they did manage to utterlybastardify the League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Which must've been quite difficult considering a frame-by-frame of the comic would've made a decent film.

Alan Moore has thrown his toys about it particularly about the made up American versionof British slang. In America they apparently have some form of breakfast called 'Egg in a basket' - and the script references this as made up British "eggy in a basket". I have no idea what this is, and can't be bothered googling it. The fact they couldn't be bothered doing some research... Stupid bastards. I mean. Eggy?
