______________WATCHMEN______________

This movie looks like it will be pretty good. From the director of 300, and brought to you by DC, the same people responsible for bringing you the awesome Dark Knight.

I thought it was the fucking justice league.. was disapointed as hell, I've never read/ seen the 'Watchmen' before though... but i'll admit, it looks like its about to kick ass.. I'm excited for the next bond too, I almost skeeted when I saw the DBS again!

I'm looking forward to this too, but I really don't see how it's going to work. There is too much content in the book for a 2-3 hour movie. They're either going to miss stuff, or try to cram it all - both will be confusing for fans of the book.

No, it will be confusing for people that haven't read the graphic novel - they won't be able to fill in the blanks.

People that have read it will simply be pissed about the stuff they leave out. I can tell you right now, if I were writing a script treatment I'd simply trim almost all of the un-needed backstory - Rorschach's psychotherapy , most of Laurie and her mother, the previous Nite Owl, most of the flashbacks to the Minutemen, etc.

I don't, but I'm glad to be living in a time when SFX are good enough to do them justice. Some of the stuff from when I was a kid was just sad. I gotta say, though, Superman from 1978 still holds its own; there's something to be said for letting the characters and writing carry the story as well as the effects.

"Let me guess - half his check goes to his gray-haired old mother."
"Um, actually, she's silver-haired."

"Is that how a diseased maniac gets his kicks? Plotting the deaths of innocent people?"
"No, I get my kicks from causing the deaths of innocent people."

"Whoever gets him to talk will have the most important interview since ...God talked to Moses!"

"She's having trouble breathing, sir."
"I recommend vigorous chest massage. If that doesn't work, try mouth-to-mouth."
"Yes, SIR!"
"Soldier - I wouldn't have one of my men do anything I wouldn't be willing to do - stand back."

"Some people can read "War and Peace" and come away thinking it's a simple adventure; others can find the secrets of the universe in a chewing gum wrapper."
"Lex, what could chewing gum have to do with the universe!"
"<sigh>...right, Miss Tessmacher..."
"...polysorbate 80? ana...anaba... what's that word?"
