Watchmen live-action adaption

My hopes for this movie have soared for this movie after seeing that shot of Nite-Owl, not doing anything cool or explodey or special, but him slouching, depressed, holding that button. It's rather unhealthy how happy I am that they've kept that scene.

Five new clips from the movie. These are actual pieces of the movie, not just spliced shots.

Okay kids. It's been rated MA15+ in Australia for Strong Violence and Sex Scene. I didn't like 300 much at all but this already has much stronger source material to draw from. I'm really looking forward to it, I just hope that they don't ruin it.

Hey, Adrian has a German accent. [spoiler]There's no way he can be evil. At all.[/spoiler]

I'm really excited by these scenes! The actor who plays Nite-Owl is a dead ringer for the comic book art, and Jackie Earl Haley just...moves the way I expect Rorschach to move. And they're including the backstory parts yay!

I'm really liking Night-Owl's voice acting. It sounds like I'm listening to a superhero of the 60's ideology who believes in simply doing the right thing in a world that isn't so easy.

Rorschach is too deep for my personal tastes (based upon his look and figure, I imagined him sounding semi-deep but not a raspy "I've smoked for the past 15 years" voice.

I pray there isn't going to be a lot of slow motion scenes, or this film is going to severely ruin my expectations. It doesn't seem like it's going that direction, but I'm not holding my breath.

I'll be seeing this opening day with a friend. Based on where I live, there's probably going to be at least one Rorschach cosplayer.

Man, it was actually everything I ever wanted in Rorschach. It's the one time when it actually sounded just like I imagined it.

This looks interesting. Though I've never read the comic books. I guess I'll watch it anyway.

Just four days.

They were selling special deal $2 tickets for this movie in one of the lobbies at school at 11AM today.

I got there at 12:30 and they were all gone D:

One of my friends is taking a class called the Film Experience. He has to read the GN and then they're going out to watch the movie on Sunday (field trip!). I took that class last year... I wish I had waited...

Cool new promo site.

Seriously, that thing is awesome. Try typing in some things that are stereotypical to see in Rorshach ink blot tests. It's fun.

EDIT: Oh my goodness, type "Alan Moore" when he asks what you see in the ink blots. :lol:
