allanaWe saw Constantine this morning. Now, before ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madandy scratches my eyes out... I should point out that I've only read one Hellblazer graphic novel :P It was okaaaay, I guess. But even from the little I've read, it was clear that they'd raped the canon extensively. And poor Rachel Weiss--her attempt at an American accent was horrible. I hope they don't do a sequel... (unless they stick a Brit in the lead-role and do it properly). Still, the effects were good and I didn't scream or hide too much at the actual film. The trailers beforehand were horrible. I shan't be watching The Cave or The Amityville Horror, or indeed whatever film it was where everything was made from wax. Is it too much to hope that people won't stick a bunch of needles in trailers?
Andy had a look over my challenge fic today, and I'm feeling much more positive about it now. It almost works as it currently stands, but I've thought of a few additions which should perk it up even more :D Thank fuck for that, I was about to bin the damn thing.
Aside from going to the cinema and doing a little writing, today has been mostly been a cooking day. Have just popped some stuffed peppers into the oven, and either later on, or tomorrow, I'll be baking Makowiec, a Polish poppy seed cake. I buy one every so often from the local deli and while they're good, they've been going downhill recently. Hence me attempting it myself. If I make another one, then I'll have to invest in a poppy seed mill--I've spent all afternoon grinding seeds. The food processor can't cope with them, and a mortar and pestle isn't much better. Still, it smells good so far!

Date: 2005-04-09 06:59 pm (UTC)I am waiting patiently for Star Wars. Also Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, if only to see Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka.
My sister has also gotten me excited about Howl's Moving Castle, and anime movie from the same studio that made Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, both of which I highly recommend.

Date: 2005-04-09 08:22 pm (UTC)Raped the canon? Not hardly. Assraped it sideways with a chainsaw without lube is what they've done.
Bah.
I give up with cinema. or Hollywood, at least...it's all just such a colossal waste of time these days.
