I didn't think anyone took what Moore said that seriously (read:loony). To be so adamant about about this says more about Don Murphy than it does about Moore.

I haven't read the comic but unfortunately am seeing this opening night in Texas :|. That's gonna be fun.

But yeah from the looks of the trailers it looks like a basic superhero movie, and since I have no prior connection to the characters maybe I'll enjoy it as such?? Idk.

So read the comic last night, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by it.

I really enjoyed it, and I am still looking forward to the movie to see how well it's done.

Don't know if this is news or not but it looks like they're releasing the comic from Watchmen as a separate animated feature, which is probably the best choice for them because I think it would be hard to integrate it into the movie.

man BANDAI or whoever it is sure knows how to get anime movie deals on like every comic book

is there an Incredible Hulk one and like when you combine HULK SMASH with Dragon Ball Z sort of feel it's just so hardcore the screen explodes

also wtf not that I know Watchmen or anything but I didn't know there was some sort of pirate ship story in there (was it in there because it was like another comic book cliche)

the comic book kind of plays along with whats happening in the story if I remember correctly but I'm probably wrong but if I'm right then thats why it will be dumb not being in the movie and separate

Moore has said that the story of The Black Freighter ends up specifically describing "the story of Adrian Veidt".[30] Richard Reynolds states that just like Veidt, the protagonist of "Marooned" "hopes to stave off disaster by using the dead bodies of his former comrades as a means of reach his goal".[33] Moore has said that "Marooned" can also be used as a counterpoint to other parts of the story, such as Rorschach's capture and Dr. Manhattan's self-exile on Mars

nah I'm right. I also remembered the guy that owned the paper stand was rambling about the watchmen and stuff. It went back and forth between the kid reading the story and the stand guy talking and the two narratives kind of went together in a way.

wow. i must be a much slower reader (given. i have only recently picked this back up.) and i also take my time i guess. eading the watchmen, which is the first graphic novel i've basically ever touched, i felt uh COMPELLED i guess to kind of appreciate each panel, not just sorta take in the info ya know? TAKE IT ALL IN.



and i am full retard who reads like t---h---i---s WHAT DOES THIS WORD MEAN.


POLL; does anyone else look up words they don't know instantly when reading. i will not move forward without dictionary or someone around who can give a reasonable explanation.

hey whilst sort of on subject is PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT the best means of reading faster? cuz i want to read a lot now and any tips to improve my speed would be much appreciated. i guess this may be the wrong topic to ask this but it's at least kind of relevant. if no one answers me........ back to lit forum........ i go.

I still can't get over THE COMEDIAN JUMPING OFF IN SLOW MOTION FOR 20 SECONDS. Like, I get kicking the Persian dude into a giant pit, I understand that....

The clips look nothing like I expected the film to look like.

its probably to emphasize his action and make it really dramatic. I really don't get why you try to tear at this movie so much but have such high expectations for that terrible ass new Tarantino movie.

It's exactly how I expected it to look.

I'm awful.

it's exactly as I expected it to look also.
Watchmen took me a while to read, but I like to take my time with good comics and I just adore Dave gibbons.
