Read it, watched the motion comic, but wont see the movie til this weekend.

but omg lookit this

That. Was. ORGASMIC.

The scene where Rorshac deep-fat fries a man epitomizes everything I love about movie violence.

The film was amazing. If there was anything wrong with it, it came from time constraints – anytime you try to cram an entire graphic novel (or series of them) into the span of less than 2 hours (luckily, Watchmen ran for 2 1/2), some parts are going to get chopped out. Still, the film hit all the notes that it needed to from the original novel.

Finally, someone who shares my sentiments. Log in to see images!

On a side note, I thought I would die laughing at the Archie sex scene. The music was funny enough, but when Silk Spectre came and the flamethrower turned on, I thought I would die laughing.

Interesting. We got to see the freak out of the big blue scene, the actual superman being too separate and different. Then we see the players who can never stop being human, but have chosen to wear the mask, who can only seem to be their true selves with the mask. I don’t know, I thought the camp they added was cliche, but kind of needed to bring the audience back from that sex place into the bigger story.

Loved the book, thought the movie was as close as possible.

Funny side note: I read Watchmen for the first time around the same time that we were crafting the overall Forumwarz storyline.

Jalapeno had read it ages ago and loved it, so I was like “Let’s make our storyline as deep and dark as Watchmen!” and even went as far as to buy him a new copy of it so he could read it again.

Obviously that didn’t work out, but there is a more serious storyline underneath our parody (I believe this starts to come out towards the end of E2, but won’t be fully fleshed out until E3 is complete.)

Yeah, the serious storyline didn’t make itself more noticeable until around the end of EP2.

although Leonard Cohen’s version of Hallelujah is easily the worst I’ve ever heard.

i agree. although he did write it so he gets some props for that.

really the only leonard cohen songs i’ve heard and liked (not looking at lyrics here, just how the song sounds as a whole) are “The Future” and “Everybody Knows”. well, let’s maybe throw “I’m Your Man” in there too.

Saw it. Loved it. Dreamed of blue male reproductive organes.

I guess the biggest issue I had with the movie was the heavy emphasis on the fighting and the way it made it seem as if everyone was more than human.

And the lack of woman's genitals monster. Blue male reproductive organ bomb is no substitute for woman's genitals monster.
