Good morning! Or afternoon, as the case may be.
I understand your feelings about Hyde and Nemo in the movie. I didn't mind it as much, because the movie was true to their depiction in the comic book that the movie was based on. So, the comic book is the original fault!
By the way... was Nemo being Indian mentioned in 20,000 Leagues? It's been so long since I read that book that I don't remember. But, whenever I see reference to Nemo now, he's Indian. Just wondered if that was something from the book or from some other source.
About the identity of the villian... I knew it of course, having read the comic book. But, when it was revealed, most everyone in the audience let out an "OHHH!", which was kind of amusing to hear.

Not many people know that Jules Verne wrote a sort-of sequel to "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" called "The Mysterious Island". It is in that book that Captain Nemo's history is revealed.
So I'll have to blame the comic book, huh? I thought it was a fascinating concept!

Reminds me of the scene at Bree when PJ made the audience think the hobbits had all been stabbed in their beds.... I enjoyed the audience ~GASPS~ for that one.... but it was a dirty trick for PJ to pull!
