For some reason I was ok with the nose. I think I read that particular Nixon as a caricature of the actual Nixon (whom I have no experience of outside of Futurama) so the nose really didn't bother me very much?

I find it funny that in a movie with a naked, blue demigod, the thing I found the most unbelievable was Nixon's nose.

This. Also, I don't remember this, but was there any hint in the comic that the Comedian killed Kennedy? I don't remember that at all. I know there were hints that Jon could have stopped it from happening, but that's all as far as I recall.

There's a very quick throwaway line about Kennedy, or about Dallas or something, in the comic, but it's not explicit and it's never elaborated upon.

The line is something like "just don't ask me where I was when Kennedy got shot."

I liked the movie okay.  It's not going to be heralded as lifechanging or anything - but it's okay.

I HAVE however, lost a lot of respect for David Hayter.

He seems kinda' pathetic to me now.

You do know that was posted in December about a movie that has come and gone out of theaters for quite some time now? No offense, but at this point its a bit late to be talking about that particular fact.

That being said I read that entire article and agreed with him, but then again I'm drunk and the only thing that has served to do is put me in a righteous drunk anger

I'll be over in the Drunk Thread.

Strategic acting would have helped too.

A bunch of the secondary characters were pretty bad too. The pedophile? Mickey from Seinfeld and his cronies?

I'm dying of curiosity now. Everybody's talking about how hilarious this sex scene is.

(Is it gonna be like the sex scene in Underworld Evolution and totally not live up to the hype? Seriously, that was lame.)

I'm honestly not sure what people are finding hilarious about it.

It was nothing to write home about, but I didn't laugh either...

*apparently missed the joke...

Of all the movies that I have mostly enjoyed, the Watchman had the most stuff that I thought was outright pretty crappy, and that does have a lot to do with the secondary performances and a general matter of tone. It just kinda worked out so that most of the crappy bits somehow didn't really affect the parts I did care about, namely Doctor Manhattan and the Comedian. I also really liked Rorschach, despite his heavy involvement in some of the scenes I just plain didn't care for (Pretty much everything to do with the prison.) Basically, I like the character and Haley and the costume designers did as good of a job with him as I could have asked for, so the good somehow more than than cancels out the bad, in mind. It's like I managed to compartmentalize the film into seperate movies.
