Music & Movies

I sense I'm in the minority here, but I actually enjoyed the LoEG - a bit frothy and ultimately insubstantial, but quite stylish froth, nonetheless.

I agree, psimagus. It was enjoyable, though no where near as good as the graphic novel on which it was based. It's the kind of movie I label "enjoyable fluff." Good snack, not too filling, not worth repeating very often (if at all).

Yeah - that sums it up I guess. I never read the original, but it's on my mental list to pick up if I see it going cheap/second-hand (I'm generally too mean to buy new books )

Personally I think that mustache on that mask (in V for Vandetta) looks kinda stupid, but then again, I never read it...

I liked The League of Extrordinary Gentlemen. I see nothing wrong with a movie that is just fluffy fun.

I liked The League of Extrordinary Gentlemen, the ending was corney and I never read the novel, so I guess I cant hold a strong opinion on it.

I agree about the mask but I, like you have not read it so whatever

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy LoEG, but really, after reading the graphic novels, I can't find it in myself to respect them.

oh did the movie makers ruin the book?

They took out the most interesting aspects of the graphic novel, and replaced them with fancy flim-flammery. Usual Hollywood stuff, really.

The movie makers ALWAYS ruin the book.

I disagree. Harry Potter's movie didn't ruin the book.

It was fun but...Keneth Branagh, Peter Gallagher, Kristen Davis (a female!), John Denver, ...[lots of guys after that]. I have to go down to 57% to get to Reese Witherspoon. I wasn't planing on a modeling career, but I will now have to go out and buy pink ribbons so people will know I'm a girl. *sigh*
