WATCHMEN
It was pretty good. Not AMAZING but good. Actually, I like pretty much everything up until the end when I feel they failed to generate the necessary emotional impact. I don't even object to the loss of the squid that much, but I think they should have actually had real carnage, not just a big crater. I mean, in the novel, it's like DEAD BODIES for 5 pages or something. Really, just a crater? I meh'd. Also the screen saying "S.Q.U.I.D. activating" made my day :D
Looking forward to the director's cut though. Hollis Mason's fate is supposedly back in? Most tragic part of the book, for real :(
The casting was spot on except for Ozy. He's still too young, imho. Played his part very well, but I dunno, would have liked him to be older, in a perfect world.
I have a paper to write for my Graphic Narrative class and I really don't want to do it, but it's due tomorrow at midnight and I really want to bake some bread tomorrow, so I should be writing it right now but uuggghhh. Strugglin'
I'm trying to make my captain america shirt happen, but I keep running into problems with the top shirt part. I think I'd be better off just getting a size small shirt and leaving it alone and just whacking off the bottom and leaving it as just a t-shirt.
STUPID PAPER. I DON'T WANT TO WRITE YOU.

Date: 2009-03-07 09:47 am (UTC)Again, I guess I don't know whether or not the carnage and mayhem at that part works better than what there was (although I will soon), but I can tell you that I was scared shitless. I mean "scared" isn't the right word, but I think you get what I mean. The crater was effective in the present because it reminded us strongly and memorably of previously mentioned carnage and mayhem. I don't know that in 50 years this would have the same effect, or that internationally it would, but I feel like it worked.
