well the league of extra ordinary gentlemen is a odd movie, it's defenitly not good because it's filled with plotholes, mistakes, broken characters etc but at the same time it looks gorgeous to see and it's just a lot of fun to watch all these odd characters fight.

there's just a huge number of weird flaws in the movie, like dorian gray is invernerable but in one big fight he get's totally shot up, his clothes are ripped apart etc, since he can't die he kills everyone and his wounds slowly heal back but two seconds later in the same room his clothes are in one piece again as well like nothing ever happened. (they didn't "grow back" like his wounds it was just a continuity mistake.)

mr. jekkyl and doctor hyde was the worst character of them all, mr jekkyl is supposed to be the pure concentrated darkness that lurks in the souls of men, sort of like our own dark side that everyone has.
but in the movie he's like this big angry hulk looking creature, even worse is that he's learning about friendship and in the end of the movie he's actually trying to do the right thing, protecting his friends and stuff, that's defenitly not mr Hyde.

anyway that's the kind of stuff that really irks me about the movie how they really go out of character, it's worth a rent at least to look at the pretty settings and laugh at some of the stupid shit going on.
the movie looks gorgeous as long as you don't let the characters bother you.

ooh and i'd love it if i could borrow one of your dorian gray books, it takes ages to order english books here, i'll send it back to you as soon as i'm done reading it.

it's not that i'm not gratefull for your offer but if you don't mind i'll send the book back after i'm done with it.
i hate taking gifts, i'm weird that way.
well one of the many things i'm weird with anyway, i haven't celebrated my birthday in years mostly to avoid people and gifts.
i appreciate the offer but it would really bother me for weeks if i kept the book.
i hope you're not offended.
