WATCHMEN Movie Discussion (SPOILERS allowed)!

[Entropy]

Thanks! The edges look weird in the pic because there are no edges. They are cut there so it will fit over the iPhone neatly and without wrinkles. Because the phone is black behind it I guess it gives the impression that those corners are part of the design... but they're not.

Ah, I see now. Not much you could do about that.

Looks groovy.

I did that same thing in this music video thing I made. Even though they wont, I wish they'd do that for the movie.

Watching the Watchmen FINALLY arrived today!

Sketch -

 

[IrishJedi]

I got the same sketch.

 

[scubasteve]

I luuuvvv it. Makes me feel warm and cuddly inside

Time to frame my cards! They are great, too

Comments on the running time--not yet approved, but getting shorter:

"We're getting really close," producer Deborah Snyder said in a telephone interview on Nov. 18. "We're at two hours and 35 minutes."

Director Zack Snyder added: "The movie's pretty long ... compared to 300, which was an hour and 58 minutes. The director's cut [of Watchmen] is about three hours and 10 minutes long. It has even more than the theatrical version as far as the detail that gets even closer to the graphic novel."

I would be perfectly happy to sit in the theater for 3 hours and 10 minutes.

Snyder should really keep his mouth shut about the original running time or any more cuts to the current movie length. He's doing nothing but inviting ire and vitriol from fans who think a shorter Watchmen film couldn't possibly encompass the entire story.

I too, would be perfectly A-okay about watching a 3-hour Watchmen flick, but I doubt the uninitiated audiences feel the same way.

Plus movie theaters hate long movies since they can't show them as much.

But hey, at least we'll know there will be a significant dvd Director's Cut release.

 

[IrishJedi]

I saw the report about the 8 minute shorter runtime earlier and was too bummed to even link to.

 

[wofford29]

All I know is we better get the extended Director's cut from the get go when the DVD/Blu-ray comes out. No double dipping.

 

[IrishJedi]

Fat chance. Warner Bros. will have the domestic home video rights. There will be at least two releases.

 

[LOTRFan]

After LOTR DVDs are becoming so much more essential anyway - that is usually why I don't see a movie more than once in the theatre anymore.

 

[tomandshell]

I don't mind buying two releases, I mind having to wait the additional time to see the longer cut.

I love that mug! The movie is cool and all, but bring on more Gibbons merch, I say.

Looks like I'll definitely be picking up the posters and calendar, possibly all of it!

Can you buy stock in Dave Gibbons? Good grief.

And this doesn't even include the 18 prints that are inside that Gibbons Portfolio!
