I'd still rather see a new story than a cramming attempt at the existing one.
The whole cold war thing is a huge plot point. You leave that behind and it's not the same story any more. You can't toss in some bullshit about terrorists and expect it to work.

Oh, I agree. I also think that if you take enough of it out to get it into two hours it's also not the same story any more. I mean, which huge plot points are we going to lose?
I understand some people are still optimistic about this film, and good for them. I'm just not - I'd rather see something different done, y'know? If they came up with a new story in the same style, not only could they avoid leaving out somebody's favourite part, but they could also get in everything important to their story, and also not bore me to tears while I'm watching it :P
Why are people so curious if Doc Manhattan is going to go full frontal. Was it really that integral to the story?
When he first appears in full form, those people aren't scared b/c some glowing blue dude just popped up out of nowhere. They're terrified of blue cock.
I liked the V for Vendetta movie, I got a portion of the comic book with my DVD and wasn't that impressed with it. I like what Moore did but not really how he did it... I don't know. Also, Moores elitism annoys me. Evey being a prostitute? Eh... Also, who cares if "eggy in a basket" isn't real? Get over it, mb? We'll see.

I'd be annoyed if my work was gutted like a fish. But I'm just elitist, I guess.
Moore gets pissed when people change his work because, like all authors, he put everything in for a reason. (yes even all the britishy-tea&bangermashy-ness)
The artists who make the movie, are also making all the revisions for a reason. The conflict can only be settled with a Deathrace:2007!

Evey isn't a prostitute. She's a scared little girl who goes out to whore herself for the first night ever because she can't pay her bills. Didn't you notice how clumsily she solicited the guy she came across? (He even remarked on it.)

Sometimes that reason is pandering.
They got the whole facism = bad angle, but they cut out the scary anarchy shit to pander to a middle class liberal audience.

I'm glad someone pointed it out.
People werent supposed to rejoice at the idea of V bringing down the government. It was supposed to be thought provoking, it was supposed to make the reader think, "Oh.. thats.. pretty screwed up. But its for a good reason, right? Maybe?"
V's solution was not inherently better than the problem he was trying to solve; however, it had the potential to be better.
Why are people so curious if Doc Manhattan is going to go full frontal. Was it really that integral to the story?
Yes
He gradually wore less and less clothing, symbolizing how he was distancing himself from humans
Ok, that doesn't mean his dong has to make an appearance. i don't think it was gradual either, he had his goofy helmet thing and briefs, then he was floppin in the wind. granted, time had passed...

I believe he went from full costume with helmet to shirt and pants to sleeveless shirt and speedo to speedo to bluedong

I'm less concerned with the speedo and more concerned with whether they keep in the scene where he tries to have a threesome with Laurie and himself.

And then she runs out and there's a third one carrying on some chemistry experiment.

I wonder how many dicks are going to ruin the Rorschcach reveal for newcomers by yelling, "That's Rorschach!" when they see him in his civilian form.
Or will we be protected by the fact that most people are probably not entirely sure how to pronounce Rorschach?
Has not knowing something ever stopped people from being dicks?
The two police officers have a scene where they pronounce his name phonetically ("Why would I want Raw Shark?") .
I am pretty sure that they'll heavily announce all the names of the costumed adventurers just so they can make a killing come Halloween (Thus using capitolism to not only mock the central themes of the original, but literally sell the opposite values...).

Adam West as Nite Owl I? Perfect. You should e-mail Zach Snyder that idea, and you know, have him ignore you.
See my game reviews at: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=strangegamer
Because Moore said that was as close to perfect as a Watchman movie could ever be. I even think they got pirate story in it.
Are you saying that because that's what happened, or just to be a jerk?
I'm going with 'jerk'.
No, they really did pass on it.
Oh, I agree. I also think that if you take enough of it out to get it into two hours it's also not the same story any more. I mean, which huge plot points are we going to lose?

You could be raping my mother and I still couldn't be mad at you.
after seeing 300 I really doubt it
Yeah nudity is not an issue with this guy.
was there a lot of naked dude
'cause i totally didn't want to see 300
You wouldn't understand it

What would make you consider Moore an elitist?
I'd be annoyed if my work was gutted like a fish. But I'm just elitist, I guess.
And what a magnificent heiny it was.
Anyway, in the comic half the Spartans were butt nekkid, so I can see him cutting Doc Manhattans nudity.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
No, but it was integral to our enjoyment.
