Guys, I saw the first 18 minutes of Watchmen AND the Rorsach/grease/jail scene. AMAZING.
Well I think I speak for all of us when I say congratulations you son of a bitch.
8-)
This movie is going to please anyone that loved Watchmen. Everything we saw today was like panel for panel from the opening of the novel (plus some other stuff). The hot grease jail scene was sick. Rorsach was so badass in that scene.
And, as I am sure you all know...
No giant squid. Gibbons said he approves of them not using that since this is a movie which uses so many special effects that the squid would just seem like another special effect.
Someone asked in the q&a about a sequel or prequel and Gibbons said he would prefer if they just leave it the hell alone as it stands right now. Don't take away from the great stuff that is already here.
continuing a discussion from the questions thread:
As for 8-bit games, I enjoyed the hell out of Return of the Sinister Six -even though I can't remember anything past Electro, I do remember absolutely loving to swing around in it... then again, I was like 8.
But I might say the best NES game from a comic is Popeye. All nostalgia aside, it was a legitimately great platformer.
at a half price books i live near, they have the watchmen roleplaying game sourcebook, which is the only other "canon" source of information on the watchmen universe, but it's like sixty bucks and i can't bring myself to spend that for a roleplaying game book.
Was he at least beaten to death after being answered?
While a sequel is for sure a bad idea, I'm actually not against the idea of a prequel. I think there is enough material for it to work.
isn't the terrible looking game a prequel?
and isn't Gibbons involved in that?
The explanation for that contradiction is that the game is set during the crimefighting partnership between Nite Owl and Rorschach, and that it's only a few missions long, so there's nothing massive enough story-wise to do any damage. He explained it in an interview somewhere, and I'll hunt it down tomorrow if someone doesn't beat me to it.
But, yeah, kind of a cop out. Then again, if they're going to make a game anyway, why not sign on and at least try to make sure they don't fuck it up (which is also something he said, I believe).
Have they said what makes Agility more appealing than, say, super-speed or flight?
I haven't heard anything to that level of detail yet, as I'm sure they have a lot more mucking around to do. But overall I'm excited for a game that's more action than probabilities.

While I don't know the specifics I would imagine it dictates to what level you can perform such abilities. So if you have low speed then you can't take Super Speed, if you have low strength you won't be picking up giant boulders with super strength.
Bay is great at producing cinematic spectacles with lots of explosions and orange-filtered shots.
Ratner is only great at getting blown by trannies.
ooh, unfortunately, you can't see the explosion because Bay decided to quick pan to a hubcap for some reason.
Bay is a complete hack.

Fixed.
The 'great' part of that sentence got into a highway car chase, collided with a fighter jet and went out in a giant explosion....all in the span of 5 seconds thanks to quick cuts and MORE EXPLOSIONS.
PS: I like Bay, he does his thing and does it well (The Island!) but common, lets not get crazy here.

TLB after seeing your opinions on Nic Cage I must conclude that your taste is what we in the scientific community call "terrible."
freaking awesome... FX is a great network, this could be great.

here are some things that every michael bay movie has-
1. heavy army shit
2. "wacky" black people ("I got a gun! If i'da known this shit was gonna happen, I'da brought my motherfuckin' gun!")
3. stunning cinematography for some goddamn reason
4. a truly monster, stunning explosion
Alternatively, there is something every Bay movie lacks...
1. a plot
2. People behaving in any sensical way
3. non-sucktastic dialogue
4. Camera work that doesn't make you nauseous.

Guys, seriously? If you can't appreciate The Rock or Bad Boys 2 as pinnacles of the action movie genre... I just don't know what to say to you.
Somehow, I think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Transformers was pretty awful, because it focused not on explosions or mecha fist-fights, but instead on really sloppy characterization and terrible casual humor. Up until seeing Push this weekend, I'd say it was the worst movie I ever saw in a theater.

ah... what an excellently terrible visual that popped to mind.

and lo, I behold a pale horse, whose rider’s name was Ratner. Hell followed with Him, and everyone was made to wear many pouches.

That guy has about as much talent as Michael Bay, possibly less, and I hear he is a jerk on top of that.
