Poorly.

Calling it right now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As far as an adaptation of watchmen could go, the best we could have hoped for was Gilliam's interpretation: "Can't be done." And if you have to fucking hack apart this graphic novel, do it in a mini-series.

Watchmen was an abortion on screen. Almost fucking unwatchable. It looked like every other movie in the genre and was boring as fuck. I think you have to be brain dead to glean anything beyond "Yeah, rorschach was pretty bad ass a few times" from it.

Rubbish, and not even especially pretty rubbish.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Or maybe it could be that after having seen it, we reached a conclusion that hey, maybe Moore was right about this. Maybe Gilliam had the right idea, given the fact that this movie didn't work at all.

Wow. Agreeing with someone when they're right. What a novel thing. Get over yourself, Pang. A lot of us who didn't like it went to see it hoping it wouldn't suck (except LeHah, I'm guessing) and were disappointed to find that it did. If you like shitty films, good on you. Enjoy yourself. But don't get your panties twisted when someone points out a bad film is bad.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
