I like what he did with 300 visually and felt that his remake of Dawn Of The Dead was alot of fun.<BR/>He's been interviewed admitting that he is aware of what's at stake with Watchmen... if it is anything less than very good I would be shocked.<BR/>I kind of look at it similarly to when the mini-series of The Stand came out... another "untouchable" book. As a TV movie, The Stand was of course much lower budget, but I felt the material was treated very reverentially.<BR/>It won't be the comic, film is a different medium... even Sin City (and that was pretty damn close) offers a different experience (graphic novel vs movie).<BR/>But. look at it like sex... it can be different but still enjoyable.Nazz Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722964855836770177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-5551491931710846772008-08-11T19:30:00.000+01:002008-08-11T19:30:00.000+01:00Watchman is one of the cleverist most incisive gra...Watchman is one of the cleverist most incisive graphics I have read. When you lent it to me I was blown away. I am interested in seeing the film despite Alan Moore's protestations (he doesn't want any of his stuff filmed so it was obvious that he wasn't going to endorse this).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-329371205925054242008-07-25T21:41:00.000+01:002008-07-25T21:41:00.000+01:00Something else I've never read and, as ever after ...Something else I've never read and, as ever after reading your blog, something I feel I should. Now if I can just get them to pay me to sit at home and catch up on all the things I've missed.

I belive a certain Mr J Gestures BOUGHT a copy a while back, so you may be able to cadge a read.<BR/><BR/>Ypu, spot on with the music, "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" by the Smashing Pumpkins, which oddly isn't on any of their albums, it's taken from the "Batman and Robin" soundtrack.<BR/><BR/>PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-17486887581184982372008-07-21T20:24:00.000+01:002008-07-21T20:24:00.000+01:00Hello Piley.

I like the trailer and if I can offer some more promise to your early optimism, I notice it is directed by the same guy who did '300'. If you haven't seen that I highly recommend it. So I will finish my book on the Spanish Civil War and give Watchmen a go.<BR/><BR/>By the way who is that singing, sounded like the Smashing Pumpkins lead singer ?<BR/><BR/>Ta da mate.E F RICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323043569136307149noreply@blogger.com
