I’m wet… No, really.

I think the consensus is that the attending peeps will actually be familiar with the blonde one. As opposed to the “sorry, John who?”

If the party is rubbish though I can go and stand rubbing myself in front of homelesses with my big dirty coat wrapped around me and a vacant stare.

In my mind, if you don't have antennae, whether coathangers or space bug, you're not sci fi. According to Wikipedia different denominations of sci fi have been identified so that it's not such a blanket term covering everything from Klaatu to Mr Ed. But the host set the precendent by announcing he was dressing as the Crow, so it's like, geek out. And it would take more than a scruffy trenchcoat to make a dirty old man of Bell, in more than spirit anyway.

You should go as Swamp Thing. Or, even better! Go as Giant-Sized Man-Thing. Featuring Howard the duck.

We don't talk about the Constantine film. Even if it's fantastic, it will still make me want to weep in utter annoyance. Way to alienate the potential Hellblazer-reading audience, you film-making shitbags. They should have just made it a completely different concept, with no mention of John Constantine, as the whole thing is so far removed from all the stuff that makes Hellblazer neato. Neo Thodore Constantine: 'Whoa! Hell, and, like, stuff...dude...' Graaaaaaangggggggg!

Although I'll concede this incarnation is a tad too effete to suit Bell.
