Oops, you misunderstand me (because I didn't make it very clear) - I meant that the film version *was* a slap in the face to Mr Moore. Much like "From Hell", actually. A friend of mine said of From Hell that you'd be better off giving a fiver to him and standing very hard on his toes - it'd have the same effect, but you wouldn't have to actually see the film.
