I just don't see how they'll get anywhere near the scope of the book in a two or two and a half hour movie.
Hey, wanna play the favorite "Casting Watchmen" game?
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Patrick Stewart as Dr. Manhattan?

Patrick Stewart as Dr. Manhattan?
Hm. I always see ol' Jon Osterman as being younger than Patrick Stewart.
Maybe Liam Neeson? With his head all shaved?
I've always been partial to Dan Aykroyd as Nite Owl, but he may be getting too old for that. Maybe Greg Grunberg, though.

That could work. I just think we know Patrick Stewart looks good bald, although I agree that Dr. Manhattan is probably much younger.
Maybe Greg Grunberg, though.
Hee.
Christian Bale is too pretty for Rorschach, isn't he?
Wait, he spends most of the time covered in bandages, so it doesn't matter...

Sometimes I think William H. Macy for Rorschach. Then I wonder.

Always Anti-fascist!
Have any Buffistas seen "Shut up And Sing?" cause Netflix sent it today. I hope it's FG. Also, (thrall alert) Ken Burns' baseball, volume one.Which the object of my thrall insists is mistake-prone, but I am *such* a blank slate, that I'll learn more than not, I think. Like the only thing I know about baseball versus quantum physics is Annie Savoy and that song about cracker jack. And you hit with the big end, right?

I could actually sorta see Christian Bale with his hair bleached as Ozymandias.
I also kinda think Michael Keaton would make a good Rorschach. He can do the right kinda crazy, I think.

I thought you'd like that. I looked at the picture on Wikipedia and thought, "Who's a burly, craggy-faced guy who looks good chomping a cigar?" The answer was obvious.

Ooh!

Aaah, yes.
So who's got Zack Snyder's e-mail address?
