The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Rather than re-type something I already wrote I figured I'd just repost what I put up on goth.net:

I haven't read the graphic novel by Alan Moore, so I can't compare the two, though judging by the reputation of Mr. Moore and the reverence with which he's held by such superb authors as Neil Gaiman I'm pretty sure that his graphic novel was a damn sight better than this movie.

There's not really all that much that I can say about it. It looked very impressive from the ads and trailers that I'd seen, and that's definitely one of the aspects where it did deliver... visuals. It's stylistically gorgeous, unfortunately the beauty seems skindeep in this case.

( Possible Spoilers )

It was entertaining enough, but ultimately it felt a tad blah, especially after having seen Pirates of the Caribbean a mere two days earlier on Wednesday night which kicked ass and delivered on all counts and went way beyond my expectations.

Given the choice I suggest going to see Pirates a second time over LXG.

Another One Bites The Dust

Just found another dead mouse stuck on the gluepad that was under the cooker. So that brings the current tally to 6.

Ugh. Smelly bastard too. And the biggest one we've caught to this day.

I'll be rebaiting the snap-trap later if only to see if that was the last one. I hope it is, I'm so fed up with this.
