I only read the GN about 2 years ago (I was a late bloomer on the whole GN thing. :g:) and liked it overall, but def had issues -- particularly with the treatment of women. I mean, I'm glad it was at least a complicated kind of issue-taking, but there was a little skeevy reek coming off the GN when I finished that left me feeling conflicted. So I've been really curious to hear how the movie came out -- wondering if they were going to try to be very literally faithful to the GN, or to do some "updating" -- at least with the treatment of female characters.

Sounds like...not so much. :g: I'm glad to hear you liked the movie overall though, because I'm still interested in checking it out.
