I just got done watching "The Watchmen" on Blu Ray (on the 52" 1080p HDTV in full Dolby Digital surround on Definitive Technology speakers). The movie was pretty bad ass and I think most of the people who frequent this site would like it for it's social commentary, nudity (there's even a lot of man ass and a blue CG penis for Iowafan), dark themes, and solid special effects.
For anybody who has read the graphic novel, I think they should be pretty pleased with how well the story translated onto film. Besides the different ending which might have some "Watchmen cultist" types crying on some internet message board, I thought they really nailed it.
I was just kind of wondering if anyone else has watched it yet. The message behind the movie could provide good material for some interesting conversation. I would definately suggest watching it.
There are a couple of warnings though, since it has a run time of about 2 hours and 45 minutes you really have to commit yourself to watching it as you do need to pay pretty close attention to what is going on. Also, it is not at all a movie I would suggest letting a kid watch if said kid is a big pussy or under the age of 10, it's just not meant for kids.
If anyone has seen it or watches it, I'd like to hear some reactions to the film.

The only thing I can say about the Watchmen is that the guy who put the trailer together should get a fucking raise. A big fucking raise. I heard from several people that the movie sucked ass, but I said "oh the trailer looks pretty good, I'm gonna go check it out." Big fucking mistake. Sucked ass. Social commentary sucked ass. Typical Hollywood liberal fucking drivel.

Typical Hollywood liberal fucking drivel. That kind of suprises me. I really liked it. At least it's a little thought provoking, unlike something like Transformers (not to imply that you are a Micheal Bay fan). I guess I can sort of see why you could say it is liberal drivel. Oh well, different strokes. |

I saw it and thought it was pretty good overall. Kind dragged on in the end. I liked the whole alternate reality where Nixon doesn't resign and superheroes are real. The whole social commentary thing wasn't all that intriguing to me. I'm more interested in the super hero thing. I really liked most parts that involved Rorshach. The girl was hot fo sho'. Sort of gross that she screwed the blue man and then she let the nerdy dude bone her. I mean she goes from nuclear blue man to nerdy dude. Just didn't have much chemistry on screen I guess. Although we did get a glimpse of her little boobs.
If you really want to watch a sh*tty movie... see Observe and Report starring Seth Rogen as Paul Blart Mall Cop. I am not very judgemental of stupid comedies especially ones that involve Rogen and his crew... but this one was sort of a turd 90% of the time.
Another sucky movie I saw over the weekend was called "Long Weekend" starring Jim Caviezel (aka the guy who played Jesus in Passion of the Christ). Man talk about a steaming dog turd. Almost as bad as Observe and Report. Basically a horror flick with Mother Nature as the scary guy. In this movie, mother nature does some freaky sh*t like makes Jim C. wake up next ot a dead manatee.. talk about almost shitting my pants.
I've been watching some bad ones lately...

Anyone watch Appaloosa? I like Westerns and am a big Viggo Mortensen/Ed Harris fan......but Renee Zelwigger is a horrible actress who always has a sour look on her face.....like she just swallowed a big nasty load from one of the Wastelanders. She ruined the movie.

She ruined the movie. Of course she ruined the movie. It's what she does. Every movie she has been in could have been MUCH better had she not been in it. Case in point: Cinderella Man. Fantastic flick. Yet, could have been a HELL of a lot better if "Opey" had not cast that ugly twat in his film. Basically, she is a female version of Dane Cook! |

I wouldn't trust your opinion on the color of the sky, you piece of useless shit. No one gives half a fuck what you think. |
