    Sean Connery turned down both Gandalf in Lord of the Rings and Morpheus in The Matrix because he didn't understand the scripts. He turned down Dumbledore in Harry Potter because it was too fantastical. Then he tried a reverse approach where he accepted the next role he didn't understand, because clearly that was where the money was at. So he accepted Allan Quartermain in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, a movie which flopped *hard*. Then he ragequit the industry and retired.

    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie is one of those films that has aged like fine wine because it turns out that A) big spectacle action adventure films got WAY WORSE over the next 20 years and B) It's just...genuinely a really fun, charming picture that knows precisely what it is

    Just woke up from a dream about creating a fun new kid's movie character named The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which was: a man, a woman, an Incredible Mister Limpet fish, a talking hammerhead shark, and I think a bear, all fused together at the waist and wearing a three piece suit

    Tonight I’m watching the 1920 silent film version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I’ve actually never seen a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie before, unless you count The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Of course I know the story, but curiously I’ve never sat down to watch a movie about it before.

    This weirdly started to remind me of when that screenwriter alleged that a movie studio paid Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neil to make the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comic to cover up them stealing his script. Which is a Columbo villain level of over-planning to assume

    #PlotTober 3 I have a big soft spot for any story that features strong female friendships. When I got this idea, I immediately thought of the movie Now and Then, which I grew up on, and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to bring in the supergroup of literary characters aspect.

    No, he isn't. Jules Verne's work has inspired a lot of contemporary films, shows, and books, with many stories drawing from his adventurous spirit, exploration themes, and early sci-fi concepts. Here's a list of some that are heavily influenced by Verne's ideas: Films & TV Shows The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) This film is filled with characters from 19th-century literature, including Captain Nemo, who is a key character from Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

    As the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie turns 20 this year it is time to admit that, even though it’s obviously way louder and stupider than the source material like every other Moore adaptation, it’s plenty fun and if it hadn’t made Connery retire no one would pretend it’s his worst

    I enjoy Gods of Egypt, even have the Bluray. It's a dogshit movie but good junk food entertainment. Kinda gives me The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen vibes which is another crap movie I like. Not sure why, I think I'm just a sucker for ancient Egyptian themes even when they're butchered to the point of being insulting.
