Constantine*, Jessica, *Mikalah*, Scott (I am so sick of watching Constantine give his creepy, faux-sexy, flirty looks at the camera. Yick. Ooh! It's melting my heart! Oh, it's meltin somethin.)
Now, weren't you all dying to know my expert advice? Really, though, if Mikalah stays longer than 9:30 tonight, I'll be shocked.
Yes, and Constantine the movie (2005). Was Keanu Reeves really being tongue-in-cheek? I don't know if I really suspect him of wry irony, though that would certainly raise my opinion of him, quite a bit. No, I believe we just got our thousandth close-up of a dark, brooding, intelligent-yet-believably-cool Keanu, the only one who can save humanity from a vast evil. Our hundred-thousandth wideshot of Keanu wearing black. The devil was played tritely, as well. When did I first see Constantine? Oh, about 1992. Or was that another movie? I get them all confused. The one really redeeming quality of that movie, which everyone immediately knew that I would like, was the white outfit that Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) wears, all white, near the end. The tank top(s?), and the pants with the laces at the bottom. Lovely. That, and that alone, is what garnered Constantine such a high rating in my list.
