arralethe amd verlaine have added me as a pal, for reasons best known only to themselves.In other news:
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen not as crap as expected shocker!
Yes, some weaknesses such as plot and ropey CGI, but some unexpected strengths, such as Stuart townsends Dorian Grey and Captain Nemo (what's this, Hollywood - getting a real Sikh to play a Sikh character? What happened to James Mason?)
However, the best stab at steampunk I've seen on screen and only the drab Mina harker really let it down on characterisation.
Yes, the plot is bobbins, but when did you last go and see a 'blockbuster' for plot? I didn't find that prior knowledge of the plot was that great a weakness - as it made the film plot harder to guess in a way (although it's still pretty linear).
As for Kill Bill, I'll reserve judgement on that until I've seen the other half.

If you two *did* already know each other, the world would be entirely too small. That said, I reckon the two of you could well be prodded, with very little encouragement, into nefarious plotting over cards & red wine :)
