The Watchmen (March 6th, 2009) - Page 2

I definitely don't think it'll be as good as the graphic novel, but I still think it'll be really good and I can't wait to see it. I really like the casting choices and Snyder is ok. It looks faithful to the novel although obviously they're gonna have to cut some stuff out. I just hope they don't change too much, even though you know... about that one thing. Whatever they do, I just hope it works for the movie.

I can't wait for the DVD cut of this.

I'm going to a book discussion group for the first 3 issues today!

swivel · #34 February 22nd, 2009, 09:54 PM

I got tickets for a Thursday midnight showing today.

I'm going to sneak a vibrator into the movie theater with me and masturbate violently during the entire movie. If you hear some squeaking and moaning....that's me.

I get so annoyed with people when they do this in the theater. Especially the ones that drag their little kids in too and can't stay off their cellphones.

Five more days, my friends.

Then a couple weeks later "Tales of the Black Freighter" and "Under the Hood" come out on DVD. Personally, I think it'd be cooler if they made some of Silk Spectre's King Taylor produced movies and put them out direct to DVD.

The animated comic of Watchmen comes out on DVD Tuesday. I must get it.

@ Dr. Manhattans' drawn on tights.

(sigh)

I have to come clean and admit that I JUST read WATCHMEN a couple of weeks ago to appease the harping and nagging of my boyfriend.

I'll give it up to him though, he sure has great taste in literature.

I read it last summer. I remember it in the comic shop when I was a kid but I was wayyyy to young for it back in them days.

Insomniac · #41 March 4th, 2009, 09:24 AM

I can't wait to see this movie.

Squee!

He wears them in the novel as well.

The movie version will be easier on the eyes.

Dr. Manhattan's costume gradually disappears in the comics, a sign of his growing estrangement with humanity.

I love that the only hero with powers walks around naked while all the people pretending to have powers wear costumes.

Ah, so he does. I was watching the cartoon last night, pretty neat. I noticed he had them on in Vietnam. The parts with him having it on are few and far between that it was easy to forget.

The cartoon, is neat for what it is. If I didn't know anything at all about Watchmen, I'd swear that the cartoon version premeired on Liquid Television, it's that same style of animation and weird storytelling.

My biggest complaint with the cartoon version though is that it does not have the book excerpts, interviews, newspaper clippings, etc. that are found at the end of each chapter of the comic. I thought that was kind of a pisser. The other complaint is that one guy does all the voices....even for the women. Very odd.

Just got back. Few complaints and I didn't mind the changes made, even preferring some of them over the source. 3.5/5

Death Bed · #48 March 6th, 2009, 11:47 PM

Sweet! I'm going to see it tomorrow. Can't wait.

TheLittleFriend · #49 March 7th, 2009, 01:05 AM

I saw it....I give it about 3.5. I like comic better than movie.

aspartame · #50 March 7th, 2009, 03:26 AM

i just got home from seeing this 2 1/2 hour piece of crap!

it was horrid i could not wait for it to be over! and what the hell was up with the big blue swinging weenie!

Death Bed · #51 March 7th, 2009, 08:44 AM

This is indicative of the couple that walked out of the movie I was in, and the man in a few rows in front of me that squirmed in his seat turned to his buddy's and whispered "when the hell will this be over?"

Asp, the blue weenie was power...in the comic book it actually talked and tol Dr. Manhattan what to do. They couldn't fit that in the movie though, although I would have loved to see them film the part in the comic in which it drove the car by itself.

Death Bed · #53 March 7th, 2009, 10:17 AM

Yeah, I had forgotten about that part! You should see it in the motion comic DVD, it's pretty funny. It's always complaining about having blue balls.

HA i would wanna see the jiggle weenie drive that would have been worth it.

also when that ink blot face guy gets blown to a ink blot of blood and the little nerd yells "NOOOO" that was sooo bad that i giggled a little bit.

lol that was one of my other thoughts, with that big a weenie why dint he have bigger nuts!

Death Bed · #56 March 7th, 2009, 10:02 PM

I liked it a lot. There were some changes made and lines/scenes omitted that I wished had been in the movie. The origin of Rorshach's mask, for instance, should have been in the film. Jackie should get an Academy Award for "Most Badass Performance in a Movie Fucking Ever".

I didn't even mind they changed the ending from the comic. I thought they did better with it, having Nite Owl express some rage at what was happening rather than basically saying "Ah hell nothing I can do. Let's go home", as he did in the comic.

Death Bed · #57 March 8th, 2009, 11:16 AM

Did anyone else notice a file on Veidt's computer titled "boys"?

silvahalo68 · #58 March 8th, 2009, 03:02 PM

I'm not going to read into the posts right now, I haven't seen the movie just yet and really excited about it....looks great!

I bet Dr. Manhattan's penis would bow down before you, Morbid. The biggest dick of them all.
