Someone surprised him and said he was overdue for his youtube video. He clearly wasn't prepared for that take. Half of the video is him stuttering, pausing, and smacking his lips. That's ok. He's still gathering his thoughts. I'll give him time yet. His opinions need time to percolate. :lol

...and most of it is actually civil!:banana

I'm stunned. Simply stunned. :cool:
 
Well.....if watch on, he said he would've had a sequel or a prequel to Watchmen, and he would've given it a 10/10








:lol
 
Wow, for a Watchmen review he sure did talk about Batman and Robin, and Brazil a lot. I don't know why some people have such a big problem with the new ending. Sure the one from the book is better in my opinion, but the movie ending is still good.
 
It didn't help that it had like 5 fade-to-blacks (or whites)... but wait, there's more!!! (don't get me wrong, I love the whole LOTR series, but that was a bit much... it was like they didn't want to say goodbye :lol)

It actually only had 3 fade to blacks including the last one and a fade to white.:lol:lol:lol It really isn't as bad as people act. Kind of like Manhattan's ^^^^.
 
I have never actually left a movie... although I've come close twice... once in Hostel (not to make anyone mad, but that one of the dumbest movies to ever get a wide theatrical release).

Derail...continued....

'Hostel' was one of the best comedies I saw that year on DVD. I love films that obviously are trying to be serious and end up being a laugh riot.

....derailment over.

OH ... sorry, my bad - 4... ;) Like I said LOVE LOTR, it's what got me into this whole world of Sideshow, but I really did think it was kinda funny when I first saw it in theaters and everyone started clapping and getting up to leave every time there was a fade, then sitting back down again :lol
 
So who did Mick Jager and David Bowie play?? I saw them in the credits but couldn't remember seeing them.

There were actors playing Mick Jagger and David Bowie. They're in the opening credits montage behind Ozynadais at Studio 54.

I don't know how anybody could think the first fade would be the end. It happens when Frodo and Sam are just lying on a rock with lava all around them.:lol:lol:lol The second I can understand because I think it happens right after they have their reunion/pillow fight/Gandalf leering.:lol:lol:lol
 
Bowie and Jagger weren't playing anyone they were being impersonated in the Studio 54 opening shot.

Ah, ok. I just saw their names really quickly in the credits (which were the fastest credits of any movie I've ever been to) and was trying to figure it out all night. lol

Again, I hate that fat ^^^^er and hope he dies in a fire!! I want a time machine to go back in time and hit his father in the junk with a 20 lb. sledgehammer.





Dusty, I promise not to punch your baby.

I think it was definitely the slo-mo pillow fight one that got most people :lol

Back on topic for Watchmen - as for length, I do remember looking at my watch at the 2-hour mark and thinking "oh man, 45 more minutes to go!"

And am I the only one who thinks Dan is a clone of Clark Griswald? ;)
 
Sadly, I can't really say I'm surprised that so many people apparently don't get WATCHMEN. Zach made about as accessible an adaptation as possible (while staying true to the source material) and still a lot of the reactions are so predictably banal that it's apparent it would never have worked for many, and especially the mainstream.

Eh, whatever. I'm more than happy with it and will be even moreso with the additional cuts. You guys can have all the Batman, Spider-Man and Iron Man flicks you want. They all pale in comparison and can't be taken seriously anymore (for me anyway).
