Watchmen 8-bit
TOK:
This is my favorite graphic novel, and basically what turned me on to reading them.
I have very mixed feelings on the movie. To go to such lengths to capture the look of the novel (there are places where you can pause the DVD and the scene matches up to a frame in the book), and then change up the ending was just beyond me.
I mean, they trusted the novel enough to make the movie mimic it near exactly, but then change up the actual story to frame up one of the key characters? Really stupid.

Hm. Didnt Zack Snyder direct that? And isnt the chick from Harold and Kumar in it? She is a cutie. :o

The budget was $130 million, and you forgot to include the foreign grosses. It made $185 million worldwide.

Sweet. Not the amazing success I hoped it would be, but I personally wouldn't turn down $55 million dollars.
