Watchmen

[Angela V]

Finished it. Has to go back to the library since there's many others waiting to read it. I checked out the movie. Ended up finding out that Alan Moore just doesn't like anyone making movies from his stuff. Though he seemed to get shafted by Marvel and DC too over the years. I do have to wonder if we'll be seeing a naked blue guy on the big screen

My local library seems to have many of his works. I'm getting V for Vendetta next.

Ahhh, the library. That's how I started reading Alan Moore (and graphics novels in general) as well.....and then I absolutely had to buy my own copy Watchmen after reading it (and then I had to borrow the giant-size version from the library anyway when they bought that.....). And then I bought V for Vendetta. Which I didn't read right away because I wanted to movie completely out of my mind before I read it.....and now still haven't read it. Must do soon.

The only other movie adaption of his work that I've seen is "From Hell", which wasn't a bad movie. But I have no idea how it compares to the original source material, as I have not read it.

I've been wondering that about Doctor Manhattan myself.....

But I don't want to know anything about this movie ahead of time. I just want to sit down in the theater and be surprised. And if it's good, it's good. If it's not I've wasted $10 and I'll just go back to the graphic novel. A bad adaption doesn't change how I read a book.

Anyway, I'd say Watchmen is my second favourite graphic novel.....after Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series.

Not anymore.

(But having seen it earlier in the day, I can agree with the OMGAWESOME sentiment. Entirely.)

[Trek_Girl42]

NONONONONONONONONONO!!!!! I missed it. Why would they take down a trailer? That's kinda like shooting yourself in the foot isn't it?

Oh my god. This kinda looks like it'll rock.

[Sp!der]

Watchmen, was it alan moore or frank miller?..

[Lady Snow]

Alan Moore (and Dave Gibbons).

[ToasterOnFire]

I'm excited, but I'm not really sure how the graphic novel will be interpreted onto the big screen. It's pretty complex and discombobulated.

[Kezia]

I just saw this trailer on the big screen and it was effing EPIC. And Zack Snyder's directing

[GateofDOOM]

Wow. That actually looks good!
