Such a boring movie. I would say that a 20minute lesbian scene may have been able to help, but Akerman couldn't act that well. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 09:38
The only interest I took in it was in comparing it to the book, which I had just reread. - TWuG Aug 23, 09:38 6
- I think this was where I was. Enjoyed it as an exercise, but that's about it. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 23, 09:40
- the movie managed to make boobs boring. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:39 4
  - Actual quote from me to kelly "Does the guy have bigger breasts than Akerman?" -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 09:40 3
    - she is not really all that hot in the first place. - groiny Aug 23, 09:49 2
      - Sin City! -- nm - Shaun Aug 23, 09:58 1
        
        yeah, but maybe in color this time. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:59
The trailers didn't even interest me enough to ever see it. nm - Jim Aug 23, 09:37
I can't disagree that it was largely boring, but nevertheless I found it interesting enough to enjoy. - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:36
I agree completely. I turned it off since I didn't make the mistake of watching it in the theater. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 09:36

Your loss. -- nm - David Aug 23, 09:35 19
- I even watched it again on video, just in case I was wrong. - groiny Aug 23, 09:37 18
  - You make me sad. -- nm - David Aug 23, 09:38 17
    - I have no idea what was in the movie that made you enjoy it. - groiny Aug 23, 09:40 9
      - I also enjoyed the Comedian, but he was in it so little. I did enjoy watching Rorshach, but I did not like the character - amoxy Aug 23, 09:42 8
        
        how can a movie about heroes be depressing???? - groiny Aug 23, 09:48 7
        
        It's supposed to be. Moore examines the reality of a vigilante vs. the media heroicized myth. -- nm - David Aug 23, 09:53 6
        
        yeah, but I did not care about any of that. - groiny Aug 23, 09:54 5
        
        That's my point. You checked out on the core concept. Obviously, you were going to hate it. -- nm - David Aug 23, 10:00 4
        
        how can you get invested in characters that you don't care about? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 10:04 3
        
        I have this problem a lot. With Watchmen, I already loved the characters from the book so that factors in. -- nm - David Aug 23, 10:06 2
        
        Those of us who did not read the book were bored and lost and ultimately gave up - amoxy Aug 23, 10:10 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:14
    - Looking at this thread, only you and Spawn are defending the movie - amoxy Aug 23, 09:40 6
      - It is an extraordinary deconstruction of the superhero myth and a best case scenario adaptation... - David Aug 23, 09:41 5
        
        I think it was the best they could have done faithfully to the book -- that said, it was still boring as hell. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 09:46
        
        Sadly, "best case adaptation" translated to boring piece of crap on a cracker. - TWuG Aug 23, 09:44
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:42 2

        yeah, it does not bode well for the future. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:48
Agreed -- nm - amoxy Aug 23, 09:35
You sit at the side of DLC. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:35 8
- you just like big blue dicks. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:36 7
  - Oh, the comment is not just for Watchmen. Your movie choices for a while have been suspect. -- nm - Spawn Aug 23, 09:37 3
    - I see so few movies these days, that I really get pissed when I watch a stinker. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 23, 09:38 2
      - I see so few movies these days because I'm *afraid* of sitting through a stinker. - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:39 1
        
        I'd hate for you to have to sit through a Bery-rated B+ movie. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 23, 09:41
  - You can take out big blue -- nm - amoxy Aug 23, 09:37 2
    - That's what she said -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 09:38
    - that is why he never watched avatar. - groiny Aug 23, 09:37
