Watchmen

Dr Manhattan creates it accidently, useless as an application to everyone but those in the textile trade.

Its been a while since I read Watchmen, as Dan is re-reading it maybe he can elaborate?

What does it do? just for show?

Yes. Dr Manhattan creates many curious, er, things, some totally useless and some absolutely beneficial to mankind. The fabric falls into the useless category.

Do they go into Walter Kovacs' back story when he is in therapy?

Yeah a litttle, show him as a kid and bites this kids face off because they're bullying him, oh and he see's his mum getting porked.

It should of been explained in those scenes. Is there a scene where he tortures a child murderer?

Yeah, but he has the mask on at that point, proper does him in with a meat cleaver

And his dogs? I'm wondering if it plays out like the book? The Dr is showing him ink blot tests and he visualises a butchered dog, then the scene evolves.

To an extent. Showed the doctor showing him the ink blot tests. Was a good fil though a couple of places were a bit drawn out. Definitely worth the watch though. I went at 11.30 last night! Ha! May go again in a week or so.

I've just realised i spent most of this weekend in london and could have easily went to watch it at the IMAX down there.... DOH!

The scenes with the doctor are all squashed into one. So they had to cut stuff out. Like the fact that after Young Walter goes apeshit with the 2 buys, he gets put in a home and when he's old enough they get him a job in the textiles industry. A lady orders a dress made from the black and white moving material, but then she doesn't want it. Walter takes it home and find that by using heated scissors he can cut it and reseal it simultaneusly from that he creates his mask.

Thought the film was ace and very faithful, they just had to cut it down to fit it all in to just shy of 3 hours.

Wounded!

20% to go .......

You fund terrorism

that i do

I saw it last night. Really enjoyed it. I thought it did the Novel justice. I have read quite a lot of reviews etc and it seems the only downfall this film has is that it really does make the film better if you read the book. The person I went with had soooo many questions.


JUST READ IT!!!!!

Damn the ignorant!

pretty good

I've just been to watch it, enjoyed it, was maybe a bit too lengthy to hold my attention but that could have somethin to do with me being shattered and was working all day. I felt however even though it was a bit long there isnt really anything in there thats surplus to requirement.

Possibly not worth all of the hype that has surrounded it.

I'm bored of superhero/comic book movies now, the only thing I liked about it was this:-

I ain't seen it but... but..... what he said ^^

one of my chav friends on facebook had this to say about the film

"i watched the worst film eva last n8t called watchmen, it was omg like loads stories going on at da same tym, i couldnt keep up lol"

I couldn't concentrate because I needed a wee for approximately, the whole film.

im sending the bf to watch this one with his mate tomorrow night because i really cant be bothered....

Good call.
