  • Re: WATCHMEN -- the reviews are coming in -so far so good...

    New Moore interview:

    "Things that we did in Watchmen on paper could be frankly horrible or sensationalist or unpleasant if you were to interpret them literally through the medium of cinema. When it's just lines on paper, the reader is in control of the experience - it's a tableau vivant. And that gives it the necessary distance. It's not the same when you're being dragged through it at 24 frames per second"

      Anyway, it's a sad day when a superhero story flops.

      Goddammit.

        Does borderline box office count as a flop? It's going to make back its money.

          I didn't expect it to be TDK, but, if anything, this movie convinced me not to see any comic book movie that's PG-13.

            The problem with the fanboy mentality is that it's like existing within an everlasting brain fart.

                Fanboyism is where virginity meets Comic Con.

                          Sports fans are mostly meatheads and they obsess over something that is absolutely pointless. Art lives forever and has merit.

                          Would rather hang out with an obsessive dork than an obnoxious chunderhead.

                          And dorks READ.
