Some sad news guys:

An Oregon Man Commits Suicide During Watchmen:

A Eugene, Oregon man shot himself to death in a movie theater while watching a late showing of Watchmen, just after midnight Monday morning.

Authorities say about 10 other customers were in Regal Cinemas watching the hit flick when a few registered complaints with the manager of a “popping”-like noise they heard about halfway through the film. The 24-year-old man was found in the rear of the auditorium with a gunshot wound to the head. Police say the man committed suicide and was dead when they arrived.

A bit late with the review...

The Good:
>Almost everything.
>The opening sequence. Wow.
>Using Manhattan as the ultimate weapon/boogie man was far better and more believable than Ozy creating Cthulhu. When I saw the cyclopean cephalopod, I was like... Doesn't this undermine the whole 'real world' base of the book? Mahnattan was an extreme fluke and should have remained the only truly 'super' thing in the comic, but the presence of psychics and the ability to create that kind of creature really took away from the comic for me. And when Cthulhu detracts from a comic, that says alot.

The Bad:
>99 Luft Balloons? Seriously?! I actually said, "Wtf?!"

The Verdict:
>Really enjoyable and faithful to the source material. I plan to buy the dvd and keep it right next to my Absolute Watchmen.

Quick aside...
What do the Star Trek TNG episode 'Night Terrors' *shudder* and the movie Watchmen have in common? You have until Monday, then I reveal.

The Bad:
>99 Luft Balloons? Seriously?! I actually said, "Wtf?!"

the lyrics of that song are actually very pertinant to the story, and the fact that war could break out at the drop of a hat, amongst other things.

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got.
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone.
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, Something's out there.
Floating in the summer sky.
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons.
floating in the summer sky.
Panic bells, it's red alert.
There's something here from somewhere else.
The war machine springs to life.
Opens up one eager eye.
Focusing it on the sky.
Where 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street.
99 ministers meet.
To worry, worry, super-scurry.
Call the troops out in a hurry.
This is what we've waited for.
This is it boys, this is war.
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk.
With orders to identify.
To clarify and classify.
Scramble in the summer sky.
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 dreams I have had.
In every one a red balloon.
It's all over and I'm standing pretty.
In this dust that was a city.
If I could find a souvenier.
Just to prove the world was here.
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.

Whether or not the lyrics were relevant, the style of the music itself as well as its positioning were quite jarring. Sure, it's a lovey song mixed with the two lovers in the story, but it literally made people in the cinema look around and grumble, if not laugh in that 'WTF' way.

All the answers to my question. Wow!
...and now: the eagerly anticipated answer to the mind-boggling question, "What do TNG's 'Night Terrors' and the movie Watchmen have in common?"

WATCHMEN: DIRECTOR'S CUT

A deleted scene featuring the Hollis Mason character is up over at Latino Review. In it, Hollis talks to Sally Jupiter and receives house-guests. This might sound boring, but this is a Zack Snyder film
. Consider this a main sequence spoiler if you have never read the book. Promoting the film last spring, Snyder mentioned this was the scene he had the hardest time cutting in the theatrical version.

Plus, CHUD has a list of exclusive seens left on the cutting room floor.

Enjoy.

Some sad news guys:

Eugene (KMTR) – A man shot himself to death in a Eugene movie theater just after midnight Monday morning.

Police say about 10 patrons were in an auditorium at Regal Cinemas watching the movie “Watchmen.” About midway through the film some of the moviegoers told the manager they heard a “popping” noise like a gunshot. A 24-year-old man was found in the rear of the auditorium with a gunshot wound to the head.

Police say the man shot himself and was dead when they arrived.

The patron closest to the man was sitting two rows away.

I guess he didn't like the film.

Well....I liked it, anyway.

[MB.Eddie]

Saw this the other day and thought it was great! Better than Sin City.

Have never read the comics.

[MIZA]

i thought it was awesome, i enjoyed it a lot, even my girlfriend enjoyed it, i thought the pace was brilliant, i never got bored for a second, whereas in TDK i was looking at my watch quite a bit in some parts.
my girlfriend asked me a few questions, all of which i answered with "just watch and you'll find out" and she did, i can only imagine the movie is better on the second viewing for people like that.

this movie is better than 300 in every way imho, the gore is brilliantly and comedically done,

Spoiler:

watching an unassuming bespectactled guy break a beefy thug's arm is hilarious not something you'd expect to see in real life, but then again clark kent is a just an unassuming bespectacled guy too

there are a few things i was sad to not see,
a) more of hollis mason
b) snow speeders (they walked!!)

it's a shame to keep the nength of the movie down they cut a lot of characterisation to keep in as much action as possible, i look forward to the directors cut with baited breath

Yeah i enjoyed Watchmen quite a bit most people i have talked see it is good , but very weird ! i don't think my Mom liked it she didn't like the strong sex and violence , but i think that added to the movie quite a bit.

i especially liked Jackie Earle Haley i thought he is very cute in the movie with and without the mask
