Sex is what most people call the extreme feelings of ecstasy that come with dominance and pain.

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ooh really, that sounds nice. I must try it again sometime.

"why don't the geeky fanboys get a life and stop bitching about the cast?"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Outrageous! Without geeky fanboys (and girls) these people would be out of jobs.

I'm getting the picture James. The problem is that the movie OVER SIMPLIFIED and changed the HB universe for the popcorn munching audience. Keanu aint the biggest problem.

Hmm yeah, HBO. Think Deadwood. Bloody excellent. I could never eat while watching it.

I'd go with Spiderlegs's suggestion, forget this comic book shite. That's kid stuff. :lol:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha ha! Fabulous suggestions - I'm overwhelmed....

Thanks guys.

Me likey graphic novels - they're easier to read than books wiv too much werds in em.

I love John, but I really could've done without that opening picture. Or at least, I could've done with it drawn by someone who wasn't John Higgins.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Ooh no, I quite liked that opening pic (my very first intro to JC in HB!) Although I agree with the comments about Higgins style. He looks like a friggin bodybuilder.

 

Hmm the stinky comments...I imagine there's a permanent aura of ciggies around him but I imagine him not smelling all THAT bad. (Would shatter my illusions). But thinking about it he probably is quite hit and miss on the washing front considering his lifestyle and permanent jiggered mental state.

 

And yes Hmpf, I bloody hate clothes shopping. I wear stuff til it drops off me. I swear I am part bloke.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bollocks I must remember to LOG IN!!!!!! I'm such a tw*t.

Much obliged Jaynova...

Test 1: The Time Probe

Forget your silly pickup line. Ask her for the time instead. If she answers with anything other than the time, she's interested. The only exception is "I don't know"--but only if she's not wearing a watch.

 

Test 2: The Eye-Contact Probe

While you're talking with her, sustain eye contact for a fraction of a second longer than what feels natural. If she holds your eye, she's interested. If she looks away, she's not.

 

Test 3: The Wink Probe

If she makes a joke or someone else does something dumb, give her a wink and share the moment. If she relaxes or laughs, she's interested.

 

Test 4: The Body-Check Probe

Make eye contact, then quickly (in less than a second) pass your eyes down and up her body, then look back into her eyes. If she smiles when your eyes meet again, she's interested.

 

Test 5: The Compliment Probe

Pay her the kind of compliment a potential lover would make--it should be something personal but not overtly sexual. Also avoid the type of thing a friend might say; for instance, opt for "You have really great style" rather than "You have a really nice briefcase." If she smiles or thanks you warmly, she's interested. If she Maces you, she's not.

 

Try This Mind Game

If you know she's interested, tell her that the subconscious reveals a person's romantic feelings. Ask her to interlock her fingers as if she's making a gun, point it at you, and separate her index fingers as far as possible. Tell her that if her fingers slowly move back together, she's interested in the person she's pointing at. They will--they always do.

 

I'm prolly too awkward and retarded to know if a girl liked me or not. Serioulsy even if she blatantly said it out loud to me. I'd forget it mere seconds later, and still be confused.

 

The time thing sounds a bit iffy. I mean I doubt I could get it work, I'd prolly be a totall moron and be wearing my watch. While asking it. I can't do the winking thing. It's too cliched and lame. And only action heroes and James Bond can pull it off properly.. And unfortunatly. I'm none of the above..

 

But can chicks/ladies/whatever they prefere to be called. Confirm any of this. :lol:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well I'm also probably too crap to notice if any man is interested in me but for the record I like just being talked to casually and not cheesily. (yeah like I've been chatted up recently NOT!).

Actually I would love it if just once in my life someone would use the 'buying the drink for the lady at the end of the bar' trick on me. I think that would get me going.

And Pooka's right - smile. I do love me moody lone bastards as much as the next girl but it helps if they at least know how to exercise their facial muscles and not take themselves too seriously.

I think only someone like John C could get away with the fuck and the pizza line. LOL.

OK, I've read Haunted, I've just started Dangerous Habits, what should I read next? Start from t'beginning? or Original Sins? Or what?

Well, you see Inca and Pooka are having an abstain from sex contest, and Inca has a crush on a girl now, which has lowered his sexual defenses.

Fearing that Pooka will win the contest, Inca is now attempting to coerce Pooka into indulging in her sado-sexual fetishes with him, thereby making them both losers.

Now, perhaps Inca's strategy is to work Pooka into a sexual frenzy, as women are known to get into, and trick her into losing the contest. Or, perhaps Inca is just so hard-up that he's willing to fulfill his desires with a beautiful woman like Pooka. The mind of Inca is elusive even to me, his twin-brother with a different mother.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Blimey. Alles klar now, thanks Christian.

BTW...Sex? What's that?

Hellblazer shopuld never have been conceived as a blockbuster, it's been said before around here that a TV series, or mini-series, on the BBC would be better and more faithful.

 

But we do not look to Hollywood for faithful adaptations, do we?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, too right...it's interesting watching the extras on the DVD with various people saying how they realised people were going to be disappointed but still tried to capture the 'essence' of John.

