The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Caravan of Garbage

Ойын-сауық

2003 was very much like today in the sense that everybody was looking to adapt comic book properties into a huge movie franchise. So in continuing our Alan Moore-athon we're taking a look at The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or LXG if you would. In Sean Connery's final live action role before retirement he leads a team of 19th Century super people as Alan Quartermaine. We've never liked it but maybe that's wrong. Doubtful though. Thanks for listening to our Caravan Of Garbage review!

His first major work for DC was a Green Lantern comic written by Alan Moore, the CCA denied the comic because of his art, DC asked what they could change and the CCA said it was his entire art style that was unacceptable despite him having work approved by the CCA previously.

    Well, they needed Quartermain to hunt down Hyde and catch him. They brought in Nemo to get a vague idea of how his technology worked so they could copy it, and Sawyer was not brought in for the League but was actually a US agent that happened to be hunting the same group as the League. The plan is still pretty dumb though.

I never got the hate for either since A: they're some of the few movies of the last few decades using OG horror stories like Dracula, Frankenstein, or Jekyll & Hyde and B: they were really creative stories/settings. Van Helsings fully auto crossbow and everything about Nemo and his sub live rent free in my head to this day. I can usually understand why people hate some movies even when I like them but those 2 I thought were OK at worst but definitely not warranting the hate some people levy on them today.

    Little known fact about this movie, the invisible man wasn’t always going to be the invisible man, he was initially supposed to be one of the blue men from the blue man group who had to be edited out when they realised they didn’t have the rights to the character. As a nod to the removal of the blue man, the working title of this movie during production was Blue Harvest which was coincidentally also the code name for the original Star Wars.

    I think this is a common feature of mid-2000's films where they have an amalgamation of good ideas or previous literature to pull from and they just pulled the trigger a little too early based on the tech we had available. I think it's really underappreciated how people and groups in the film industry like George Lucas and ILM, BBC Wales, Steven Spielberg, etc. constantly pushing the industry to the "cutting edge" of what it's capable of, caused a lot of other production studios and filmmakers to rush projects that had really good and ambitious concepts behind them like this one. It is the same reason I am overjoyed that the Neil Gaiman comic SANDMAN was not adapted until recently, the quality reached in that first season could not have been achieved in 2003, 2009 or even I would argue on a television budget, 2015. Overall, it's not that the filmmakers totally screwed the pooch, instead, the initial concept was to ahead of it's time to meet the standard of a good movie at the time. Bet if they remade it now with some likeable stars. decent budget and passionate director it would turn out great, despite likely not being received as such in the light of the sheer number of "super human" concepts in movies right now.

    League of Extrodinary Gentlemen occupies a place in my weirdly specific 'Movies with great production design and/or cinematography that are technically shit but are still *just* enjoyable enough for multiple watches' sub genre. Also @9:50 I spit muffin all over my desk. Well done, editor. Well done.

    I appreciate the fact that Connery had the self-awareness to go, “I didn’t understand The Matrix. I didn’t understand Lord of the Rings. I recognize that just because I don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s crap.” That’s an admirable quality to have. The irony is that he was actually right about this one and should’ve past. I wonder if that self-awareness also played a part in retiring after this movie. Yeah, he was miserable making it, but maybe there was a part of him that thought, “I just have no idea what’s gonna be a worthy project anymore, so I should just retire. I’ve lost the ability to judge movies correctly, I don’t need the money, I don’t want to damage my legacy like so many older actors. Maybe I should quit.”

    I decided to read Dracula for this Halloween 2022 and finished last weekend. I felt I wasn't quite done with the Gothic horror feel for this year, so I watched Van Helsing and League this past week. And man I think this is pretty great actually. This is probably my favorite Dorian Gray, seeing Mina Harker after reading Dracula was a great callback, Dr Jekyll is a mildly interesting adaptation, and the inclusion of Tom Sawyer is the epitome of campy fun. The villains plot of orchestrating a world war, organizing a group of superhumans to ostensibly stop said war, only to find out he's just using them to manufacture weapons to sell to the highest bidder of his manufactured war... pretty excellent in my opinion

    If you boys are doing all the Alan Moore adaptations, you should do The Show from 2020 that wasn't released until last year. He wrote it, and liked it enough to be in it, and it's way way weirder than anything else on the list. It may not qualify technically because I think he just straight wrote it as a film.

    I believe that a gent would visit his hatter for a custom top hat, rather than his tailor. Besides that, as far as I understood, the LXG film was already being made before the comic even came out - essentially they purchased the rights to the concept (and the ability to claim they tied into the comic series) and didn't really care about the details of the finished comic... Which only adds to the idea that they pinched some of the script from elsewhere.
