Re: Zack Snyder talks Watchmen

That's one way of looking at it. The other is that we now have a list of forum members who actually subscribe to Entertainment Weekly.

I've had a subscription for over half my life, not ashamed but I do get pissed off whenever they change formats.

Time Warner has been doing a good job using EW to push Watchmen on the public. They've had 2 or 3 covers, tons of stories with sidebars explaining the universe. We'll see if it works or not soon.

Have any tracking numbers come out yet?

Re: Zack Snyder talks Watchmen

some of them are pretty cool and others don't really impact me cuz of their short length. I really hope it lives up to the hype. 300 failed in that dept for me. It could never live up to the trailer. Also...Fuck the Queen subplot in 300, absolute waste of time..

Re: Zack Snyder talks Watchmen

At this point you'd think they'll just post the whole movie. Heh.

Magnolia Films premiers their films on HDNet before they run it theatrically. I'm looking forward to The Great Buck Howard showing next month staring John Malkovich. This is probably the biggest movie they've ever ran as a freebie. Gotta love HDNet.

Re: Zack Snyder talks Watchmen

I think the audio's a bit off on this one...also the music doesn't appeal to me. Maybe cuz it's off balance, the audio's off no matter what..maybe when it's in sync it's a better clip..

Meh. I'm gonna stop watching clips and wait to see it as a whole next week. Every clip I've seen has been a disappointment. Silk Spectre looks like she's just working out during the prison break, lazily lifting her legs and twirling around.

Re: Zack Snyder talks Watchmen

Well, one little non-PC detail of the graphic novel won't be represented:

Quote:

Warner Bros. Forced Watchmen's Laurie To Go Cold Turkey
By Meredith Woerner, 7:00 AM on Thu Feb 19 2009, 19,386 views

The Watchmen movie pays insane attention to the graphic novel... except the main accessory in superheroine Laurie Juspeczyk's life, her opium-pipe-looking smokes. Why do the movie's supermen get to smoke, but not the superwomen?

It's no secret that Zack Snyder paid insane attention to the detail in Watchmen. We've seen full pages of Tijuana bibles, and a to-scale Gunga Diner recreation. But Laurie's smokes are noplace to be seen. So we asked the OCD director himself, while he was doing press for Watchmen, why Ms. Laurie Juspeczyk has kicked her habit.

Where were Laurie's smokes, Zack?

"Yeah, Alan hates smoking. Alan Horn - the head of the studio - that's his biggest, biggest thing. The Comedian can smoke, because he might be a bad guy, he's the bad guy, but that's it. That was the line that he drew."

But aren't those kind of a small plot device for the character to watch her go on and off the wagon?

"I was sad, but it was either that or...the movie wouldn't have been made, literally."

So what did the actress Malin Akerman, who donned the latex costume for Snyder's movie think?

Were you disappointed that your character didn't smoke in the film?

"Yes I was actually. I mean with everything else that's going on in the film you're kind of like, she should smoke up too."

Well why I can't necessarily strongly disagree with this move (because apparently smoking is bad for you) why do the bad boys like Big Figure and The Comedian get to suck on cigars, and poor Laurie has to don the patch? I smell a double standard. Either way, I'm sad we won't get to see her fumbling with that odd-looking pipe. Watchmen will be out in theaters on 6 March.

http://io9.com/5156140/warner-bros-f...go-cold-turkey

If that's what it took to get the movie made, so be it. But it's silly (this is an R rated movie, no?). I'm surprised Horn let the Comedian smoke, since he already has that mustache to twirl.

I was wondering why I never saw those things...kinda sad. I mean really? It's a character trait that matters but isn't an end all kind of thing.
