Both of you pair
 
You know, sometimes I wonder if you have too much free time.

Blah, blah, blah, same old, same old.

In the time between that and this post, I've added this image to my avatar rotation, continuing the zombie theme... and I think I'll keep going if I think up new ideas from older images. Makes up for me not being here for the next week and a half, I suppose.

I think it's important that we keep giving him things to waste time on... Gods only know what sort of nefarious deeds he could accomplish if he wasn't given such distracting busywork. He would probably undo the world.

Zombie Jamilla is awesome.

Oh, I've already located the Earth's Ctrl and Z keys. Shame that I still need the Alt key to do anything; the universe runs like Photoshop.

Although, considering Ctrl+Alt+Z is step backward, but when pressed, that'd count as an action in itself, so it would just step back to that event... holding down the Ctrl+Alt+Z keys on the world would just freeze time. Good thing It's a single-handed shortcut then.

Save the world, cure cancer, solve the Middle East crisis, Final Fantasy XIII better on 360 or Ps3 debate...the list goes on. XD

If the world works like a computer, then I'll break it sooner or later.

Smashing Pumpkins:

The end is the beginning is the end.

-or-

The Beginning is the end is the beginning.

Can't remember which is the slower version used in the trailer, but its one of the above ;p

Saw the trailer for this when I went to see Batman: The Dark Knight. This trailer is eye candy, but I like it nonetheless. Maybe it's the song, maybe it's the effects...

Well, anyway, I've read the graphic novel. My initial reaction? Something like "WTF?" My eventual reaction? Something like "Well, okay, I get it now, but I'm still not that crazy over this."

As for what they'll do to make it all fit into 2, maybe 3 hours of screentime... I don't know, maybe they'll have to cut back on certain characters' backstories, such as Dr. Manhattan's exploits or Roschach's traumatic childhood.

The song is "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning" by Smashing Pumpkins (or, more specifically, the slower remixed version, which is an improvement over the faster original version, which I've heard was nominated for a Razzie).

...And Kevin Smith says,

And just so it’s not all about me and my shit…

I saw “Watchmen.” It’s fucking astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off.

Remember that feeling of watching “Sin City” on the big screen and being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you’ll come close to watching “Watchmen.” Even Alan Moore might be surprised at how close the movie is to the book. March can’t come soon enough.

Y'know. I don't know what to make of this. Kevin Smith had never stirred me wrong before... But I just really wanted to hate this movie.

I thought it might seem appropriate to update this thread with this BRAND NEW WATCHMEN TRAILER...
http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/watch...am-2008-footage
Notice the brand-new details, like with secret hide-outs and stuff.

I'm sure you're just harbouring disappointment that Dr Manhattan is wearing underwear.

I agree. But I'm feeling the draw to it. It's so wrong, but it feels right. :(

That looks so close to the pinnacle of a sci-fi action movie that our privative HD Blu-ray 9.1 surround sound could manage.

Music felt like the Max Payne movie [/irrelevant]

Hey, I just noticed something...

In this trailer, we see more of what's-his-name when he gets thrown out the window and onto the street below. Notice the way his body is flailing and how the camera follows him... anyone else reminded of that scene in 300 when King Leonidas and his men kick the Persian ambassadors down the well?

(Maybe Zack Snyder likes seeing people fall to their doom like that... who knows?)

Considering that it's one of the most iconic shots in the entire comic, as well as the cover of issue 1, and that Watchmen was created a full ten years before 300 was, I don't even think I need to finish this argument.

Heck, maybe it's what gave Frank Miller the inspiration.

I really need to stop watching Watchmen trailers.

They get my interests up and it's not out for months.

Who bets it'll play like the end boss of The Matrix: Path of Neo.

I read about that in the latest EGM game.

It seems like it'll actually be good.
