03.09.09 WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN TITLES? YOU.
After the jump I’ve got the title sequence for Watchmen, which is a great example of why I enjoyed the movie as a whole.
- Solid choice of music. This is probably the easiest part of movie-making (provided you can afford the rights), but it’s still nice to see someone do it right.
- Amazing visuals. And not amazing in a “we tried to make this look like a drawing” sense like in, say, Sin City, but actual great photography and camera movement.
- The whole dystopian quasi-reality thing has never been done this well. If the Kennedy assassination recreation at the 2:35 mark doesn’t make you spurt your shorts a little… well, you’re probably a much more well-adjusted adult than I am. Congratulations on that, Professor Coolguy von Iwearpantstowork. (It looks a little cooler on the big screen, where you can see the actual brain particles. What? Why are you looking at me like that?)
- The element of absurdity. Having not read the comic yet, I sort of enjoyed the fact that they didn’t even attempt to explain a lot of stuff. “Hey, uh, how come that girl can beat up 10 gun-wielding assassins at the same time?” “Because, hippie. Hey, wanna watch me cap this pregnant chick?”
In any case, enjoy.
UPDATE: Removed at the request of faggity lawyer types. Ooh, sorry for giving you free advertising, your highness.

Yar movie be impressive.

Wow, Lince has gone from suck to blow!
Uhhh, I’m working from home today and flipping through channels, Apparently the dudes from Watchmen will be on Rachel Ray this week. Delish Yum-o!
*shoots self*
I haven’t seen it yet. Poopers.
Banner Pic: No joke here just noticed that there was a Batman pic behind original Night Owl shot. Which is fitting seeing that Night Owl represents one of the sides of Batman(Ingenuity, brilliance, trust fund)Rorschach being the other side(Attitude, methods)
Aw shit…got to serious there…must..tell joke…um…
Manhattan=Omnipotent
Drieberg=Impotent
Veidt=Important
Big Figure=Imp
Rorschach=Empty
Funny joke. Everyone laugh.
I will pay Jeffrey Dean Morgan in sex and money if he caps Rachel Ray on the air. (prays)
Also, did you all notice the Gotham City Times to the left on the wall in this shot? God I love this movie. And apparently so did ever fucking geek in this town. 6 sold out midnight shows for a 3 hour long R rated flick. Booya.
Bob Dylan is annoying as fuck btw.
Open letter to Hollywood re: Ozymandias v. Night Owl and Rorschach
Dear Asshat Moviemakers,
This is how you film a fucking fight scene.
Fuck you.
here here Jokerswild
here fucking here
is 6waysfromsunday a fat guy with a beard by any chance?
I can’t wait to watch this on DVD by myself after the baby goes to bed and I’ve heard every detail about the movie previously.
Sorry DeFrank…skinny black guy with a goatee…NOT Harry Knowles…thank god….I can actually wipe my own ass.
And here I thought we could talk about something else now that this thing is finally in theaters. Please tell me I’m not going to have to sit through equal amounts of build-up and bullshit before the DVD release.
This looks good, let’s see if I can find an illegal download somewhere…
BTW…worst…Nixon…ever. What Richard M. Dixon and Rich Little are dead? Frank Langella and Anthony Hopkins too good for this?
Harry Knowles wipes his ass like you or I would dry our taint.
With one arm behind his back and one in front, each holding the end of a bath towel.
What are you, Donald Duck?
DeFrank and 6ways share a taint?
I bet Fox would be interested in turning that into a rom-com.
Who are all these people? Where am I?
What the hell happened here!?!?
Sorry for leaving this post up for so long. My software apparently didn’t update for the time change. New up.
@Luchador- EXACTLY.
+1 to me for the accurate description.
New up.
