Did you read the review? Although to be fair it actually sounds like how my wife would have understood the film after falling asleep in the middle of it...

Of course I did.
It seemed a lot more reasonable than many of the reviews I've seen out there

That review is a fucking disgrace. Neil Gaiman? The writer can't even spell warn (written as worn). The comedian is ripped off wholesale from the punisher??? The same actress plays silk spectre one and two??? Dr Atomic??? and he is the founder of the watchmen???
Hold on a minute, I've just read the whole thing. It's a joke. I mean 'it is a joke'

I'm confused - is something-awful a satirical website, or is that reviewer just a complete fucking cock?

It's their TruthMedia section.
Badly-written and inaccurate reviews deliberately made to wind up fanboys

Yep, good point, have done so. Mea culpa.You might want to <spoiler> your post so people who haven't read about the alternative ending don't see it. There's a sticky at the top of the forum that tells you how to insert spoiler tags.

Or you could have simply read that on this very thread a few months ago.

I bet it's shit though.
I bet it's all shit.
I bet it's all shit.
I'm beginning to think you're probably right as it goes. In fact, I will be very surprised if it isn't total cack but, once it's out there it's out there and we can all move on.
Like, I was really worried by the Hitchhiker's film and, sure enough, it was shit. It's been a couple of years now though and it doesn't seem to have tarnished the memory or high regard the books are held in at all.

From Hell.
Actually. I quite liked it... well, apart from the bloody ending. Good lord.
I always try to remember that it's a different medium, it's never going to be the same, yadda, yadda, yadda. Enjoy the film on its own merits, rather than whether it recreates exactly the same feelings that the book did when I first read it.

If it's not too much of a derail, what didn't you like about the Hitchiker's film?
I've been a fan of the book, radio and tv series, and really enjoyed the film.
See, From Hell seems to have been almost completely forgotten by anyone who wasn't already interested in the books. There's just so many films made these days that very few linger in the collective consciousness the way they used to.
One of my favourite books is Ask the Dust by John Fante, which was made into a film with Colin Farrell a couple of years ago. Beforehand I had nightmares about it being a huge success and a crap adaptation but, as it turned out, it was apparently just a crap adaptation and was soon completely lost in time.

HATE the love story between Trillian and Arthur. For me, Arthur Dent getting a girl wrecks his character. It already wrecked his character in the later books when he meets Fenchurch and the story runs out of ideas but why shit up the first one too? Also, it seemed like all the best flights of fancy which make the series what it is were completely abandoned.
Each to their own though, fogbat, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Gritty, bleak, historically accurate investigation of the Ripper story, involving blake-like philosophical and spiritual meanderings into the nature of reality and the eternal struggle between order and chaos...
so why not have Johnny Depp fake the last prostitute's death and meet up with her later to settle down and have kids?
Although yes, even I had almost forgotten about it until just now.
that's the philosophy by which i live my life.
El Sueno

I did. Then I read it in the Times, so I thought I'd confirm it.

They should make some LOEG sequels including Mr Hyde raping the invisible man and the black dossier knob shots.
Or maybe they should make the lost girls. Hummm.
