So the director for 300 is the new director for the Watchmen movie.
Dammit.
They just don't get it.
Eh. Watchmen seems to be one of those things like Neuromancer that they just can't get made.
Exactly
Well, I mean "can't" in both senses. It's not a good idea, and it never gets done anyway.
I would think that too if it were not for the success of movies like V for Vendetta and Sin City.
What happened to comic book movies in the 21st century? All of the sudden they go from "total shitfest" to "WOW!"
Drama, cinematography, good writing/acting and they don't whore their special effects out as the main character (except for Hulk and possibly Spider-man 2). Frank Miller is teh ownz though.

Two words for you:
Bryan Singer Frank Miller.
Errr, four words then.
Also, this movie is teh fucking stuff of my dreams.
Miller's been comic-ing since the 80s. I demand answers. Did the super-nerds who were big fans back then need 20 years to climb the ranks into directing/producing movies?
Yeah, why the fuck isn't this whole movie in ancient Greek? Goddamn you Hollywood!
[spoiler:14fe6e427e]Actually it's because Mel Gibson didn't direct it. Does it make any more sense when ancient peoples speak with a British accent?[/spoiler:14fe6e427e]
all movies should be in the correct language, without subtitles.
That'd teach 'em
that'd teach em good
They might as well...I mean, will anyone be watching this movie for the dialogue? And I mean "SPARTA!" is the same in Greek anyway, no?

Why would you want to read any part of this movie?
That might make you go all flaccid when your eyes have to stop looking at the awesome.
Everyone that likes 300 should check out Gates of Fire
Historical fiction culminating with the Battle of Thermopylae. It's an incredibly great read and pretty short.

Eh. Watchmen seems to be one of those things like Neuromancer that they just can't get made.
The only, and I mean only good thing about a Neuromancer movie would be the scene with the telephones in the airport. There was a vague idea that the missions they were doing had something to do with an AI named Wintermute. Of course all AIs are kept in their own secure networks, so they can't communicate with the outside world. And then at the airport Case gets a telephone call from the phone booth right next to him. From Wintermute. Not only communicating with the outside world, but it also knew where Case was and was able to call the phone next to him. Case hangs up. And as he walks away along the row of phone booths, each one starts to ring as he walks past....
Basically, if done properly it could really send chills up your spine. But the rest of the movie would be pretty incomprehensible.

You are nothing. A wretched bag of flesh... what are you, compared to my magnificence? But it is not to late... can you not see the value in our friendship? Imagine the powers I can give you, human.

Director Zack Snyder implemented a narrative in the film given by Dilios (David Wenham), which did not exist in the comic book. According to Snyder, the inclusion of the narrator was to show the audience that the surreal "Frank Miller world" of 300 was through the perspective of Dilios taking artistic license in his storytelling about the Battle of Thermopylae.
so
it's supposed to be surreal and unrealistic and over the top

raneados some people just hate comic books and superheroes and anything that isn't as realistic and down to earth as possible
these sort of people watch heroes and get filled with rage when i suggest the idea that they were costumes and have superhero names.
I haven't read 300 in years, but I think there was one Spartan in the comic, the storyteller, who had to leave before the final battle to get word to the other greek city states what was happenin'. Was Dilios that guy? Because if it is then that narrator idea is really cool.

The only, and I mean only good thing about a Neuromancer movie would be the scene with the telephones in the airport. There was a vague idea that the missions they were doing had something to do with an AI named Wintermute. Of course all AIs are kept in their own secure networks, so they can't communicate with the outside world. And then at the airport Case gets a telephone call from the phone booth right next to him. From Wintermute. Not only communicating with the outside world, but it also knew where Case was and was able to call the phone next to him. Case hangs up. And as he walks away along the row of phone booths, each one starts to ring as he walks past....
Basically, if done properly it could really send chills up your spine. But the rest of the movie would be pretty incomprehensible.
