My god. I fucking loved this. 'Scusing my French, of course. I'm re-reading the novel at this very moment, I'm seeing it again at IMAX next week. Already, it's dividing those in my circle of existence, and the interwebbing public - which was altogether expected, what with the status of Alan Moore's novel as perhaps the most important graphic novel of all time.
I think that Snyder's position as a complete fanboy means that I don't think widespread acclaim and accolades was as high a priority as a faithful adaptation of the material.
As such, I guess one could even say I'm proud of him for keeping the running time so long, in trying so hard to cram as much of each character's backstory into the narrative. Of course, this means that we've got montages coming out of every orifice, but for once, this didn't annoy me.
Oh, and I really dug the use of Cohen's "Hallelujah" :P

Goddamn fucking YES. Can't wait to see this. Hooray hooray for Monsieur Van Damme.

Thanks, chums, lovely to be on board!
The next one's brewing in my brain-machine as we speak :D
