I ended up watching League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on TV today. I know, I know, but as much as I want to escape it, that shit is hilarious, and it’s perfect for housecleaning; you can wander into another room for fifteen minutes and not miss any plot, since nothing makes any sense to begin with. It’s like Fun With Lobby Cards, only it moves!

However, the channel was doing a “DVD on TV” thing for some reason, and it included deleted scenes that don’t have any sound or effects finishing. I now feel great pity for all the actors involved; without hyper-cutting and big drumbeats and waily strings and sound effects, it is painfully clear that this movie was going to suck from moment one. The saddest moment was Mina and Dorian’s big fight “deleted scene,” where Peta Wilson and Stuart Townsend swirled their coats and half-heartedly traded lines. It was like a high school play with more pleather. It happened hours ago, and I am still sad, it was that bad.
