Nah, I meant the regular GN just reprinted to have the film cover on it.

But thanks for that. That was cool I didn't know that was happening.

Snaaaaaaaake!!!!!!!

I think I'm going to open it. Damn you

I can't help myself now with the film so close. And to read the 48 page supplements will be nice. Everything recolored and such

The score is kind of so-so. It's cool to finally get a taste, but when the excitement dies down it will be hard not to notice how bland some of it really is. Manhattan's theme sounds like something out of Lethal Weapon. This was a job for someone like Clint Mansell, who can bring massive emotional weight to the film during the quiet moments, i.e., Manhattan on Mars.

I think the delivery of the dialogue is great.

I've really grown to love Crudop's voicework as Jon, it's cold but at the same time empathetic.

Goode's delivery of his lines, I think, are great. He sounds like a business man selling a deal. Some are worried that he will come off as your reguler "serial villian", but I think there will be much more substance to Goode's performance.

Everyone else is dead-on. Haley's reading of Rorscach's first journal entry are almost exactly how I imagined them in my head.

Haha. Finally someone shows some respect and calls me Snake.

Good for you Solidus. Just think of all the poor bastards who can't afford the absolute edition and have to buy the sorry ass "good enough" hardcover. They would kill you and drink your blood for that absolute edition--that alone makes it worth opening. To rub the triumph in their poor faces of squalor and misfortune. You think of those poor saps as you turn each beautiful page and be thankful you opened this Holy Grail of Watchmen hardcover editions. Good Bless you, sir.

You totally made me feel like Ricardo Montalban there.

Cheers to us--the OPENERS!

That should definitely tide you over till then. I've been hoping to reread it in the absolute format myself before the sixth. I'd join you, but I'm trying to finish a whole run of absolute Sandman--which is quite a task to say the least.

Let me know what you think of the absolute edition.

Oh I will. For sure.

Why the hell would you want that? That would be an insult to the comic. Especially to Moore.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Finally realised what the Dr. Manhattan score reminds me of. Kind of like Popol Vuh's score for Herzog's Fitzcarraldo.

 

[Katsuro]

How is that? Whenever a book has a major motion picture made about it, they reprint the book with a movie-inspired cover. I own a copy of Chuck Pahlaniuk's "Fight Club" with Brad Pitt and Edward Norton on the cover, and that's not "an insult to the book".

 

[CelticPredator]

It is if you're Alan Moore.

 

[CaptainGenerica]

Okay, everybody raise your hand if you're Alan Moore.


But seriously, the "Now a Major Motion Picture" tag on books, especially if the cover has been movie-fied, is a huge pet peeve of mine. I actually preferred to hunt down a used copy of I, Robot from some hole in the wall bookstore rather than put Will Smith's face on my bookshelf. It's not that it's necessarily insulting to the source material, especially if the movie was a pretty good adaptation, it's just that the book and the movie are two separate things. Watchmen the book does not star Jackie Earl Haley. Fight Club the book does not star Edward Norton. Also movie posters make ugly book covers, IMO.

People in marketing don't care about any of this! They think they're two of the same, it has something to do with the other, to get another buck they'll slap it on to the other one.

And they always do this if its an adaption anyway.
