Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

I saw Watchmen today. That was about three different movies, and I think one of them was really good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't agree with people who think the giant psychic squid plotline should have been put in there on top of all that, and what else was there to lose to make room for it and still make any sort of point like the book?
Because I think it made a similar point, just weaker.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I maintain that the point changed entirely from "we must unite to face a common enemy" to "Be good or 'God' will punish you".

I think Manhattan was more godly in the book, and that the movie did a decent job of making him alien.

I was most enraptured during the Dr. Manhattan section of the movie in the middle, and the bits with Rorschach in prison.
There were a lot of good performances, and a lot of bad music.

I loved Rorschach all the way through.
I think the space squid gives hope that a united planet can eat it. If Dr Manhattan decided humans were a problem he could just wave his hand and make us go away.
edit... but I like my typo. nb- eat s/b defeat.

How? There's no indication of why it didn't work. It was just so damned random.
I get your point that how can one fight Dr. M, but what does one do against the space squid?
