Some thoughts on "Watchmen"
Mar. 8th, 2009 09:18 amA much more elegant end-game, though I did enjoy the novel's end-game just for the corniness.
Spot on job for likenesses all the way around.
Women with waist-length hair and tight costumes REALLY should braid and pin those tresses. I know it looks really cool to have long brown hair swirling around as you beat up bad guys, but it not only interferes with YOUR vision, it's too easy for THEM to grab and yank. (Yes, I know this is nitpicking. Hush.)
YAY! Full frontal nudity!
YAY! Porn!
WHY is Rorschach the most sympathetic?
Wolf and I are in agreement, the director stayed so close to the story there's very little to complain about. What they cut out I didn't mind, as it was hard for me to keep everything straight while reading the novel. An excellent interpretation.
All that being said, by the time we got home and shared birthday cake with Mama A (whose birthday it was Saturday), I was feeling fundamentally disturbed and turned to the simple childhood comfort of Wind in the Willows and the more adult comfort of tuna salad and tea. Retreating to my British inclinations, as it were. I DID spend 4 years there, from age 1 to age 5. Not surprising, really.
