actually im going to agree with your point at numer 4. i found Angel was a multiple offender for rushing in without thinking and then winning in a below par fight scene when her really shouldnt. I cant actually think of scene to back me up here but i remember it happening regually.

Do you mean disagree? I suppose John only reminds me of Angel in the sense of the brooding, and the lack of explanations, and the efficient action.

Angel wasn’t as bad as Buffy in that respect, I seem to recall. In Angel’s case it was almost justified, because he could pretty much beat anyone.

Still, there was that time he tried to take on a nasty demon when he’d become a human, with no plan whatsoever. That was pretty dumb.

So Tom wants me to type stuff, well, I may actually use this to say something unimportant. I don’t like Angel, nor do I like Buffy. And no Constantine doesn’t remind me of either, except that he seems like a lowlife. I could do so much fun stuff with powers like his. ;)

I’m sorry for making you type things that you didn’t want to, Hayko…

There’s supposed to be a live comment preview going on above the box, as you type — can anyone else see it, or is it just me?

Drop the hallucinogens, Tom. There ain’t even nothing. Actually, in IE it works. Is that really what you desire?

yah Hayko. i agree with you. although, one point. i dont think Constantine actually had any powers. i think he was a regular human. and in my first point i did mean to write “disagre”.

Interesting. It works in my Firefox. And Safari. I wonder what the difference is between our Foxes. I’m using one of the nightly builds.

I agree with Matt. I didn’t spot Constantine having any special powers. Regarding any similarities the movie had to Angel — well, I’m used to seeing things that other people don’t. Perhaps I should go back on the meds.

It is fun, isn’t it? Not so useful, but lots of fun. Anyhow, it doesn’t work in Firefox 1.0, but it does work in the nightly builds. I’m using one of those currently and they’re pretty stable. You can get them at The Burning Edge.

I’m not sure what has changed. Anyhow, that Constantine film, huh? I’ve read some absolutely scathing reviews.

I didn’t mind Constantine.

I thought it was good and I enjoyed it a lot.

But it wasn’t your typical movie… if I hadn’t been expecting it to be good, I doubt I would have liked it at all.

Odd that. It usually works the other way.

That’s a good point. I was going in to enjoy it as well, I’d say.

There were a lot of people in our audience who weren’t into it at all! Which was irritating.
