[Film] Watchmen
Anyone going to see Watchmen in another few weeks from now. I love the graphic novel and I can't wait to see this for sure, I read most of the reviews and they have been great.

If you have the dough, I'd recommend the huge "making-of" tome I saw in Borders the other day. I didn't thumb through it while I was there, but it looks immensely insightful.

Oh I'll be seeing it. The graphic novel is art!
But after seeing some clips of the movie my passion has diluted a bit. Despite all his naysaying to the contrary Zack Snyder looks like he overdid it on the "Cool Slow Motion Kick oh my god it's fast again!" action scenes. Plus removed from the wicked perfect trailers some of the performances seem a bit....horrible. All the reasons why I hate 300 with a passion are boiling back to the surface.
Jackie Earle Haley though will become a legend as Rorschach and for his vital one scene role in Scorsese's "Shutter Island"

I have to admit, the trailer does look fantastic. Smashing pumpkins works well.
I've been pondering checking out the original graphic novel, but western comics never really interested me.
Is it really that good?

I read it in my mid-late teens at a local library. It is good. Mind that this was around 1990, it's not many comics that get translated to danish so (relatively) soon after the original release.

I hope I don't burst your bubble too badly by mentioning that the Smashing Pumpkins song used in the trailer comes from (*shock!* *gasp!*) Batman and Robin. Ah well, if there's one thing that movie is good for, it's the song.

I'll only watch it if I can see it in the original superior Japanese with subtitles.
God, Apparently you all have been discussing Q since November. Catching up on the discussion is harrowing.

-On EMF, as a thread becomes longer, the likelihood that fem-Kaworu will be mentioned increases exponentially.
-the only English language novel actually being developed in parallel to its Japanese version involving a pan-human Soviet in a galactic struggle to survive and to export the communist utopia/revolution to all the down trodden alien class and race- one of the premise being that Khrushchev remains and has abandoned Lysenko stupidity
