I will part ways w/ you on V FOR VENDETTA. The book is one of my absolute favorites, graphic or prose. I'd call it just about perfect, and spent 15+ years fantasizing about an adaptation that did it justice. When the Wachowski-produced one was released, I was... underwhelmed to say the least.
But different folks/strokes and so on.
I remember when we used to go on holiday to Blackpool as a child, I'd pick up magazines there I wasn't able to pick up elsewhere, in particular on called Warrior which ran V for Vendetta. I was only able to get bits and pieces of the story, but I always wanted to read the whole thing. The part where Evey is imprisoned and tortured in particular stuck in my mind (indeed it became the only section I remembered until I reread the whole thing). When I did read it all, many years later (after the film had came out) I just felt vague disappointment that the changes in the movie had generally speaking, improved it, certain things made more sense. With The Watchmen, when I got a copy of that I was glued to the book and couldn't put it down until I got to the ending which I just thought was completely stupid and handled much better in the film.
This would be heresy to many graphic novel fans, but lately I've been wondering if Moore is just an overrated, bitter old man. Anyway, that is just my take on it.

Last post by Dr. Whom - June 04, 2026, 03:49:39 PMVery sad news indeed. Officially, she died of grief for her dead husband, which is a very Persian way of dying.

Last post by M.10rda - June 04, 2026, 12:52:41 PMTHE CONSTANT NYMPH (1928):
Another early feature that sounds like sheer naughtiness but isn't. Elsa Lanchester apparently has a walk-on somewhere in this (nearly two hour!) melodrama but there are some crowd scenes and I just wasn't motivated to invest any effort in trying to pick her out (much though I do adore her). Honestly THE CONSTANT NYMPH is a nominally "Good" or well-made film, but it's too long and too entrenched in its outre attitudes to do anything other than ultimately grate on one's nerves.
Lewis (Igor Novello from Hitchcock's LODGER) is a musical protege under the lifelong tutelage of the much older, famous Sanger. Lewis sincerely loves his mentor yet repays him by bringing a scrumpy colleague home to Sanger's mountain lodge and introducing said colleague to Sanger's younger second wife, who promptly has a fling with the colleague and incites Sanger to premature cardiac arrest. The first third of the film follows this infidelity plot, but once Sanger is dead it's pretty much forgotten and we follow Lewis back to his metropolitan home, where he marries a nice-enough high society dame but is still pursued by his lovelorn childhood friend, Tessa, who is Sanger's youngest daughter.
Okay - Tessa is played by Mabel Poulton, who is totally adorable (a Kirsten Dunst/Kiernan Shipka/Anya Taylor-Joy type) and is clearly madly in love with Lewis from the first time she appears onscreen five minutes into the movie, and particularly after Sanger dies there is absolutely no logical reason why Lewis wouldn't just embrace her and shack up with and/or marry her - but this is the Ruth Chatterton era of Misogynist/Sadistic Cinema, where no lovely well-meaning young woman can be allowed to enjoy life or be rewarded for her good intentions, and must instead suffer unrequited and then often die, very very slowly, for the gratification of the viewer.
Feh!
A real drag. 2.5/5 Somehow remade at least twice!

Last post by Rev. Powell - June 04, 2026, 12:18:14 PMQuote from: indianasmith on June 04, 2026, 11:26:37 AMTHE BRIDE (2025) - Absolutely FANTASTIC reworking of Frankenstein's story! Christian Bale is terrific as the Monster, and the story arc of The Bride is a delight to watch. I don't give a lot of 5/5 scores, but this one really earned it.
SEE THIS MOVIE!!!
Another one I'm surprised you like. I'm not quite 5/5 on it, but it's worth a watch for sure.
