River ,'War Stories'
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.
Let me say why, even after reading the whitefont, I am excited about Watchmen - I've never read it and have no expectations. This is why I tend to not read graphic novels of stuff they are making movies out of - I am a purist when it comes to book-to-screen translations and lose my enjoyment if I have read the material. Particularly with comic book and fantasy movies. I love them. LOVE them.
However, goddess help me if Joe's disappointed. I may have to move out until he's over it.
I'm going into it assuming that nothing can be as cringe-worthily bad as Spider-Man 3.
(The symbiote never made Peter Parker into a piano-playing, bad-dancing, watch-from-the-hall-worthy lounge lizard.)
(Ahem.)
However, goddess help me if Joe's disappointed. I may have to move out until he's over it.
Just say, "Here's a case of vodka. I'll be back in a few days."

Sounds like a challenge to me!

Those are great.

We are as one.
I know we have some fans here, so I'll note this find: a blog devoted to reviewing classic caper films.
Watchmen - Hitler finds out about new Watchmen [snip]. (Yet another Downfall remix.)
Spoilery about one of the major changes from the graphic novel.
I don't know why I keep finding these Downfall remixes so funny....
eta: Also, we learn that Stalin considered Watchmen unfilmable....
