Why are there no good movies about Jack the Ripper?

the micheal Caine one was okay
that Johnny Dept one (based on alan moore comic) was decent

I guess its because we didn't know who the killer was. Now that was know it was a Polish Jew , its not very interesting. It was just a schizophrenic lunatic

what about Murder by Decree?

I thought it was H H Holmes?

Because he's a good guy....

Blahblahblah

It really is good. I don't care if Alan Moore does AMA's. He's a fucking great author.

The amount of research that went into that book is fucking insane. It's such an intricate tapestry of facts and theories about each of the murders. It's not just pulp fiction or pseudo-intellectual garbage.

There was some HGWells' Time Machine movie where he's hunting jack the ripper through time, iirc. I think that was enjoyable.

Sherlock Holmes didn't exist, loser. And he was a good guy.

Because no one wants you to know the truth...there was no Jack the Ripper

That's Time After Time and it's as amazing as it is insane.

Nicholas Meyer is GOAT.
