 Maybe it was the absinthe indeed! That green icky stuff would do weird things to anyone!   Bastard friend of mine decided to take a rendezvous with the green fairy and liked it. And he used to drink nothing!  |

What? How? That stuff is illegal pretty much everywhere! And it's only produced in a handful of places! How on earth did he get some?  |

Yeah, I'd like to know that too!! I did a report on Absinthe, making and drinking of it, for a class, no actual first hand experience was had, I assure you, and yeah it's pretty well illegal most places. Though, I suppose as with anything illegal, you can find if you know where to look and have the money with which to acquire it. I am sorry for you and for your friend. Absinthe is bad stuff.  |

Rough stuff that is. Though I wonder what they used to simulate Absinthe....green kool-aid, perhaps?

See Absinthe itself isn't all that bad, in the movie and as was common practice with a lot of opiate addicts he added Laudnum to the sugar cube which was a highly potent Opiate used to treat headaches back then LOL!

I saw this movie about 2 weeks or so ago...and personally I hated it.  Very disturbing actually.  The good part though was seeing Johnny of course ;D |

Wow, if I remember correctly, I didn't like the movie as a whole at first either. Johnny as Abberline though...  Need I say more? Now, after purchasing it and subsequent numerous viewings, it's grown on me in a big way. I admire the directors' complete attention to detail though, and the fact that Abberline can see the future is just nifty! ;D |

Jay has a friend who went to Oxford and brought it back from London. He said he liked it, so I whapped him upside the head. Methinks he tried it because he thought Kylie Minogue was SOOOOOO hot in Moulin Rouge! |

Maybe I'm just weird or something, but I really, really liked it. I thought it was high class talent [short of Heather Graham... ick!] and I loved the style of it and everything. Maybe that's why I was the original Abberline Angel.  |

I loved From Hell. I thought it was excellent, although the conspiracy confused me a wee bit the first time I saw it. Now about 50 screenings later I think I've pretty much got it down-pat. The cinematograhy and setting of the film was very dark and moody, while the acting was superb (though, I have to agree with most of you, Heather Grahm was awful...), and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Wow. Great great film. |

Yes indeedy. Poo to Heather Graham. She seems to disappeared off the face of the earth though, so I guess it's all good.  Johnny was pure excellenece though, per usual. I absolutely  Abberline!!!!  |
