jesus there are so many of these.

Saturday Morning Watchmen is amazing. I like how Rorschach is a friend of the animals.

I watched it tonight with a couple friends who had never read the comic. They both enjoyed, I thought it was ok. It had its flaws, most of which already mentioned, but I found it pretty enjoyable overall.

It's rated R in America for strong violence, isn't it? Shouldn't that be some kind of hint?

Exactly. Don't cinema staff stop people from taking small children into rated movies, cause that's just ridiculous.

i don't actually think they're allowed to do something like that if the person above 17/18 gets the tickets

Isn't it strange that in a movie where a pregnant woman gets shot through her fetus, the Silk Spectre is required to not smoke? What is this world coming to?

keep posting...

Well we wouldn't want to negatively influence little children with the movie.

Yeah. Well, Laurie doesn't. It's kind of ridiculous cause why would she press the flame button on the Owlship if she didn't smoke?

Yeah she did. Tbh I reckon Laurie was one of the weakest parts of the movie, in terms of the acting and how similar to the comic character she was.

the actress for the older version of the original silk spectre was so horrible

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Ugh

As nerdy as this sounds, one thing I was really looking forward to seeing was those funky pipes they smoke in the comic. Basically a silver straw with a hollow sphere near the end, for the tobacco. It was a minor disappointment, but I did give it some thought...

In short:

Sally opening all the windows in her bungalow to let the smoke out, before Laurie extinguishes the pipe.
Janey Slater having a smoke during her interview with Doug Roth, because she's decided she doesn't give a shit about her lungs now that she's got terminal cancer
Laurie trying to have a smoke on mars, but her aura doesn't extend far enough to accommodate sufficient oxygen for her lighter. Manhattan offers to extend her aura, but she refuses.

Basically, the film was better off without all the extra baggage listed above, even if I did miss those pipes.

I really can't get this film off of my mind... I may never be able to enjoy another film again.

I keep wanting to say something to OddButInteresting (not that interesting actually), but I know that I'll just end up calling him a complete tool and he'll probably just start talking about the finer points of Santa With Muscles.
