( Now the picture meme )

Constantine, my Constantine

Oh no. Oh dear god, no.

I could stare at Keanu Reeves for days and days but I'm sorry, John Constantine he is not. Why haven't I heard about this before now? Was everyone too afraid to tell me? My beloved J.C. is now from Los Angeles? And a brunette?

Maybe I can go to the movie and pretend it's a different character. In a different comic book. Preferably one I've not read. Or even heard of.

UPDATE: Okay, this image and a quick poke around on the Straight to Hell site there makes me feel a teeny weeny bit better about the whole thing, but jesus, why can't movie-makers just stick with the damn comic?
