...nope.... I'd hoped to, but we've (only!) got two Televisions, and my parents were in both rooms watching WWTBAM. Which was handy.. emoticon

No doubt it'll be repeated, and/or summarised, possibly..?! emoticon

Oh... 'Five' were meant to have Frankenstein Unbound on yesterday, but then put some music award thing on instead.. emoticon ..did I miss out on a cinematic masterpiece, or not? emoticon

Re: Something from Portugal...


I just thought of something....

So we've got Brannagh's 'Mary Shelly's Frankenstein' which puts a fair bit of strain on that old artistic license, and then there's Coppola's 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', which pretty much re-wrote the book. So why wasn't LXG called 'Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', just for consistencies sake. emoticon

Because it's not Alan Moore's LoEG, it's a plagiarized script of that movie-that-never-was, Cast of Characters.

Sort of my point: I mean how many of those 'Such and such's Such and such' are actually a true depiction of the original?
