and if I'm hearing things right they're including animated(?) Tales of the Black Freighter bits, with the option to have it all interleaved into the movie at the proper points. if this is old news, hey, but I was pretty excited when I heard it so there. it wouldn't fit quite as well without the sort of nautical theme the original ending had, but hey.

all told, it's going to be an incredibly long watch if they include all the stuff they should (I particularly missed the Hollis Mason thing and Rorschach's Kitty Genovese story and the way that fit in with the original grouping of secondary characters right before the end,) but it's probably that or make it into a miniseries (which probably would have been much better in terms of content and pacing but wouldn't have been nearly as profitable.)

it just so happens that the last movie I watched was watchmen so just read this post from the top again and we'll call it done.

The Black Freighter comes out on DVD on March 24th.

Last House on the Left.

Awful.
There's a rape scene, and it is fucking terrible. I fucking hated it. Not powerful and I didn't feel sorry or sad, I just hated it.

I only went to the movie because I heard a guy gets his head microwaved, and it's tacked onto the end like a deleted scene or something. But it was there nonetheless, and I didn't ask for my money back.

2010. Average scifi movie with some cheesy acting, an entertaining watch if you have nothing better to do. The book is better though. I can't really even compare this to 2001, they're completely different.

Watchmen


6.5/10

Too bland, boring and cliched for my taste, though the CGI looked amazing, and the movie had a few good moments (the beginning, the burning house and the jail scenes, and I liked the ending).

The girl that played Laurie was insanely gorgeous, but couldn't act for shit.

I hate movies with that. That's the last thing I want to pay to see.

Pretty sure they warned you about it in all the commercials/marketing... or at least they did with everything that aired here locally.

Yeaster, did you watch it a second time, or did you just feel like reposting your rating/review?

Holy shit, I didn't know I already posted that.


For some reason, I feel like I just saw it. My brain is everywhere today, I don't know what's going on.

Why exactly does it get a 6.5 if it was bland and boring but with a handful of redeeming scenes?

What sorts of other movies are you watching if that review means its above average?

bland and boring (to me) pretty much seem the definition of average so a few redeeming scenes + cool cg would put it above average, what is your problem with this score?

like if i saw a movie that was bland and boring in every possible way i would probably give it a 5, but if it has stuff that is not boring it would get a better than average score, this is pretty common sense!

I gave it a 6.5 because althought it had issues, it had other stuff going for it too that I liked. I forgot what they were though because my brain is being weird and I can't really think right now, but they were mostly technical stuff.

Despite how it sounds, I didn't hate it. I thought it was okay, actually. I just thought it was going to be better.

Basically. This is exactly what I'm trying to say, but not actually saying!
