Subby hasn't been following the Watchmen production diaries. This is going to be amazing.

BalugaJoe: They took the Squid out .. I aint watching.

You'll get over it...

DrMcNinja: adamgreeney: Eddie_Dean_NY: Tr0mBoNe: paulseta: Tr0mBoNe: paulseta: I hope it's as good as The Phantom Menance. I think that was the best film I've ever seen apart from the new Indiana Jones and also Leonard Part 6.

Star Trek V was the best of them all.

I thought Howard The Duck was better, but I am also fond of Spiderman 3.

I'd like to stay and chat but Elektra is on TV and it's my favourite movie of all time.

That's ok, I'm going to go watch my Criterion Collection DVD of The Phantom.

Speaking of, does anyone know if Spice World is going to hit Blu-Ray?

Transformers.

Obviously none of you sorry sops have seen or remember the glory that is Waterworld.

I like the blog post. If it is true to the source, it should be good, at least thought provoking.

I heard it borrows heavily from 'KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park'. While some may consider it unoriginal or even downright plagiarism, if it can channel even one percent of the unbridled awesome of that cinematic gem, I don't see how the Academy can ignore it and maintain its integrity!

InmanRoshi: It's a good (if overrated) graphic novel, but the nerd one-upsmanship it inspires where one has to proclaim from the mountain top that it means more to him than pu$$y and beer combined so everyone will know he's "hipper than thou" is farking pathetic.

Nicely done. You make a valid argument.

IMHO no movie I've ever seen has ever been as good as the book. There have been some that have come close and then there are those like Jurrasic Park that bends the book over and buttfarks it. The guy did a pretty god job translating 300 to the screen I'll give it a chance.

Wing Commander might be the greatest film in cinema history. That or Speed 2: Cruise Control.

I can't wait to see this movie opening night in my Dr. Manhattan costume. I'm pretty sure it's not indecent exposure if you have blue paint on your junk.

therecksays: IMHO no movie I've ever seen has ever been as good as the book.

No one EVER will.

Besides that, any one been to the main site? They've got some great stuff there.
They have an old 80's video game with Watchmen characters.

This better not suck, dammit. I need my summer superhero movie fix.

Yeah I saw that, and it was awesome, but once you get to the subway entrance there's nowhere to go. You can't go further down the street or down into the subway, it just gives you a dead end.

Manos: The Hands of Fate

t3knomanser: mfaby: it's not like it's LOTR I,II or III.

Ugh. I watched them once. They were impressive bits of filmmaking, but I'll never watch them again. They were more watchable than the books were readable- I hated the books. Tolkien is an awful, awful writer.

Obviously if you hated the books you aren't going to be thrilled with the movies, especially in the case of these particular books/movies. I read the books in my much younger days and loved them. As for the Watchmen, never read it but the movie looks intriguing.

Subby is a moron...go figure...it's on Fark

Tr0mBoNe: albo: but the ending will be near impossible to get right. I have no idea what he's talking about. Nor do I wish to find out... he was rather passionate about it.

I accidentally-on-purpose read something from a source that is fairly credible discussing how the end is handled. I won't go all spoiler on you, but if it happens like I read, it's a different path that gets to the same destination. If it wasn't bullshiat, it sounded fairly intriguing and shouldn't goof up the story at all for anyone who isn't a rabid fanboy.

How about Jaws? Much better movie than book.

Also, The Godfather certainly gives the book a run for it.

But wait! You haven't heard my epic tale of how my unique love of the Watchman shaped me into the individual I am today!

/I was fresh out a womb when that book hit the shelves, and I didn't read it until last Thanksgiving
//The movie looks to please, but you won't see me throwing down the gauntlet on Watchmen-haters.
///I've got no grand claim about it's first run or anything

A headline that is the exact opposite of the actual article?

On MY fark?...

Mentat: Hibno: I can't wait to see this movie opening night in my Dr. Manhattan costume. I'm pretty sure it's not indecent exposure if you have blue paint on your junk.

Ha! I have a Rorschach costume that I'm considering.

I was just thinking a really easy costume would be to just wear a bathrobe with a smiley button. There will probably be lots of comedian costumes, but not too many comedian death scene costumes.

Humidor: Manos: The Hands of Fate

"Yeah, you know. Manos... hands of fate."

(shrugs shoulders)

"I mean, what ya gonna do? Hands of fate and all that."

"Hey Torgo. Togro! Beer? Beer? Dude, I'm buying."

Also, Die Hard? Who even reads the book that was based on anymore? I think the movie can definitely be better than the book, it just has to go in a different (more visual) direction. Like The Shining, for example*.


*Please don't hurt me if you hated the movie.

Sarcastica75: I am looking forward to it. Wish I could see it with my friend, but that's life.

/don't care that the squid ain't in it.



Wot she said.

The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes....on laster disk.

Ill get the popcorn ready!


Do I win?

Not seeing it. Fark you, Snyder.

//the rest of you are farking lazy

flimsyexcuse: Also, Die Hard? Who even reads the book that was based on anymore? I think the movie can definitely be better than the book, it just has to go in a different (more visual) direction. Like The Shining, for example*.

It isn't a movie, but I think the TV show Dexter is vastly superior to the books it's based on.

tshetter: The Computer That Wore Tennis Shoes....on laster disk.

Hahaha I have never heard of it but I am down for a screening. I'll bring my copies of 'The Mangler II' and 'Surf Nazis Must Die'.

Hibno: Mentat: Hibno: I can't wait to see this movie opening night in my Dr. Manhattan costume. I'm pretty sure it's not indecent exposure if you have blue paint on your junk.

I like the idea, but I can't grow a mustache worth crap.

Maybe as the assassin? Wear all black, cover my face?

I how could I forget to bring along 'Unidentified Flying Oddball'

Sir Vanderhoot: Maybe as the assassin? Wear all black, cover my face?

Or post-cancer diagnosis Moloch. Just don't eat between now and the opening.

Well, maybe you philistines haven't heard of Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, but it was robbed of an Oscar.

I've been following the Watchmen threads here on Fark for a while now, and I've got to say I want to know how in the hell I missed this book when it came out? I was 14 in 1986. I've never been dress up in costume and go to comic con geek, but I was an avid comic reader with a decent collection and had plenty of geek acquaintances. SOMEHOW I should have at least HEARD of it. Nope, nada, nothing till the movie talk started up here.

Can't even do geek right
/off to sulk and watch the 80's Transformer movie
//promises self not to cry again.

Maybe they don't want shiatbag reviewers and entertainment media people to reveal major plot points? I know its already a comic but they announced changes I think to throw the reporters who just farking LOVE ruining shiat for people who haven't read/seen it.

t3knomanser: calm like a bomb: It isn't a movie, but I think the TV show Dexter is vastly superior to the books it's based on.

I'm just happy they're continuing on from the animated show. I was always curious about what became of that character.


Am I missing a joke here?

"Now the special thing that it still feels like only I know about has been given to the whole world."

Fugckin say who whaat now?

Lando Lincoln: That's never a good sign.

Read "we know our money's made on opening night, and we know lots of folks are going to be pissed after seeing it, so we don't want anyone to blow our opening-night numbers."

MickCollins: Maybe they don't want shiatbag reviewers and entertainment media people to reveal major plot points? I know its already a comic but they announced changes I think to throw the reporters who just farking LOVE ruining shiat for people who haven't read/seen it.

Kinda the point - the "major plot points" have been published for a very, very long time. If the movie's plot points are different from the book's plot points, it's a mess on the face of it. Imagine if Peter Jackson had changed "major plot points" with Tolkien's work? Say, oh, I dunno, changed the friggin' ending?
