I will be leaving very very soon. As soon as I'm done on the forums

jaybug · « **Reply #156 on:** March 05, 2009, 06:38:45 pm »

Did anyone from the forums mention that they are going in the Eugene area? I'd hate to have to read all 12 pages to find that no one has said.

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #159 on:** March 06, 2009, 03:44:55 am »

that movie was... freaking amazing!!

i wanna go see it again ^.^

favorite parts, anyone?

mattstotts46 · « **Reply #160 on:** March 06, 2009, 06:33:03 am »

SPOILERS!!!

I like it when Rorschach was getting arrested by the police and when he went to prison. Rorschach is such an interesting character!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #161 on:** March 06, 2009, 07:11:56 am »

Ah, I...love...this...movie! It was fantastic! And I do agree, Rorschach is just awesome.

More *SPOILERS*
The end made me very sad, for obvious reasons based on the previous statement. And made me love Rorschach even more.

And, other than that, it is pretty much impossible for me to pick a favorite scene. The entire movie had my eyes glued to the screen.

Okay, the opening scene is forever burned upon my memory. I know I will always rewatch that scene a couple times for every time I watch the film. Just something about it draws me in and keeps me something fierce.

I also love Eddie Blake. The Comedian is another amazing character.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #162 on:** March 06, 2009, 09:42:59 am »

I loved the movie too. My favorite part? Hmmmm....Yeah I have to agree with Matt, the prison. XD The whole "I'm not locked in here with you. Your lock in here with me" part was funny. XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #163 on:** March 06, 2009, 09:58:44 am »

Agreed, the fact that there wasn't a second where Rorschach wasn't in total control in the prison was just killer.

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #164 on:** March 06, 2009, 04:30:09 pm »

agreed with all the above statements ^.^ rorschach is definitely one of my fave characters. the ending made me love him all the more... *spoiler... maybe?* just all the emotion in his voice at the very end of the movie, ahh it got me... i love things like that...

i can't pick a fave scene either, everything was just fantastic!! i was reading the a&e in the oregonian and they only gave watchmen a b... they suck! lol. they were criticizing some of the music choices and the actors who played adrian and daniel, and the extended sex scene (*spoiler-ish?* which, while awkward, it was also funny and helped to lighten the mood a bit) but i loved everything about the movie and can't wait to see it again ^.^

and i'm super excited to plan out watchmen tattoos with eve >.O

and i think we should have a get-together to watch the tale of the black freighter when it hits stores later this month ^.^

Man of the Public · « **Reply #165 on:** March 06, 2009, 05:00:18 pm »

I see no point in labeling spoilers for something that's over 20 years old now.
But then again I read the book before the movie was announced.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #166 on:** March 06, 2009, 05:17:04 pm »

Just because it has been out there for a while doesn't mean everyone has read it or had access to it. People still deserve the chance to experience the film fresh without anything being previously revealed.

And yes, Kahlan and I have both agreed we want to get one of Rorschach's inkblot designs tattooed. ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #167 on:** March 06, 2009, 06:27:44 pm »

yeah that sex scene seemed a little unnecessary but it was funny.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #168 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:26:35 pm »

haha, I liked it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #169 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:30:31 pm »

Hanging out with friends before the movie was fun ^_^

But yeah, I agree, I really wanted to go see it again today, or this weekend.

I'm thinking maybe next weekend or the weekend after that

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #174 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:44:21 pm »

Yeah, I am thinking this is a movie I could be totally justified in going to see twice. I think I'll plan on doing that sometime before it leaves theaters. (And if I go, you know you are too, Kahlan. ^_^)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #176 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:47:04 pm »

yeah....I may it is a few times in theaters

Kahlan4 · « **Reply #177 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:49:57 pm »

if i had the money, i think i'd be seeing it a few times a week >.O but alas, i don't have that kind of money, so i'll just have to settle for seeing it once or so more in theaters. but gotta spread it out a little... hehe

nikkiolie · « **Reply #178 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:51:11 pm »

I may have to download it and watch it whenever I want. It will be a movie I buy once it is out on DVD

PockyReno · « **Reply #179 on:** March 07, 2009, 09:49:51 am »

