Will you watch these Watchmen?
MusicScribbles:
The thing that I did like about 300 was that it was, panel for panel, the comic book. If this movie were to at least marginally represent that, especially with the dialogue, I will pleased.
Although I will be seeing this regardless anyway.
Ozymandias:
300 was fluff as a comic book and as a movie.
It's Frank Miller.
It's easy.
MusicScribbles:
You're right there Ozy, but I hope this means something when it comes to sticking with the source material.
Either way, I don't feel like I need to be reassured because the movie that is made will have no way of being affected by me. I can only watch as one of my favorite stories is either beshrined or demolished.
What I'm saying is that instead of worrying over whether or not this movie is going to let us down horribly, we should discuss the way the movie is being made to adapt the source material.
I'm going to see this whether or not it's 'supposed to suck'.

Dave Gibbons visited the set.
--- Quote from: http://rss.warnerbros.com/watchmen/2007/12/dave_gibbons_visits_the_set_pa_1.html ---It's perhaps the most surreal experience of my life.
There they are, in a shadowy clubhouse, standing around a map of the USA, just as we'd imagined them. The smoke of the Comedian's cigar hangs in the air as I drink in the details of the scene. Framed old copies of The New York Gazette tell stories of past exploits; trophies glint in glass-fronted display cases; Moloch's solar weapon shines in a dusty corner and over there, on its mannequin stand, the faded costume of the original Nite Owl keeps silent vigil.
Then, a sudden flash of unearthly blue light announces the arrival of Dr. Manhattan and the tableau comes to life. The voices of quarreling heroes rise and fall, a Zippo flares and the map catches fire.
Somewhere, someone shouts "Cut!"
And I'm standing amongst them. Nite Owl shakes my hand. The Comedian slaps me on the back. Silk Spectre smiles a dazzling greeting. I'm overwhelmed by the depth and detail of what I'm seeing.
But more than that. I'm overwhelmed by the commitment, the passion, the palpable desire to do this right.
I'm starting to feel a glow that eclipses even Dr. Manhattan's...
