Will you watch these Watchmen?
Hat:
I just realised how much more of a fan of Sandman I am than Watchmen because when I thought about that I was outraged at the thought of them trying to do justice to Sandman in a movie instead of the full miniseries it so obviously deserves.
Yet I don't really mind that Watchmen is only getting the movie treatment!
And Ozymandis has a good point, but the flipside of that is that it inspires a lot of hope that maybe they've just looked at the story and really seen something that resonates, that would make a powerful and compelling movie.
I mean I like to think that if the desire to make a movie isn't motivated by money, it can only really be motivated by a powerful desire to tell a story, and anyone who thinks this movie is going to ride the same wave as the marvel comics franchises is fucking batshit insane.
I'm probably just naive though.
Jackie Blue:
I wonder how popular Sandman is in Japan? I could totally get behind an anime Sandman series.
I could see a stand-alone film working if they used The Doll's House as the source material.

Huh? Hogfather was really great, and I haven't heard anything too bad about the animated ones, either. The upcoming Colour of Magic seems like it will be pretty good, too.