I can kinda see where they're coming from - even the head of Vertigo comics was praising Reeves' performance. But comics fans seem rightly to have very high standards and were always going to feel let down unless John was at least blonde, British, and not Keanu Reeves!! I can definitely see HB as a gritty late night Channel 4 or BBC series - more intimate?

Also, at least the director should have been someone with an obsession with HB, like Peter Jackson with LOTR, not someone who hadnt even heard of HB!!!

You'd think so, wouldn't you? But then again, they managed to fuck up Alien Versus Predator (how? HOW?!?).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh dear, I liked that one too. I seem to be a crap judge of films.

Come on Selkie, let's form a little gang, we don't want to play with all these 43%ers anyway. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And what's wrong with being 43% gay? Eh? Eh? I'm nearly half gay and proud of it. Oh yes.

Well I did snog a woman years ago - just to see what it was like. Oh and there was that time....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LMAO!! I'm not so dark I cant laugh at myself.

You've come to the right place - check the show yr face thread. Our boys are delicious.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

We-e-e-e--e--ll...you ARE a gorgeous bunch aren't you??!! Oh yeah.

That sounds like a lot of denial, right there.

 

.....but found a new addiction which is quite possibly even worse.

 

I can't leave the dark side of life behind. I surround myself in it and live off the pain and misery. It draws me to it, and I can't help but look down, taking the plunge, falling ever harder and faster the more in control I think I am of it.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's very hard work being this much in denial all the time LOL. I too have smoked over the years every now and again and can take it or leave it. I just do it every now and again to get that naughty little buzz. Same with alcohol. But I'm always able to stop before I get too sucked in.

But, like you I have the same addiction to the dark side which I cant seem to kick. However, the older I get the less I care that I am addicted to it. It's what I like, it's where I feel comfortable, and bugger anyone who tries to tell me it's bad for me.

Yes, isn't it good to know that today you have been defined completely and no longer have to worry about such things as "why am I here", "what is my role in life" and "what has happened to all the biros I've bought over the past few years."

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well said. I am 43% gay. Apparently. Oh well.

Next fatuous quiz please.

I'm insanely competitive and there is no way in hell I'm letting Pooka beat me. Whip me maybe, but beat me never. :D

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I really am intrigued now. What the fuck is this all about??

This is a fascinating thread. I am eternally caught between two extremes.

On the one hand I am always fascinated by the seamy underside of life/drugs/overindulgence etc etc etc. I've always wanted to know what it's like to be off my face on heroin etc. But i know I'm an addictive personality so I've developed a disciplined addiction to a healthy lifestyle instead. Lots of exercise/a strict vegetarian diet...as I know if I let the facade slip I would descend into depravity. Which both fascinates and repels me.

....the up-coming halo movie and if they'll implement the first-person movie style for it. Not sure if it'll be a good or bad thing. Oh well, we'll see, they somehow got peter jackson(of the lord of the rings trilogy) to executive produce it, so may turn out to be good.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

OMFG..I've just died and gone to heaven - not only a DOOM movie but a HALO one too? Executive produced by Peter Jackson - ?? Too..much...good...news.... *dies*

I cannot go through life without a crush on someone - usually they dont exist in reality though.

It's easier that way.

The best thing I like about John is that it appears he doesn't change his clothes alot, and that makes me feel more okay about not changing my clothes that often and always wearing the same thing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I agree - (I tend to wear the same shit all the time) - a slightly less 'worthy' reason for liking Hellblazer but what the hell.

i still love the film altough the middle is slow, and i dont care about anyone :p

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Heh heh...yeah (after too much Jack Daniels Sunday night) despite all criticisms of 'Constanteen' (every one valid) the sight of Keanu Reeves looking pale, interesting and pained does it for me (I have no depth and will regret this post in the morning)...so there. (oh dear - everyone will be well pissed off with me now!)

I was in a long-term relationship with a crazy woman who would break up with me out of nowhere for no reason only to come back and start the thing all over again.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Ha ha ha sounds like my life from the last 8 years. I was with a man who would break up with me 'coz I was a vegetarian' or 'coz I'd been to see Pirates of the Caribbean one too many times' or...or...or...another fucked up reason. Heh. Who needs relationships?

Yes ladies, be nice or Christian will get misogynistic on your ass.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

LMAO!! In what way. I want details.

Yes, having soaked up a little of the essence of John Constantine it is becoming cringingly clear how badly the film makers were off the mark. I watched a little of it again last night and saw exactly what you mean. It really is a sorry watered down version of what it should have been - and I have still only read one novel so far. But the novels seem a lot lot darker. I kept imagining how good it could have been as a low budget 'gritty' version with a lot more nihilism woven into it. Like you say it would then appeal to the very audience it should be meant for.

Instead it has obviously insulted every Hellblazer fan worth their salt and chickened out, appealing to the lowest common denominator and going for the quick fast buck - as per bloody usual.

Hmm Kiefer Sutherland - good choice.

But never say you don't fancy Johnny Depp or they'll all start shouting at you. 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Johnny who?
