Raw Shark lives!
should be a 12 part HBO series by BobWalnut	Nov 21st, 2007 05:11:44 AM
as the adaptors are obviously finding out. Too much integrated detail in the thing for a 2 hour flick.
Needs Giant Robots and Big Fucking Lions. by TomBodet	Nov 21st, 2007 05:48:53 AM
You know I'm right.
Um. Okay. by IAmMrMonkey!	Nov 21st, 2007 06:14:30 AM
So it might be out on a seperate DVD? That's totally going to confuse people who've never read the book. Can't they add it to the movie? I have a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really bad feeling about this movie.
Oh dear....... by godhatesyou	Nov 21st, 2007 06:27:35 AM
It sounds like this movie is rapidly spiraling out of control. It was to be expected i suppose.
I'm not saying this will be either good or bad, but... by beastie	Nov 21st, 2007 06:57:55 AM
... it sounds like Snyder is putting forth as much (probably more) effort than any one of us geeks would do. I respect that and look foward to all of these bonus materials. He has great ideas, but I'm holding off judgement until I see the final project.
Wow, I wanted it animated . . . by Nice Marmot	Nov 21st, 2007 07:10:02 AM
. . . but I wouldn't watch it by itself. If they cut it into the film on the DVD, I'm already drooling for my copy. Please be good, please be good, please be good . . .

Well, I knew Zack Snyder... by Kid Z	Nov 21st, 2007 08:07:53 AM
...would figure out some way to fuck this whole project up.
Somewhere Alan Moore... by Kid Z	Nov 21st, 2007 08:09:47 AM
...is sitting back relaxing with an old Little Lulu comic... and laughing hysterically!
Very worrying? by GaiusBaltarsMojo	Nov 21st, 2007 08:44:20 AM
I always feel that when directors are talking about the DVD before the film is even released (or halfway finished!!) it is very ominous. Because surely they should be focusing all their efforts on GETTING THE FILM RIGHT! Screw the jam-packed DVD - i'd sooner it got released with no extras than for the film to be a crock of shit. Who watches Snyder?
this is the STUPIDEST idea ever by BurgerKing	Nov 21st, 2007 09:05:53 AM
Wasn't the point of the black freighter to be a parallel to the main plot of watchmen? So releasing it completely seperately would be pointless...the story alone means nothing, it has to reflect the apocalyptic present in the story to have any point to it. Obviously the retard studio exs think that just blasting it out there will make us fans rejoice. No. That is wrong. Also, animated is a stupid idea. The point of the movie was to see a real world version of this story, so making it animated sort of defeats the purpose, even if it's only a small portion of it. Fuck, this movie is going to blow.
The only way this will work by Reel American Hero	Nov 21st, 2007 10:24:52 AM
Is as extra material cut into, and I'm assuming watched separately on the extended cut dvd. Putting either of those bits by themselves takes them out of the context of the story, in the case of 'The Black Freighter', or would lessen the impact, in the case of the Midnighter interview. I don't see them thinking of this extra material for the dvd (hopefully), as harmful to the movie now, Snyder's just trying to make this film the complete Watchmen movie experience. There's no way possible to cram all that into a theatrical audience friendly running time, but for an everything in the comic book is on the screen here cut for dvd, like Sin City pulled off, this would just make it even better.
On a side note, whatever happened to the days when... by Reel American Hero	Nov 21st, 2007 10:26:04 AM
AICN had their own stories, not just a click here to read the news that this site has place.
in the middle of reading the book again by theredtoad	Nov 21st, 2007 11:39:18 AM
and I couldn't be more excited
"Watchmen Babies in V for Vacation" by Zardoz	Nov 21st, 2007 01:16:43 PM
Milhouse: "Which character is your favorite?" Alan More: "Arrrrgggh!" Funniest. Simpsons. Ever.
Starting to read "Black Dossier" right now... by Zardoz	Nov 21st, 2007 02:36:20 PM
So excited. I've only waited 4 years for this to be out. (and had it pre-ordered for over a year on Amazon) I am such a geek...
