Why Isn't Cheney Involved? Oh Yeah, We've Already Got Enough Dicks

[livejournal.com profile] unclelumpy points out this... lessee, what's the right word? Asinine? Moronic? Wish-fulfilling? Jingoistic? Pathetic little fantasy featuring Sean "If I Only Had A Brain" Hannity, G. Gordon "A Heart" Liddy, and Oliver "Da Noive" North as leaders of "an underground group of bio-mechanically enhanced conservatives" trying to thwart Usama bin Laden in 2021.

Words do not fail me, by any means, but half of them are basically just hearty, derisive laughter, and most of the rest frankly have to do with the delusions, sociopathy, and penis sizes of these flakes. Except for my lament that Larry Elmore, an artist I like and respect, did the cover. Sigh.

Gawds! What next? Rick Santorum and Ralph Reed join Fred Phelps in a Trifecta of Terror known as the League of Extraordinary Conservatives?? I should shut up. Image could be reading this! "I meant cute and happy puppies rolling on a big green hill, Mr. Liefeld!"

OT, I had cause to see the last half-hour of LXG last night. Just as boring as the first twenty minutes. I have no need to see the middle. Well, maybe Peta Wilson's middle.

As usual, the book is way better, but it's sad how much movie makers ruin Alan Moore's material. Too bad he doesn't really give a tinker's cuss about what they do with it.

Now, Alan and Lemmy in a British buddy biker film would ROCK! Rock, I say! Like Stonehenge!!

It's not just that the book is way better, and it's not just that filmmakers can't seem to "get" Moore. It's that you'd think that, given the amazing raft of characters and decent actors playing them, the guys doing LXG could've given us something.

Nothing nothing nothing. Dull dull dull. Nothing good or interesting or exciting or anything -- not even campy enough to be entertainingly bad. No. Thing.

Anyway.
