Watchmen film discussion (Spoilers!)

[DARKKNIGHT]

I thought that Rorschach killing the child murderer with the butcher knife made sense. You can really see him snap mentally. I always thought it was kind of strange in the book that he kind of calmly handcuffs the killer to the pipe and then sets the place on fire, especially when compared to how he acts around criminals after this event. The Rorschach after this is very brutal and violent with criminals, so it made seen that you see how this single event makes him "snap."

ALSO, something you will not ****ing believe what I saw. So the movie ends I walk out and I see a little kid no older than 7 walking down the stairs. WHAT THE ****!!!! Who in their right ****ing mind would bring a ****ing little kid to a movie like this. I said **** 50 times in the span of a minute talking about how ****ed up that is. The kids is going to be ****ed up for years

There were several children in the theatre when i saw it saturday in NY. Even a baby or two. We were sitting in front of two kids that couldn't have been much older than 7, with their moms. Thank god they were well behaved, but we were still LIVID that so many idiots weren't heeding the R RATING.

There was like some 6 year old at my showing too. :/

My God, are people that stupid? Maybe we deserve all this **** that is happening to America.

How can you say it's the best comic book movie ever, and than say some of the movie doesn't make sense in the same statement?

The cat and Rorschach's mask were talked about after we saw the film. No explanation and I'm talking about loopholes like that. I mean basically for guys like us this movie was a trailer to The Ultimate Edition that's gonna contain everything missing and then some.

 

[the watcher]

Care to explain why? Curious minds wish to know.

Don't bother... He says that about almost every movie. Sometimes I think he says it just to come off as dark and moody. You know like all those emo kids that complain how the world suck and how everything sucks all the time.

Huh? I hate it when people make America out to be some cradle of stupidity. There are stupid people everywhere in the world. We just notice more the stupid people in America more because that's where we live.

While Veidt's cat did sort of come out of nowhere, I wouldn't say that Rorschachs mask was a plot hole. Sure, the general audience probably didn't understand it's significance, but that hardly has any affect on the movie. It's like saying that it's a plot hole that we don't find out how Superman makes his suit or where the Joker gets his scars.

Actually, the very first scene with the original Nite Owl... is that Thomas Wayne, Martha Wayne and Alfred he's saving? And no Batman as a result? Ooh, meta...

 

[moonmaster]

A good chunk of people.

People only pay attention to Limbaugh because he's obnoxious and because the Republican Party is pretty much leaderless right now.

And 60% of America voted for Barack Obama.

Meanwhile, I heard that 78% of Puerto Ricans are totally Venom Melendez. Ew.

Eh, could be a coincidence.

That's pretty cool. I personally think that it is supposed to be a reference to Batman. Especially with the posters on the wall.

You know, for someone who complains about getting picked on as often as you do you sure seem to bring it on yourself as often as possible.

People in america listen to Rush Limbaugh....So yeah.

A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Todays rush limbaugh
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is for rent,
put him down as arrogant.
He deserves, little defense,
Riding out the days events.
The river

And what you say about his party
Is what he says about everything.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are shallow,
Maybe as his eyes are closed.

Todays tom Rush Limbaugh,
He gets high on himself,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.

Yes, his mind is for rent
To any God or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes are permanent,
But change is bad.

And what you say about his party
Is what he says about everyone.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.

The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies in flames.

Exit the warrior,
Todays rush limbaugh,
He gets high on himself,
And the energy you trade,
He gets by on the fiction of the party.

hee hee

Also some neat analysis of the new ending with screen writer David Hayter, actor Matthew Goode, and Dave Gibbons

neat quote

"But once Doctor Manhattan comes along, he's the most powerful insect in the world. There's no comparison. So, what Paul loved was that Adrian, by using Doctor Manhattan as his weapon, puts himself back on top."

In America, obnoxious people ignore YOU!

And yet you still pay attention to them. It's a complex and fascinating system.
