Too many lose ends that couldn't be properly worked together. The "pay off" for the opera house was just bad. The importance of Hera makes no sense. The flashbacks were useless. The willingness of all these spacefaring people to go down and breed with cavemen and have no indoor plumbing..... about the only thing I liked was the Admiral Adama / Roslin ending. I've listened to some of the Ronald Moore podcasts, and it's obvious they've been flying by the seat of their pants the whole time. They ran out of gas and nosedived this thing IMO. Still... it doesn't ruin for me what were the really great moments of the series - most of which were totally disconnected from the mythology: the threads that involved the politics of the fleet, intrigue, betrayal etc. In the end it's about what I expected, because there was no way they were going to be able to tie it all together in 2 hours in any satisfying way - especially since they've been doing nothing but waste time since the mutiny arch.

Titanic was pushed back 6 months. I can imagine this becoming a summer 2010 release.

But I won't "shut up", particularly since you told me to. Peter Jackson proved what a talented director can do to truly ADAPT a story... Kevin smith is a hack who thought the Prequels were better than LOTR, who can't seem to get over his homoerotic obsessions involving hobbits and wizards. But I can't say I'm surprised Smith is ejaculating all over Zach Snyder and Watchmen - he is working for WB now after all..... then again he's allowed to have whatever opinion he wants, as are you... but me? No I need to "shut up". If something's popular around here you apparently aren't allowed to disagree.. saw this same behavior surrounding the Dark Knight. Very cultish and creepy IMO.

I know Kevin Smith thinks he's Jesus, but I think he was in way over his head. I can only imagine what a more talented and genuinely "visionary" directory could have brought. Someone with more ability to work with characters and dialog. Perhaps some of this is the fault of the screen writing, but regardless - Synder strikes me as a good music video director - not a good film director.

It's the sort of thing that could lead to better personal conversation between the two men in the future. Shared language and shared culture is what has created the so called "special relationship" between our two countries Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:51:28 +0000 http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/03/11/the-25-dvds-obama-gave-prime-minister-gordon-brown/#IDComment16769671 http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/03/11/patton-oswalt-says-people-complaining-about-the-watchmen-adaptation-should-stfu/#IDComment16765026 Watchmen wasn't exactly a failure pile in a sadness bowl IMO, but I'm not so sure Alan Moore was wrong when he claimed that the comic was the only medium this story could effectively exist in. I think it will end up being something of a cult classic in years to come - but that isn't exactly what WB had in mind when they invested hundreds of millions in production and marketing. Judging by the 3 people in the theatre with me when I saw this opening weekend Sunday (and their confused lackluster response), I expect this movie to ultimately bomb. And the future for R rated comic books movies? Nonexistent.

That's what some random person on the internet told me... and I'm too weak minded to have an opinion of my own, so I base my opinion of experiences on what other people think before I even experience them.

I haven't really liked any of the Trek movies. This trailer has got me more interested though! Abrams has got balls, got to respect it.
