Hellblazer started off with a minor character in Swamp Thing that basically was teaching him about himself/conning him across the country. It was later when the character's appeal was seen and was loaded into it's own series. Best idea that DC had. Launched the Vertigo line.

I don't have anything against Keanu except that he keeps getting put into roles where he just does not belong. He can't pull off Constantine. They should have taken someone who could. Hell, I could pull off Constantine better and I can't fake a British accent. Oh, the script sucks as well. It's a really poor substitute for the Dangerous Habits storyline (one of the drop dead best storylines there was for the character) and fails miserably. It tries to add in stuff from other issues and arcs and fails in that. I can shoot spoilers all day but bottom line is, it's a poor farce. Keanu just compounds the poor script. If it was a fantastic script than maybe he would work better, but.... >> strong authority that the movie not only sucks, but is one of those sucky >> classics that people will go to see just because it has keanu (whooh, I >> know occult). > > I personally don't have a problem with Keanu in general - I've liked a lot > of his stuff.

Carrey without the good mask script would have been a normal carrey overacting stinker. Instead it was a script that capitalized on his ability and limitations and made a great showing. >> The mask was a Jim Carrey vehicle and would have failed without him. > > Perhaps - but I don't see much a distinction.

I didn't think it was... am I crazy?) Officially somewhere over 500 issues. But then again, Jerry Lewis had a comic for over 100 as did Jimmy Olsen. Long runs don't really mean all that much. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145404 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
