watching
Topless Robot has the latest Watchmen pics.
why the hate on the G.I. Joe movie? every single comic movie is now measured against The Dark Knight and Iron Man, when we know equalling or topping that won't happen. tell us its stinks after you watch it, or at least a sizable amount of critics and the viewing public have, and they explicitly state that it does.
i think the viewing public's tastes have matured in the last few years, with respect to comic book movies, that's why we had 2008 (that even includes The Spirit and Punisher: War Zone, right Doomkopfers?), and that's why production companies are mining all the material that they deem will make a buck. we should be thankful that they're throwing money to bring the fun stuff from our childhood to life, and in a medium that's evolved much since Nicholas Hammond started crawling on walls lying flat on the ground. i wasn't a fan of Transformers movie, though i did go out and watch it, and i understand they wouldn't be able to make it 10, 20 years ago. as long as it respects the material and the viewer's sensibilities and intelligence, everyone wins. if you feel you don't like it, vote with your wallet.
if Watchmen makes a bajillion dollars, that's a victory for us all, considering its a story that happened to be using the superhero genre, not necessarily your standard capes and tights big-ass action fare. well, even if makes a tidy little profit, and wins general approval, that's fine. maybe TDK had high expectations, especially after the circumstances surrounding its production and the hype thereafter, but did you really expect Iron Man to succeed like it did? one thing we can say, that if we get geeks and Hollywood to work together, we'll get quality movies. of course we won't know until the final product is rolled out.
really, as long as no one in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie yells "Cobra-La-La-La-La!", i'm good.

on the clock
so what does this mean? are they gonna release it or not?
“Fox owns a copyright interest consisting of, at the very least, the right to distribute the ‘Watchmen’ motion picture,” the ruling said.i would think if they do agree on releasing it, Fox gets a huge slice of the profit pie?
