And on the seventh day, God rested

…of course, not being God myself, my plan is to kick back, eat some ramen, and watch The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen—with the idea that a bit of relaxation and some pointed disengagement from all this partisan political tussling will the ease the constant discomfort I feel in my chest.

But just so I don’t leave you high and dry, should anything negative happen today, take it on faith that I blame The Left™.

    The vampiress in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen can suck my blood anytime!

  2. I blame The Leftâ„¢.

    – Is that some sort of subtle bird flu joke?

    TW: If the said “chest discomforture” doesn’t subside in some reasonable time frame, you might thing about a trip to the local HOSPITAL….

  3. The League’s Belle Epoque decorum will surely fit perfectly with your melancholic chest aching…

    Who knew Colorado’s rough circumstances could engender such a sophisticated Edwardian pain? 

    Truly Allah and Zeus’ designs are unintelligible!

    A medical checkup might be useful though

    When confronted a while back, by a strange looking individual of Asian descent, I was obligated by a curious urge to know more and asked the question. What are you EEETINGSAN?

    Okay that last part was a lie…..

    this partisan political tussling

    This partisan political tussling?!  I’m VALID, dammit, and I DEMAND to be heard!

    I SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER!

  6. Robert Schwartz says:

    More importantly, did you enjoy: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Should I buy it?

  7. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Went for a walk with my wife and kid and dog and forgot what time it started. So I missed it.  I’ll catch it next time.  It was running Fox Movie Channel.

  8. me says:

    Wasn’t yesterday the 7th day? Or are you just showing tolerance for us Christians?

  9. Lew Clark says:

    Yeah,

    You noticed how the neocon slipped that Sabbath thing in there. Next he’ll be openly displaying those 10 Jewish Commandments on the site.

  10. Robert says:

    More importantly, did you enjoy: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Should I buy it?

    That depends. Do you LIKE clawing at your eyes, praying for death, and demanding your two hours back from the universe? I thought it was complete crap.

    AND WHILE THE KING WAS SLEEPING

    His enemies took over his kingdom, when he awoke from his sleep his kingdom was no more

  12. Bill Peschel says:

    Amen, Robert. If you liked the comic books, you’ll hate the movie.

    OTOH, if you can watch League member Tom Sawyer drive a car hellbent through the streets of Venice, dash past battalions of goons with guns on the rooftops, as buildings go ka-bloom on all sides as they attempt to thwart a nefarious attack and not wish for death’s gentle, sweet release, then have a good time.

    Sean Connery read the book and wiped his ass with it before making this turd.

  13. Mark says:

    Wait, didn’t you just play the “chest pains” card a couple weeks ago Jeff?

    …,

    …,

    Aha, suddenly I see The Leftâ„¢ connection.

    We are a church made up of individuals who Welcome Everyone. Doesn’t matter what you wear, look like, the color of your hear, your orientation or identification. What matters to us is that want to share in our community!

  15. ed says:

    Hmmm.

    Ramen.  You know that’s a wonderful idea.

    So do you put steamed or stir-fried vegetables in yours?  Chopped up boiled egg?

  16. MayBee says:

    of course, not being God myself

    wha??

    The devil you say!

  17. Sean Connery in a Kheffiyeh says:

    I just recite ‘em.

    But look ye the noo, it aye takes a bunch of Hollywood Liberals to bugger up Alan Moore proper…

  18. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen can be fun, but it certainly isn’t great.

    But I’ll watch anything with Peta Wilson in it.

    That depends. Do you LIKE clawing at your eyes, praying for death, and demanding your two hours back from the universe? I thought it was complete crap.

    You captured my sentiments precisely.

    It’s not that it sucks by some artsy-fartsy definition of good cinema either. It is an objectively awful movie. It deserves to be universally despised.

    TW: Door… find one. Run away. Don’t let it catch you.

  20. Mark says:

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen can be fun, but it certainly isn’t great.

    Wow, it must’ve been really bad if the overall experience of watching it completely overshadowed my memory of her being in it!

    Now, where the hell did I put that DVD…

    ..on the 7th day got arrested?

    For what it’s worth, let me add my vote to those slamming League – great comic, awful movie.  If you’re looking for something Victorian with a better pedigree, how about The Seven Per-Cent Solution?  Beautiful, that one, and Robert Duvall’s Watson is the best and most faithful interpretation I’ve seen outside of David Burke in the Granada television series from the mid-Eighties.  Edwardian, maybe?  How about Young Winston?

  23. TonyGuitar says:

    English theatrics are great.  Edwardian, Victorian, Dickensonian, you name it.  Except for Shakeyspears that is.  My favourite, though is Monty Py… no Benny Hill.  TG

  24. Attila Girl says:

    Aw, come on. Sean Connery could stand there and read the freakin’ dictionary in that accent, and I’d pay to see it.

    Of course, some chicks are suckers for an interesting accent.

    I mean, so I’ve heard.

  25. So I can blame “the Left” for Villanova’s loss to UConn? 

    Those bastards!

  26. Khan (No, Not That One) says:

    Or Canada.  You can always blame Canada.

    an often overlooked film that I went out and bought, I liked it so much.
