THOUGHTS ON WATCHMEN MOVIE, MOST OF WHICH ARE NOT BY FRED

[whatc]

I'm glad i paid the 10,5€. Even liked the sex scene

[Mu]

Yeah, I can only find a few rather lame cam's so far either.

Im not eaven going to bother looking for cam's. Just going to wait till BDS gets a good one and steal it off him  

[bds]

No fair.

I may have to be patient and somehow wait for the dvdrip... Or just go and see it

My local cinema sounds like you have your head underwater. Way too much bass (I suspect the cones are ripped to hell too) and nothing from the mid to top range. Also their projector seems like some kind of digital affair with a really shit refresh, any fast pans turn into trail soup. I spent a lot of fucking cash on my home setup so I'll wait for the dvd rip and, if it's outstandingly good, I might even shell out for a blueray copy.

I thought it was very faithful, but lacked something.  It seemed hollow.

It was missing the "street corner" story.

The everyday people. The people that make you care about millions of deaths taking place.

he saw it, said he hated seeing awkward american shit made sound english (eggy in a basket etc)
said it was full of plot holes too.

Coming from the man that set "Watchmen" in New York City and managed a few stupid "Americanisms" of his own.

ITT we do not diss Alan Moore in any way, shape or form

[Iron Sulfide]

did anyone walk out of the movie early when you saw it???

there were like all these girls horrified with the comedians violence against women in my theater and they left in a fury 

i got that. there were also a large group of youngins behind me that would snicker and giggle like school girls when they showed male ass or dick, but tits were silent. I LoL'd out loud at them.

And to those who saw it in imax: FUCK YOUUUUUU!

Yeah I know, his opinion on that awesome thing he created is utterly worthless.

Yeah, I already lambasted him enough in that other thread.

Anyway, I though the reason he hated V for Vendetta was that he thought it was implied to be a metaphor for shit that was going down in America, and he took a personal offense to that, as he had not intended it that way.

He didn't create the movie.

That complaint was about something he himself has done.

This is a complaint of his that has merit.

It was most definitely about his fears of where British Politics of the time was heading.

Its a valid complaint. one that people living in their personal localities generally have when any writer makes assumptions of their area.
Just because he has done it in some of his works doesn't make it a less valid opinion when he is a member of an audience.
