Umm...not sure what the point of your message was, but I'm assuming it's about the movie "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." I just got back from seeing it and lemme tell ya folks, it was one of the worst movies of the year. So boring I nearly walked out. I plead with you to not see this movie.

Yeah... because it was so cryptic :rolleyes

In any case, this sucks. I actually wanted to see this movie. Now they only way I'll watch it is if someone tells me Mina Harker gets naked.

crash0814 Jul 13th, 2003 12:53 AM

Well, it was cryptic enough for me not to understand it. Does that make me stupid? And no, she doesn't get naked, or even scantily clad.

Jixby Phillips Jul 13th, 2003 02:00 AM

HE SAID HE FUCKING SAW THE MOVIE YOU RETARD >:

FUCK JUST STOP TYRING TO READ >:

crash0814 Jul 13th, 2003 02:18 AM

Sorry. Had a blonde moment. I get it now.

Jixby Phillips Jul 13th, 2003 03:41 AM

Fucking... God I hate people that say "I had a blonde moment." FUCK that is so obnoxious. JUST STOP >:

I don't care that your avatar is the best album in the world, just shut up >:

Jixby Phillips Jul 13th, 2003 03:42 AM

Oh shit, you're from frownland?

I'm sorry I yelled :(

Do you know a guy by the name of Mark Peterson? :)

crash0814 Jul 13th, 2003 05:25 AM

1. Yeah, I know, I hate that expression too, but I use it anyway, because I can't think of a better way to acknowledge that I said something really stupid.

2. Yes, Doolittle is the best album ever.

3. Frownland is the name of a Captain Beefheart song. I don't know if you caught that or not, so I threw it in.

4. Mark Peterson? Never heard of 'im. Probably a pop-culture reference I didn't get.

5. What in the blue hell is up with your webpage. Being a fan of random, weird humor, I thought it was hilarious but I had no clue what it was supposed to be.

I saw "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" yesterday, and boy did it suck. The good news is that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. The bad news is that I thought it was going to be REALLY TREMENDOUSLY OUTRAGEOUSLY FUCKING BAD.

To anyone who is thinking about going to see it, you'd be MUCH better off buying the comic by Alan Moore instead. It'll cost you more, but you'll get FAR more out of your money. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Should I buy it with Watchmen too?

Protoclown Jul 13th, 2003 03:34 PM

Most DEFINITELY. In fact, "Watchmen" is better.

Rongi Jul 13th, 2003 03:42 PM

Awesome. I put them in my shopping cart, but probably won't be able to purchase them till tommorrow or Wednesday :(.

Can't wait :o

Protoclown Jul 13th, 2003 03:45 PM

I will be expecting a full report on how much you enjoyed them. And trust me, you WILL.

My recommendations? NEVER WRONG.

El Blanco Jul 13th, 2003 04:30 PM

I'm sure the sequal will be much better.

Rongi Jul 13th, 2003 06:10 PM

Sir yes sir :o

When are the next volumes coming out?

Protoclown Jul 13th, 2003 06:28 PM

Well, the second series of the League is already coming out, 5 of the 6 issues have been released, and I believe the last one comes out this month or the next.

I doubt they'll have anything past that though, as rumor has it that some of the League members die in this one.

I haven't read the 5 issues that are out for the second series yet, I kind of like to read them all in one sitting. I imagine the trade paperback collecting them will probably be out early next year.

Zero Signal Jul 13th, 2003 08:29 PM

Connery's character (Allan Quartermain - only Richard Chamberlain is allowed to played that >: ) sums up the movie in one of jis own quotes IN the movie.

"I'm waiting to be impressed."

:lol

Ninjavenom Jul 13th, 2003 08:59 PM

Grazzt sent me the first three League issues, and they're pretty neat. But... who the fuck is Dorian Gray? Rather, what was his legend?

Protoclown Jul 13th, 2003 09:39 PM

I've never read "The Picture of Dorian Grey" myself, but I'm at least vaguely familiar with the Oscar Wilde story. It's about a guy who doesn't age, rather he has a portrait that ages in his stead. As far as I know, in the book he's not immortal like he is in the movie.

As for the comic, I believe there is a background panel reference to Dorian Grey in one of the issues, but that's it. He's not in the comic, nor is Tom Sawyer.

Quartermain should have said that in the movie.

I don't know, I think something else might be bothering you about the movie... Mr. Hyde. :resemblence

I'm making fun of how ignorant people will hear you're from somewhere and think you might per chance know somebody you know from there, as if the place you come from is as big as a high school or something.

Really? I meant for it to come off as a Hamtaro fanfic site. :( But you thought it was funny, huh? :( :( :(

:(

AChimp Jul 15th, 2003 12:30 AM

Thanks for the link, Proto. I will be buying that when I order my D&D 3.5 books. :)
