I'm so gay for this right now. I mean that literally too. He's probably still my biggest living celebrity crush . That's not even counting  what a major talent he is as an actor. So happy this was done.

But they will have a budget for twice as much bearded action.

McDonald needs more film work. I'm glad he's fine doing so much television, but his movies are so good.

And Hollis Frampton in that case. Zorns Lemma is one of the best movies in the collection.

Jean Gremillon and the three Dardenne films are definites for me. Might also get Safety Last.

Great minds etc al.

The whole of From Hell has been released several times, all good editions. Starting with the first two volumes of League is probably the best idea.

He's actually spoken on this and has claimed his issue is with the act of adaptation. If they were to rip-off his ideas for new stories he has said he'd be more comfortable. Basically stealing is good; adaptation is bad.

That's correct.

@avclub-b31df16a88ce00fed951f24b46e08649:disqus He already has actually.

I always take From Hell as a (great) preparing for League.

Supposedly he liked that one episode of Justice League.

I actually thought that Brooks movie was very good if not great.

@avclub-c1fe85b855c6d045b827f74a1e2c3fd7:disqus I'd agree, but would argue Pacino is the better actor.

Nothing is though.

I'd rather hey cast someone who could act.

I'd go so far as to say it is Moore's best work. And yes, the second volume is streets ahead.

The problem is that the good elements of the original story won't work on network television.

I can't imagine this working on Network television if just due to the (period appropriate) racism let alone the sex, violence, and effects.

He had prepared for it about forty years in advance though.
