Watchmen

Seems fitting to post this here. Borders Books and Movies has a handful of clips relating to the Watchmen here. Quite interesting, especially if you're looking forward to this movie.

I'm intrigued and "meh" about this movie all at the same time. I'm worried it will be another over-hyped movie like Sin City was (I thought that movie was lame).

Watch men do what?
Wrestle? No thanks.

Some friends and I are going to see it. I'm cautiously optimistic.

It seems that Gibbons is fully supporting it, which probably counts for something.

Sounds good, from that link. I should really reserve a ticket or something.

I really could care less about this movie, but I just got excited when I saw the name of Wil Wheaton. I've had a ridiculous schoolgirl-esque crush on him since the days of Wesley Crusher...

Would that make Crusher the crushee?

I suppose it would. Clever, clever.

Let's keep the discussion of illegal activities off the forums too, 'kay?

My friend is a big fan of the book and she just saw the film so I thought I'd post what she said about it.

"It's slavishly faithful to the graphic novel, but I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing. There's going to be two kinds of people that go to see this: the fanboys and the rest of the population that has some interest in action movies. For the latter I think they'll be bored, the movie is very long and adheres very closely to the comic instead of attempting to adapt it into a more acceptable format, and for the former, I don't know what this movie is going to bring to the table.

Unlike a book, like Lord of the Rings, the comic comes with its own graphical interpretation - and an amazingly good one at that. The visual imagery is already there, so I don't know that this movie adds anything to that. Don't get me wrong it's a very well-done movie, but I bet it gets very mixed reviews. I enjoyed it for what it was but it's not something I will probably want to see again.

Apparently the author (Alan Moore) had his name taken from the movie's credits. I don't know why."

Because he's an insane, cranky old nutjob who hates any adaptation of any of his works (V for Vendetta, From Hell, Constantine, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).

Of course, this is the first time he's leveled a "curse" on a production.

Just saw it last night. It was... it had its ups and downs. Rorschach was, for the most part, awesome. A few of the things they changed made sense for being more film-friendly, but a lot of it seemed either completely purposeless; and often ruining the more subtle things about the comic that it seems like Zach Snyder just didn't understand. Oh, and the music was absolutely horrendous.

So, in other words, wait for it to be on Netflix.

Got it.

Ozymandias was right.

Ozymandias's actor SUCKED.
