Okay so I saw Watchmen again

[shadowkitty]

I know, but my bf loves superhero movies, despite never reading comics. He has agreed to read Watchmen now, though!

Things which are a bad idea:

• Seeing Watchmen with someone who has just talked to his father for the first time ever (srsly, the guy called up to complain about his ex-wife, who he has not seen for twenty-five years. Who the fuck does that?)



• Seeing Watchmen with an epic Alexander the Great fanboy.

Anyway, look what I noticed the second time!



Oh Zach Snyder. I hate you a little less now.

Afterwards I asked my bf what he thought of it: *blank look* *loooooooong pause* "I think that went over my head a bit."

Except he keeps singing Hallelujah at really inappropriate times >:(

Oh, wow.

Okay, I'll forgive the film-makers a lot for that. (Someone told me that existed, but I missed seeing it when I was actually in the cinema)

I completely missed the 'boys' folder the first time, even though I knew where it should be.

I WAS JUST GOING TO POST ASKING IF ANYBODY WANTED TO GO SEE IT AGAIN. Also, that? Is awesome. WELL PLAYED, SNYDER.

Did you download the torrent that got posted the other night? I could put it in the ftp, the quality's pretty good.

[roz-mcclure.livejournal.com]

No I have not! And I can't remember where the new FTP is. lol failmemer /o\

[shadowkitty.livejournal.com]

ftp://lolmeme.sock-wha.com there's not a lot in it. Except for comics >:)

[fordandfitzroy.livejournal.com]

I did notice that and lol'd and lol'd.

Uh, what am I meant to be noticing?

[shadowkitty.livejournal.com]

When they changed it from the squid to some kind of Dr Manhattan bomb, they made the name of the bomb S.Q.U.I.D.

[buzzylittleb.livejournal.com]

Why no squid? I liked the squid.

(uh, dad held up a picture of Moore to test my recognition skills, I think I might have blathered a little much)

[shadowkitty.livejournal.com]

I think they thought it was silly. They missed the point pretty consistently like that :(

[waywardgaze.livejournal.com]

Squid! Awwww...that's good fanservice.

We saw it again this weekend too. I've avoided posting on said fact because all I post anymore is Watchmen squee and I think the majority of my friends are notsomuch interested in the endless stream of Nite Owl/Rorschach OTP that's been running through my head.

Along with deep meaningful stuff, of course. Like...um... Hmmm.

Anyway, much better the second time through, without mentally flipping through the comic to compare every frame. It stands up much better as just its own movie.

Icon!

Yeah, I think like the comic you do have to see it more than once to get everything.

[waywardgaze.livejournal.com]

Icon is free to good home :)

Man, I have to put the Bad News Bears series on the Netflix list...

[straussmonster.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that I do actually get this, even though I have no intention of seeing the movie.

[shadowkitty.livejournal.com]

You're very quick at picking up comic related things from us. You poor thing :(

[straussmonster.livejournal.com]

*boingy boingy* :(

No, I read most of Watchmen really quickly one time because a friend insisted it was the Best. Comic. Drawn. Thing. Ever!

But he's also a douche who hasn't called me in, oh, a year and a half. So.
