Herewith: Van Helsing in fifteen minutes. I took this silver bullet for you. (Spoilers. Duh.) Now with icons!

This rocks! Can you do The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in fifteen minutes? Maybe have a line in there about Hyde escaping to film his bit in van Helsing. That would be cool. Yeah. :)

[rainbowjehan]

Seconded. Seconded.

*weeps quietly* Why does everybody pick on Jekyll, anyway? *snuggles him*

[mayhemme]

Heehee. Jekyll's a cutie, I don't know why they pick on him either!

[rainbowjehan]

O_O

Oh, my God, I think I may be madly, insanely in love with you for that icon. Yes, I think I may.

And yes, yes, Jekyll is. Hell, even in the book Jekyll is a cutie. Of a different sort, but still cute.

*grin* And unlike most of my adoration-inspiring icons, I can actually claim to have made the Skinner one. ;) Would you believe I'm actually known as "Skinner's Freaky Darling" on the one message board I use?

You may take and use the icon if you like, as long as you credit me.

[rainbowjehan]

Ee! You are? ^_^

Alas, no, I have no icon slots left. I shall just watch you adoringly in hopes you will use it a lot.

[mayhemme]

Lol! You should come over to lxg or lxg_fanfiction -- I use it there all the time.

Although lately I'm using this one more, because who doesn't like a picture of herself being snuggled by Rodney Skinner? ;)

[rainbowjehan]

O_O Adda--wibba--there are LJ comms for-- *expires quietly* Oh God, I'm so happy.

Hee. Well, yes. *confirmed Jekyll-adorer*

[rainbowjehan]

I joined lxg_fanfiction; is that okay?

[mayhemme]

Of course it's okay! (Especially because I'm the moderator of that one!)

[rainbowjehan]

^__^ Yay!

I support that

--note: I started writing this comment then looked up your Van Helsing review to make sure I wasn't re-stating anything already commented on.--

Browsing your photobucket stuff, I happened to notice you have a Mina Harker icon (Heroine Addict). Did you see the tragedy that was "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" gone Hollywood (Sean Connery Egofest)?

Van Helsing seems to be similarly skewing famous literary characters for public amusement. It was awful, but not as bad.

Alan Moore is so brilliant, and they destroyed his ideas for so many (similar to I, Robot). People will never make an effort to read the actual related literature because the movie was poorly made, and anyone that sincerely liked it probably isn't the literature type.

These atrocious adaptations make me so sad, I could cry. If you could make LXG a happy experience for me (for anyone that was appaled at this movie) I would be forever in your debt.

LXG is the next one on my not-for-the-book list--I've already watched it and taken notes. :)
