  1. Um, hi, I'm Angelique. I'm a college student, studying History and Literature to do God only knows what when I grow up. No, I don't want to teach, so don't ask. I've all but liquified my brain with bad horror movies and merdiocre sci-fi novels, but so far my professors haven't caught on. I'm addicted to Coca-cola, comic books, movies, and music, eidt: and "normal non-comic book reading"(which I don't get to do anymore 'cause bastards assign 300-400 pages of reading a week PLUS homework) so I eat a lot of ramen noodles and pay for things with pennies more often than I probably should.

  2. Rambling Man,

     

    Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

    Trying to make a living and doing the best I can

    When it's time for leaving, I hope you'll understand

    That I was born a rambling man

     

    When I was little I thought it said "Lord, I was born to Ed McMann" To this day I don't know why...

  3. for JMC's sake I think we need to embrace this place, if it makes him happy, then its worth it, since he puts all the work in for us :D

     

    Oh don't worry, I've already embraced. I deleted the old link from my favorites, and for a while I was giving Rogan a run for his money as far as the mass posting goes. I like the new place, I'll just miss the old. I think that's probably how most people will be, I mean everybody seems to appreciated that anything that makes JMC's life easier as far as the forums go is a good thing, and I haven't seen anybody run screeming yet just because the boards look a little different now.

  4. I think that would spoil the mystic of this new place, its scarey

     

     

    Aww, but what's scarier than an old place? Packed to the rafters with bizzarre flotsam and creepy skeletons. Inhabited by ghosts that nobody's seen for years, full of dusty corners that haven't seen the light of day in longer than anyone can remember....

     

    damn it, now I'm homesick!

  5. ahem,

     

    I believe the current incarnation of the Constantine movie betrays both the spirit and the storyline of the comic.

     

    By pursuing a PG-13 rating I believe Warner Brothers is misleading people who will watch the movie, like it (since they're 13) and then find out that they aren't even legal to buy the real books. At the same time they're disenfranchising the loyal readers who expect to hear John curse and swear and just generally betray himself as the bastard he is. You know WB will decide to make their Keanu Reeves character the good guy, but one of the most fascinating parts of Hellblazer has always been the fact that John Constantine really is an anti-hero. He saves the day occasionally, but usually with a bodycount. He's a self-centered bastard who uses people and tends to get them hurt.

     

    By making John American, I believe that Warner Brothers have made us (americans) look bad ONCE AGAIN (and it's not like we need any help) by essentially stating that we selfrightouse imbecils won't watch a movie unless it's about us (if I could, I'd point out to them the success of movies like "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," "Trainspotting," or for that matter "Snatch" (which WANTED to be British). I might also point out that as far as their hormone driven teenage girl market goes, girls like accents! Look at how much mileage James Marsters got out of a fake one.) They've damaged the spirit and the storyline by refusing to accept what an integral part John's nationality and his political beliefs have played in the comic. They've also killed some of the color, some of the life. Hellblazer loses some of its mystery (to those of us who still romanticise London) when it is transplanted into the very modern (in my opinion very un-magical) city of Los Angeles.

     

    fuck it, I'm tired of being rational. I don't like it, they're screwing with something that I love and it makes me VERY ANGRY.

  6. And somehow that reminds me of a Voltaire song...

     

    Future Ex Girlfriend lyrics

     

    Saw you on the street

    we had to meet

    I thought I would greet you

    In just one week I would delete you

     

    People say the stupidest things

    On their first date like

    "What's your real name?"

    They reveal their ignorance

    but you adore them

    So you just ignore them

    Then came you raising the bar

    Oh, you, you won't be undone

    I looked into your eyes

    And much to my surprise

    I saw there was nothing in there

    'Cuase there's nothing

    between your ears but air!

     

    There goes my future ex girlfriend

    She's as sweet as a rose

    Yes, she is

    She has such beautiful lips

    Now, if only they were closed

     

    I love how you adore me

    Oh, but honey how you bore me

    Your life's such a wreck

    I've lost all respect

    I don't mean to surprise you

    It took me just one week to despise you!

     

    And I don't care that you're a model

    'Cause let me say it's clear to tell

    that your brain is shot to hell

    And no one cares that you love Keanu

    Oh, what's the difference anyway

    Everybody knows that he's gay

    Okay, I really don't know that

    But let's face it

    He's too hot to be straight!

     

    There goes my future ex girlfriend

    That girl's such a prize

    Yes, she is

    She'll be the Queen of the world

    for a day or two in my eyes

     

    Perhaps I'll wear a suit

    When I give you the boot

    Oh, I hate to seem so superficial

    I just think i'll look more official!