The movie was fun. ^^ Rorshach rocks my world. It was awesome bumping into people there to. *Waves to Nicole and Devin* I didn't even know you guys were going to be there, lol. That was awesome.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #180 on:** March 07, 2009, 09:52:19 am »

haha, Midnight showings are good at reuniting the hardcore, heh. Even though I didn't know anyone else there who didn't come with us, it was nice to see so many enthusiasts and people who were just super stoked to see the movie. There was an energy in the theater that I hadn't seen since going to the midnight showing of Star Wars Episode II or Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #181 on:** March 07, 2009, 08:10:00 pm »

yeah it was a lot of fun hanging out with people. It was nice to meet new people.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #182 on:** March 09, 2009, 09:12:33 am »

Just to add a little bit of hype to the Watchmen world, a reminder that The Tales of the Black Freighter will be coming out on DVD at the end of the month! (If you've read Watchmen then you'll remember the little comic-within-a-comic that was a brilliantly gory allegory for the events going on in the real world of Watchmen). And if that doesn't draw you in...the main character looks like Nathan Explosion from Metalocalypse.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #183 on:** March 09, 2009, 09:14:51 am »

I want to get the movie that just came out. It's the comic on dvd

*is too lazy to read*

Yeah, I heard about that, lol. Sounded weird to me...but I really like having a book in my hands, so that's just me, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #185 on:** March 09, 2009, 02:24:49 pm »

I think I would rather have the book in my hands than read it on the computer but I don't have any money =/

i'm super excited for that ^.^ i thought the tale of the black freighter was awesome in the book, but i didn't give myself enough time to delve into it much. i am really interested to hear the full story, since it seems you only get bits and pieces in the book. the animation looks great from what i saw in the trailer, and the story is so gory and horrific, i'm excited to see where they go with that >.O plus, you can't beat gerard butler voicing the main character ^.^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #187 on:** March 09, 2009, 04:12:34 pm »

Yeah, in the book you only got the one story called "Marooned", that is the main story that reflects the events of Watchmen, and it is the only one shown in the trailer, so I am not sure if this animated movie will be of all (or at least some) of the episodes from the Tales series, or just "Marooned". Should be amazing either way though.

And I'm interested to see "Under the Hood" also, the book by Hollis Mason (Nite Owl I).

uraharafreak · « **Reply #188 on:** March 09, 2009, 07:31:55 pm »

Just saw Watchmen yesterday. It was freaking awesome! Although I am almost done with the book I was still surprised by the amount of nudity and sex there was, but at least the production team didn't shy away from it. Absolutely loved Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach.

I can't wait for the extended cut of the dvd. Supposedly Under the Hood and Tales of the Black Freighter will be edited back into the movie. The movie, last I heard, might be rereleased in the theater later this year with those two stories added back in. Supposedly there are about three or four planned versions of the dvd.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #189 on:** March 09, 2009, 07:34:43 pm »

That would be freaking amazing. I am really looking forward to seeing it again this week

Wow! I had no idea they had plans to re-edit the film, even less of an idea that they were possibly going to put it back in theaters! That's amazing!

And thank you! Someone else who seems to share the same viewpoint I do on the topic of the nudity in the film. ^_^ I was really happy to see a film that embraced the entire human anatomy. They weren't drawing the viewer's attention to any certain parts, but they weren't hiding those parts either. I thought it was brilliant and a great mark of progress for cinema.

melchizedek · « **Reply #191 on:** March 13, 2009, 11:57:48 pm »

Did like, some of the people didn't act well but liked ink face dude, he was awesome. And yes, way a whole lot of sex, I got sick of seeing giant blue glowing penis

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #192 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:03:42 am »

See, I think that is a pretty big problem with the modern perspective. We've come to a point where we confuse anatomy and sex. I (as I've said before) like that the film did not shun any given part of the anatomy on Dr. Manhattan. Anatomy in itself is not dirty or explicit...but I'm getting too philosophical, aren't I?

melchizedek · « **Reply #193 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:08:43 am »

nah, it's fine, I'm just stating my own personal opinion

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #194 on:** March 14, 2009, 12:13:00 am »

Yeah, didn't mean to attack your view. Sorry about that.

^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #195 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:18:05 am »

again I liked the whole thing. I didn't find many problems with it
