I'm watching watchmen right now and I didn't catch this until now "comedian was practically a nazi." Also, rorschach is a conservative. Slutshaming and homophobic.

they really should have drawn that scene out more. at least put some silence in the middle, between the intrinsic field separator accident and the first time he starts to reappear. give the story time to breathe.

watchmen would have done better as a miniseries i think

Good news. Posted 10 hours ago, found when I did s search for doomsday clock
https://www.google.com/amp/ew.com/books/2017/10/06/dc-comics-watchmen-doomsday-clock/amp/

There's the motion comic which is 5 hours. The directors cut is 3. There wasn't a lot of room left to let things breath. I think the movie is real good.

id be up for play by e-mail as i love smac and it would suit my inconsistent broke brain.

also smac pro-tip that im sure i've posted before: add DirectDraw=0 to Alpha Centauri.Ini in the game's install folder like below. that makes it display/scale properly on today's modern computer systems (your screen will bug the gently caress out though when it plays the secret project vids that in 640x480):

the fact they cut out the 'first wave' of watchmen entirely from the movie basically ruins it and turns it into another run of the mill superhero movie because that part of the comic was critical to understanding the 'second wave' watchmen

which i can't really fault the director for trying because how the hell would you fit all of that into a long rear end movie. they shouldn't have even tried. single-season miniseries will be a much better format

The main thing that griped me about Watchmen the move was the fact that it totally missed the reason for the 'end of the world' denouement - the squid (I don't know if they could have made it work on screen but still) is meant to be completely outré and bring together humanity against a possible common foe, Doc Manhattan is an American Asset, just saying oops he's gone rogue sorry our bad is not going to defuse international tensions like at all.

it was so weird: a bad movie by a bad director that was straining really hard to be a good movie and faithful to the source material. there was nothing cynical or hackish or corporate-driven about it. snyder tried his hardest to make a great film and do right by the original story, he just lacked the talent and ability to pull it off. an interesting, unusual failure
