The opening credits of Watchmen was pretty good. Maybe I'll have to watch the movie after all.

Without spoilers, tell me,
1) Is it faithful to the comics or does it diverge wildly?
2) Is it good for someone who has never seen or read Watchmen stuff?
There were changes, mainly with the ending, but I felt the changes were good and you can't expect the movie version to be 100% like the book.

I went with one friend who never read the book and she really enjoyed it, though another friend didnt but that's because she didnt like the gore and rape scene, also it was a silly stupid superhero movie (she has bad tastes in movies anyways)
The movie is extremely faithful to the book but in the interest of time they had to cut a lot of stuff. In some cases the scenes they kept were changed, sometimes for the worse. There were a few things that the movie did better than the book. If you haven't read the book you might not understand the movie as well as someone who did read the book, but you will also have the benefit of not comparing the movie to the book at every turn, which is what I did.

I really liked it, so I don't need to go in that thread to argue about stuff.

Yeah I was sad about the things they couldn't keep in, but I am still anticipating the extended version so I didnt let it keep me down while watching the movie last night.

The SZ tag means it's South Africa. That's probably standard-issue carjacking prevention, actually, now that I think of it.

EDIT: No, wait, it's actually China. Yeah, now it's your definition.

Its 10:30 pm here.

Also I am getting so sick of my bf's girlfriend. She is always so moody and fighty and it brings him down a lot. Tonight we were supposed to get drunk and play ps3/wii but she kept calling him when we were watching Sunshine and got angry that he couldn't talk much and angry about him not sitting next to her last night in the theatres and other minor bullshit that he just decided to go home.

BITCH!

I hate to admit that I've acted the same way as that girl before. Ugh, that could not be long enough ago.

On an unrelated note, I smell something green. This makes me angry... I hate it when my roommates let people smoke in the house/not in the attic. Mother Fuckers

That would be Adelaide time.

Adelaide is the City of Churches.

Thus, I conclude evilbob is probably in a church.
