The Libertine

[Cthulhu23]

Just watched this on Friday night. Johnny Depp and John Malcovich are great.

The story of John Wilmot (Depp), a.k.a. the Earl of Rochester, a 17th century poet who famously drank and debauched his way to an early grave, only to earn posthumous critical acclaim for his life's work

Anyone seen this? What did you think?

I liked the movie even though I've never been a huge fan of period pieces like this.  I figured I would give it a shot seeing as how I liked Quills.  I would reccomend it just for those 2 performances you mentioned.

Hey Blasph, I loved Quills. Will I like this one? I heard strange reviews on it. Some people complained this was way tooo graphic, while others complained that it lacked sex scenes.

[Cthulhu23]

I also love Quills, and Molly I think you would really enjoy The Libertine

[blasphemer1313]

Yeah, I think you would like it Molly.

The Marquis De Sade, oh yay more Quills fans!!


Cthulhu I just saw the previews for The Libertine on Starz just seconds before replying to this. I will definitely check it out. I am going to TiVo it so I won't miss it. I'll let you guys know what I think after I watch it.

[Cthulhu23]

Cool. Can't wait to hear what you think

I watched it yesterday afternoon. It wasn't bad and Depp was great but I admit I missed a lot the dialogue in the beginning and I got pretty sleepy by the end. So to be fair I will rewatch it and give my final opinion.
