I know that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookslut.com\/blog\/archives\/2005_02.php#004505\">Jessa at Bookslut<\/a> thinks this movie is a the perfect example of Hollywood screwing up the source material and dumbing it down for the prepubescent crowd.  She probably has a point.  The <a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.nwsource.com\/html\/artsentertainment\/2002182043_comicswatch17.html\">Hellblazer<\/a> comics are set in London and John Constantine is blond, British, and a bit of a bastard.  The film is set in LA and John Constantine is&#8230;Keanu Reeves.  But it looks noirish enough to spark my curiosity.  As long as I don&#8217;t compare it to the comic, I think I&#8217;ll be happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new trailer for Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy looks like fun.
