What's next, Nightowl has hair straiteners in his belt while Rorshac self harms himself cos his mum don't understsand him while Doctor Manhattan can't get his skinny jeans above his arse?<BR/><BR/>Visually it looks cool though.

And while I think the shot-for-shot thing works with Miller's art, because he's so kinetic, I'm not sure it works in this case. <B>Watchmen</B> was so very much an exercise in comic book language that transferring it, as is, to the screen strikes me as a pointless task. It would be like making an adaptation of <B>Oliver Twist</B>, by just filming the pages of text.<BR/><BR/>Unlike Terry Gilliam, I don't think <B>Watchmen</B> is unfilmable, but I do think it's rather unadaptable as is. Ironically, Snyder is going to have to dumb it down to make it work on film, but in slavishly following the original comic panels, he's going to end up pulling in the opposite direction.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035532277642340343.post-10025246834176295502008-07-19T08:09:00.000-07:002008-07-19T08:09:00.000-07:00whyyyyi loved the trailer - a lot of it looks exac...whyyyy<BR/>i loved the trailer - a lot of it looks exactly like scenes from the comic (except more sophisticated). dr manhattan looks incredible - and i love the scene where he's kissing silk spectre - and the final shots as the music dies down beautifully<BR/>love it - why dontcha like it?Marthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05271833234728655301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035532277642340343.post-8640307335198776782008-07-19T07:41:00.000-07:002008-07-19T07:41:00.000-07:00Yep, it's going to be crap. of course it is.
