Link to an "artistic" Jack
« on: February 20, 2007, 03:02:53 am »
This is a painting called "Jack Twist" in the Adonis Art gallery in Earl's Court, London (which I visited in 2004 - It's just over the road from the Coleherne).

I don't think it's very close to the spirit of the movie at all. Stemming the rose doesn't begin to describe it. Nor do I think he's got the face. In fact, I have a sneaking feeling he had the painting alread, along came the movie and he just renamed it to cash in.

I agree with your theory about the renaming, Shuggy.

Personally, I think 'hack' does . . .
