 With his witty dialogue, ultraviolent action and perverse black humor like some kind of Irish Quentin Tarantino with a poetic streak, many of Garth Ennis' works are just ripe to have movies made out of them. Although he didn't create the characters, the 2004 Punisher movie, the upcoming Punisher: War Zone, and Constantine were all heavily based/influenced by his writing. One that wouldn't see the light of day, however, is the adaptation of his creator-owned title Preacher.
The 60+ issue comic series told the story of a young Texas preacher who embarks on a journey to find God—who has abandoned His duties—so he can give God a good spanking, with the help of his hitman girlfriend and their vampire best friend, all the while staying one step ahead of a Church who wants to replace the actual retarded descendant of Jesus Christ with a more capable Messiah. Yes, it's a f--king awesome comic.

 Obviously, a presidential administration is defined by a number of factors, many of them outside of the control of the president himself (will Bush’s term of office ever be thought of separately from 9/11?), but the character of the commander-in-chief contributes a great deal to the national mood, which, in turn, ripples through our media. It’s not hard to see Bush’s influence in projects as far-ranging as Saved (a parody of religious fervor), X2 (a bald-faced criticism of the Patriot Act), and Good Night and Good Luck (a somewhat feeble attempt to draw parallel between the modern era and the McCarthy hearings). But what influence would John McCain, the current Republican front-runner, have on our movies?
