What's up with 1:40?

seriously?

i still don't understand why this movie will be so good

last time i heard (and saw), zack snyder was pretty meh

i think the only reason this'll be relatively alright is because watchmen itself (the novel at least), seems pretty amazing

i really want to read it. might buy it soon.


also muse didn't help during this

you answered your own question

[salt]

you answered your own question

just because the franchise is good, doesn't mean the movie will be good


good directors and actors help you know


EDIT:

also i said 'seems'

i haven't read it so if i thought it was bad then this movie would most likely be quite awful

in my opinion of course

Personally, I didn't think Watchman was that great, but I guess I haven't read many comic books.

im currently refraining from posting something about a bible graphic novel

[TequilaClock]

I still gotta read this. I can find it at any bookstore?

[Marlin Clock]

I found it in a Barnes & Noble, so I would assume so.

[Poltergeist]

So guys


Warner Brothers and 20th Century Fox are aruging over who owns the rights to the story (I thought it was just Miller) and a judge ruled there would be a trial on the 20th as to whether the movies release will be blocked.

I really doubt that will happen though, as they'd lose too much oney.

dude, it's not just a great comic, it's an amazing piece of literary beauty; it alone has legitimized comics as an artform.

fuck off.

I think Maus had a pretty big hand in that

edit:  well I'm not sure it "established comics as an artform" actually.  Maus more just established that some serious and sincere messages can be told through comics

I GUESS THIS THREAD ISN'T ABOUT THIS ANYWAY


Edit#2:  Hey Alan Moore thinks Art Spiegelman is awesome:

Alan Moore praised Maus, saying "I have been convinced that Art Spiegelman is perhaps the single most important comic creator working within the field and in my opinion Maus represents his most accomplished work to date."

Thank you for a totally informative and nonabrasive response to my statement.

I'm trying to remain skeptical but every time I see something new of Watchmen it looks like it's right on track. I don't think the film will ever have the same strength as the comic just because films come with a kind of subconscious pretext and people are more attached to those than they are with books (even comic books). Even if it's really great it's going to go down as a really great comic movie instead of just a really great movie. I don't think you can really make a superhero film that people will accept as genuinely good until you step away from comics. Even something like Watchmen has a comic look to it despite having proper writing behind it.

I want to see a film like Taxi Driver would be if it was about Batman.

these folks are awesome; so quiet down marlin.

[Marlin Clock]

I'm not insulting them, I just didn't find any sense in the whole fake alien invasion threatening the earth. I don't think even that would so easily unify the world.
Nor do I find the death of Rorschach reasonable.
