Thoughts: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

I really, really, really wanted to like this movie. I guess we just don't always get what we want. Watching it again tonight I was hoping that maybe since my expectations were lowered I would like it more. Nope. I was just bored.

I could rant for a while about this movie. I was considering doing that earlier. But now I'm just kind of tired and don't really feel like spending a lot of time on it. I guess, basically my major complaints are that the plot was silly, the development of everything was silly, the special effects were silly, pretty much everything was silly. I really hated what they did with Hyde, those effects were just ridiculous.

I feel bad for this movie. It could have been so cool. And it tried so hard. It's a darn shame. Really it is.

About This Thing

This blog is about film and life in the wonderful world of LA. I'm a filmmaker just getting started; I'm navigating my way through the industry, trying to find work, and sometimes even managing to make a living.

I've worked across the country on projects big and small. Everything from an indie in PA shot during the dead of winter to one of the bigger reality shows involving Models and the things they do.

I also just love doing things*. I'm a writer, aspiring director, wannabe photographer and cook. I waste too much time on the internet and sometimes all I want to do is hang out with my dog.

Stick around and chances are you'll catch me writing about it all.

*I use the word "thing" a lot. An inappropriate amount. I can't help it. There are just so many different things to talk about. And I just kind of like it.
