BTW, I left the theater with a smile on my face .... but I saw it IMAX and it was great on IMAX Mon, 9 Mar 2009 03:54:50 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/smason/2009/03/08/studioestimates/#IDComment16608748 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/smason/2009/03/08/studioestimates/#IDComment16608518 Hey, it's all there in the comic and the movie, Ozy's plan will fail, it's just a question of when. Rorshachs journal will be published, but maybe nobody will read it or take it seriously. I don't think Moore sees Ozy as the hero, his view is totalitarian ( more leans more libertarian ) , Rorshach is more sympathetic but gets killed of but his version might prevail, Dr. M makes it clear Ozy's doesn't and the story ends with just plain folks getting along with each other.

Everyone enjoyed it for what it was. It held everyone for the whole time. I think the changed ending is much better. I was finding the graphic novel a bit tedious and the space squid .... a real shark jump if you ask me. Really makes it hold together keeping DR. M the common enemy. The alternate power thing, not necessary though. BTW, nods to Apocalypse Now and Dr. Stragelove were fun. Must be others I missed.

Just the same excited about the movie, but then again, I'll watch RD-Jr in anything .... and I'll see it in IMAX, big and LOUD will be great Mon, 2 Mar 2009 23:33:42 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2009/03/02/whos-watching-the-watchmen-reviewers/#IDComment16083573 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjena/2009/02/17/i-walk-an-outside-line/#IDComment15363483 since casey affleck was there taping the interview as well I think it's pretty clear this is a come on of some sort ... we'll have to see the finished product but I doubt very much he can sustain like Andy Kaufman, OTOH what would a scraggly drugged out looking ex-actor want to rap about? I'm curious but I expect to be unimpressed and bored but not disappointed since expectations are VERY low palate cleanser, find AK singing along to mighty mouse theme, will keep you smiling all day, starnge and wonderful Tue, 17 Feb 2009 23:05:44 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjena/2009/02/17/i-walk-an-outside-line/#IDComment15363483
