RKMBs Forums .::Robegories::. Media "Watchmen" movie coming soon!!

Yes.

I watched the theater cut, then the directors cut.

By the time the ultimate cut came out I found it very boring.

I have to say the whole thing seemed kind of soulless to me on the repeated watches.

Owner of a lonely heart.

It's like when the chick walks into the cafe and they play 99 Luft Balloons. It was kickass to here an 80's classic in the theater, but the context they played the song with her walking in and him checking her out, it didnt fit.

one thing i thought was particularly good in the film was the portrayal of dr. manhattan's isolation; his disconnection from the world, how that bothered laurie and those around him, how he was somewhat bothered, if not intrigued, by his own indifference, etc. i got a lot more out of that in the movie than i ever did from the book.

i think the acting here (and i dunno how much was CG and how much was soylent green) was awesome. unlike nite owl's rigid performance, which was awful, there was a lot of depth to how silent and still dr. manhattan was portrayed -- to the point where you could actually note what ozymandias saw in his subtle emotional displays.

btw, was a connection ever drawn between nite owl and earth 3's owlman? either in the books, or a backstory?

No.
Dont forget, when the Watchmen initially came out, it had absolutely no connection to the DCU. It was at a time when the infinite Earths were gone/going and Elseworlds had yet to exist.

No, he's Blue Beetle....as an owl.

Dont expect Rob to know things like the actual history of how the Watchmen came about in the first place.

Or how to cook fried eggs GODDAMMIT ROB HOW HARD CAN THAT BE

seriously.

i know of the charlton comics background, i just thought it was interesting that moore created a character so similar to an existing one ...out of a character so similar to another existing one.



i know of the breakfast background, i just thought it was interesting that more create sunny-side-up eggs ...when sunny-side-down has just has much potential

I think originally Owlman didn't look that much like Nite Owl. For Earth 2 Quitely redesigned most of the characters and added some Watchmen touches to Owlman.
