To my great disappointment, but not my great surprise, "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" sucked.
I'm trying to think of one thing they did right, and the closest I can come is "cast Sean Connery."

You should read the graphic novels. They, at least, are very good. :3

It's on my To-Do list.

That is an exceedingly cute picture in your icon by the way.

Disclaimer: I'm happily married, so I can get away with saying this without you having to worry that I'm saying so just to try to flirt you up for some reason. Just thought you might want to know.

Leslie, Jason. Jason, Leslie. I don't think you've had the pleasure of meeting each other, yet. Leslie's my friend from time immemorial. Jason's my buddy from College, even though that's not where I met him.

And yes, Leslie can be exceedingly cute.

Ah, I see Andrew's introduced us now. :3 Nice to meet you.

I wish you had told me you were thinking of watching it... I would have told you not to waste your time. It was awful. I want those hours of my life back.

Oh, I knew it was bad (hence the lack of surprise), just not *how* bad. It was something I needed to do. Like the big, red, "do not push" button.

On that note, have any movies I must needs see?

Go see 300 in the Theatres! Totally worth the money for the Big Screen. You liked Sin City... it's the same idea, taking a graphic novel by Frank Miller and making it a movie. But this is set in Sparta and AMAZING. :-)

Also, you would really like Stranger than Fiction. You should see that too. It was an excellent film. REALLY good. Surprisingly good.

Oh, I dunno, I didn't hate it that badly. Of course, I saw it a long time ago, back when it was in theatres...maybe I'd find it more wretched now.

On second thought, when I go back and look at the review I wrote of the movie after I saw it, maybe I did hate it that badly...

yes, I agree completely.
