Kill yourself.
I second that.
Kill yourself.
The reason I feel a movie is better for the Watchmen is because the type of story Moore was telling was more nuanced.. nuance doesn't work well in comics.. big stories with a lot of action work better for comics. Even the letters work better in a DVD format than in comics.. you could have a actor reading the dialogue in the letters while the letter is dispalyed..
The bottom line is that movies are just a more powerful medium with more versatility. when you add advanced visual effects and blu ray DVDs there is no contest. The ONLY thing missing is the length of the story.. will Snyder be able to tell the story in the time alotted? But even if he can't the time will come shortly when we there will be a HBO special with 12 parts and the effects will be cheap enough that they can pull it off. Or mayeb the whole thing is a CG animated feature.
The point is though that if you did make a film version it would be better than the comic.. and this would make Moore irrate..
Agreed.
I'll politely convince myself your two posts were well-crafted jokes in which you pretend you don't understand ANYTHING of any of the arts you mentioned.
That you pretend you ignore all the elementary facts about comics and movies.
You surely understand it better than this downright BS, now don't you, Van Damme? Tell me you do, please, please!
i dont. its just an adaption. theres no such thing imo of a movie being better than its source it was based upon unless the source such as the comic itself sucked, for example being poorly written, poorly drawn etc. the movie can only be in equal terms of the comic. they are 2 different mediums.
100% agree, even though me and alan aren't close, I think that's about spot onI think Moore's hate is a great sign actually. I think it would piss Moore off way more if Snyder gets it right than if he gets it wrong... After all.. Moore liked to think he was making something that couldn't be pulled off with the film medium. But I truly believe watchmen will be far better in DVD form than in comic form.
Of course, Moore didn't think far ahead enough to realize we could have blu ray DVD's and personal computers that work the way they do and CGI effects. I think the film medium is even better for the kind of story he is telling than comics as well.
I do, but I doubt he ever hangs out here in kansasBasically all you guys who support Snydemen are not fans of the comic. That is FACT. Not OPINION. If you like the direction the movie is taking, get off this board and go and hang out with Snyder.
Puh-LENTYCan I ask the airheads, what they are looking forward to in this movie when the director says that Moore TORTURES us with so much content and the director feels the need to put more ACTION.
p.s. I doubt Watchmen won the Hugo Award based on its action. Maybe juuuuuuuuust maybe it won the award and praise because of its bold and very torturing content.
Could you show me the context of that Snyder quote, 8blades?
Aw snap!Whatever.. get back to me when you have an actual argument..
The funny thing is, when an adaptation of any good source material turns out to be just as good or better, opinions are split by subjectivity and many begin to argue one’s value over the other.i dont. its just an adaption. theres no such thing imo of a movie being better than its source it was based upon unless the source such as the comic itself sucked, for example being poorly written, poorly drawn etc. the movie can only be in equal terms of the comic. they are 2 different mediums.
Looks like he got probationary. Maybe he'll think before he actually posts next time.
The error in this logic is that Watchmen didn't really work that well in comic form.. at least as well as it could in movie form.
yeah, that's what democrats are forMaybe next time he'll think before he calls us all morons for thinking differently than him.
yeah, that's what democrats are for
And both have very big pockets.Like my friend tells me, Democrats have heart, but Republicans have brains.
