Watchmen

You musta looked like a pretty mature 12 year old

I was fairly tall which I think is what saved me.

What's next for Zack Snyder? I'm thinking live action Maus.

lol, that's the movie Spielberg should have made instead of Schindler's. Would have suited his sensibility perfectly

Just saw it again tonight. Great movie. Enjoyed it even more the second time.

There's a lot of interesting subtle things, like when Manhattan is transferring the generator to Antarctica, there's a sign in the monitor that says S.Q.U.I.D. It's an acronym that stands for something, but I thought it was pretty clever. Also, I noticed that the logo for the newspaper looks a whole lot like Rorschac's logo that he leaves with tied up criminals.

Once again I thought the soundtrack was pretty well perfect, and didn't really have many qualms with Silk Spectre's acting. A few of her lines early on are delivered kind of awkwardly, but I see her performance getting ripped on a lot in a ton of reviews and don't really see what was so horrifically bad about it.

Now I'm just looking forward to the DVD with all the stuff they cut out. I'm hoping it's more Ozy backstory and less pirate story, though. I feel that Ozy's backstory would help flesh out the movie even more, and improve it, while the pirate thing was more analogous to the medium of comic books, and appropriate in the comic book form of the story. Watchmen works as a movie, but the whole point of the pirate comics was a meta commentary on comic books. The only way I could see it making sense in translation is if, in the movie's version of the world, the pirate story was a cartoon or a movie instead of a comic.

My two cents.
