I'm glad the older Silk Spectre didn't have the hairdo they gave her in the GN. That would have been bad.

IMHO, nothing they could have done to the old SS in the film could have made her any worse than she was. Hell, the poodle hair might have put her over the top.

Yeah, I also thought the make-up job was sub-par ... but the GN hairdo would have been tragic.

I'm sad the movie didn't take the GN Mars Greatest Hits tour, though. That was beautiful in the book.

Oh, and now that I've read it ... the Alien Dead Squid Fake-Out could have totally worked in the movie. If they couldn't make it work, then they didn't have the correct tone in the first place. So I'm with the BAH on changing the ending ... after practically filming the comic frame-by-frame.

But there's way more to TONE than duplicating the piece frame-by-frame.

But you knew that already. And also, you weren't asking me.

Percentage of internet topics made about the Watchmen movie

Ghoulish Delight · 04-06-2009, 02:56 PM

That might have been clever......if it didn't add up to 180%

SzczerbiakManiac · 04-06-2009, 03:01 PM

One can discuss more than one thing in a single post, so I don't think they need to add up to 100%.

Generally you don't "make topics" about more than one thing.

I forgave the quirky grammar as it's obviously a non-English speaker. But I fail it for math, which shouldn't need translation.

I was thinking about the Rorschach cleaver to the head scene. The GN wasn't as graphic. I wonder why they chose to go the graphic, gross-out route with the film. A satisfying end in the film for that dirt bag, but the GN didn't seem to find it necessary to go all gory...
