have any of you seen it? i saw it yesterday and it is one of the best movies i've ever seen. i wanna read the book now.

Read the book, been dying to watch the movie. Heard it is amazing.

I heard it was kinda long and slow but if you tell me it's good I'll go see it.
We were just gonna go to 'i love you man' instead.

btw, watched 'role models' this weekend. funniest shit i've seen in a long time.

Role Models is effing amazing! We had a bunch of guys over at our house to watch it and we all say the "whispering eye" around our girlfriends and they have no clue.

Haha!!! I laughed my ass off when Mclovin said that about the whispering eye.
And i love that little black kid in the wig dressed up like Gene Simmons.
Good times...

I'm not gonna lie...I thought that The Watchmen was mediocre at best. It was way too long, and there were some parts that were just ridiculously overdone, and for the most part I thought that the characters were not good. The saving grace of the movie was Rorschach. If Rorschach had not been in the movie, and it hadn't had an amazing soundtrack, it would have sucked.

Also, Role Models was really funny but it wasn't as funny as I Love You Man.

i don't drink orange juice, biatche!!!! HAHA i love role models

3 hours of blue dicks... Good grief. Y'know as a comic book geek, I was wondering if they were gonna put that into the flick or if they were going to edit out. (Let's face it the MPAA really don't care about story integrity/staying true to the original media.)

The DVD is coming out soon, Director's Cut and all... Straight up, if I could mentally swat people like flies, my balls would be hanging out too and "I Dare You"(gratuitous plug) to tell me to trouser them!!!!! LOL So there was some dudity, a lot of dudity, still was one of the better comic to movie adaption out there. The only thing I felt was missing, at least I don't remember seeing it in the movie was a quote by Rorschach after meeting with Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias, "Meeting with Veidt left bad taste in mouth. He is pampered and decadent, betraying even his own shallow, liberal affectations. Possibly homosexual? Must remember to investigate further."
Read the comic when I was younger, was really into Alan Moore's writing. V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, and Captain Brittan are great comics!!!! Good to at least check out once, if you never seen a man's "private area" then you have been for warned....

DEfinitely one of the classics despite the blue gibblets danglin' about. You gotta love Rorschach. I mean the fucker is totally insane. Though I always thought his character was a 50/50 play on Batman/Question as opposed to simply the Question. (Mind you it's the noir detective side of Bats... not the campy goofball version.)

'Course, I'm pretty much really starting exposing my own inner comic geek here, but I agree with you about this bein' a pretty decent adaptation. (And that was a great quote.) I'm just glad that they didn't fuck with the ending. I was 70% sure that they were going to try and add on some retarded "happy" ending. And the music montage in the beginning with Dylan was awesome as well.

V I was a bit disappointed in. But Alan Moore's a rather complicated adaptation to make anyway.

Good name drop, not so sure to many people would know who the Question is... Rorschach is sick, the freaking prison scenes are priceless... I do like the fact that Hollywood is starting to allow the comic creators take control of the movies that are coming out, like in Sin City, dang that movie was almost word for word and they actually used the comics for story boards to make it, Mickey Rourke as Marv was perfect.... I am looking forward to and not looking forward to more comic movies, so afraid of what they are going to do to a lot of the stories... Don't care about the mainstream such as Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, and so on, Hell they are working with almost 50 year old story lines, so how do you narrow it down into 2 hours. It's the independent and smaller names that worry me... V for Vendetta could have been better, but it was better then A History of Violence, they raped that story line.... And can they ever do a proper Hulk movie, jezz in the last movie they didn't even go into how he became the Hulk, they showed small clips at the beginning of the movie and were like fuck it, he's the Hulk now throw in some fight scenes. At least it was better then the Ang Lee rip....

I started reading comics when I was around the age of 6 and was really into Marvel, at this time I was not into DC (but I did read a lot of DC's minis like Watchmen, V for Vendetta; really was into Swamp Thing). I mostly did not read DC because I felt Superman was to "colorful" and his powers were to easy, and other heroes seemed childish to me(JLA, JSA, and Teen Titans). A few years after getting into comics, Marvel destroyed some of the story lines that not only did I like, but owned comics that lost all their value once the story line came out, so I stopped reading. Then I ran into an issue of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and fell into the Vertigo world, with Sam Keith as the artist and references to some of my favorite DC's darker characters, I was hooked again. Hellblazer, Sandman, Preacher, Black Orchid, and The Books of Magic were freaking awesome, and showed that they were starting to focus on more mature of crowds. Some of the greatest comics wrote, minus the ones already talked about (Watchmen and V):

Sandman by Neil Gaiman (all I have to say is wow, freaking amazing stories and art... Must read if you are into comics)

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller (yet another classic that pulled me back into comics when I was younger....)

Cerebus the Aardvark by Dave Sim (a classic, does anyone know this one and that the creator Dave Sim was addicted to LSD!!!!)

The Crow by James O'Barr (I am so happy that the depression that was taking over his life at the time he was writing this comic did not push him into suicide, and glad that he is still making it through the day)(RIP Brandon Lee)

Black Orchid by Neil Gaiman & Dave McKean (I really like that dark, water color look, freaking great)

The Peacher by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon ()
