    Nice to see Luke Chueh here, if not a little unexpected. His work is one example of being both rock-solid art, but earnestly salable (as opposed to a regular sellout fine art whooore).

    Awesome. Just awesome. Is the cat at the top of the mouse/cheese hill doing the rock out sign or the supposed Diablo sign. I always got told (being metal through and through), that this sign was never the sign for the devil, but infact spanish for Bull. I think Dio was the one who said it in an interview about how it caught on from one of his gigs. Im not saying its true or right. But has anyone else ever heard of this story???

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): There is a small separatist nation inside of the United States; it is called Texas. They would claim they coined the gesture, and in between barbecue pork belches, they say WHOO HOO HOOK 'EM HORNS while doing that horn-thing. Yep.

    @AmishJohn: Trues, beef for certain. My tasty-barnyard-good-eats geography was off. I think it was my inner neanderthal expressing his repressed bbq bloodlust, because he is not allowed to eat greazy terrestrial creatures anymore.

    How is it possible that you people all still have to go through the derivative check list with every single movie that is ever mentioned on here before you've seen it? What purpose does it serve? Do you just want other people to know really bad that you've seen other films?

    I'm not saying hollywood isn't a fetid pool of copy cat horseshit pussies afraid to try anything new, but the same old fucking song and dance every single time gets tiresome. "this is just x." "i liked this better when it was y."

    Give it a rest.

    @lukeoneil47: I don't believe that was the sentiment Woerner was going for. She was simply saying that based on what she's seen, it reminds her of Constantine. I know where she's coming from; before I read the rest of the post I was going to comment that "this movie seems to be all the parts of Constantine that I liked." I'm not saying it's ripping off Constantine, or complaining that it's not original. It's just that this reminded me of other things. I'll still see it and judge it on its own merits.

    The Prophecy is the definitive take on this but good GRIEF this looks fun and the cast is great. Doug Jones, Paul Bettany, Denis Quaid, Cameron Black (The kid from American Gothic), the guy who played Keamy on Lost.
    And yes it looks like The Prophecy and Demon Knight and Supernatural but it also looks FUN. I'm sold.
