Video Blogs!

That was boring as s**t.

Big Figure was already shown in the previous video. As for the fire stunt, big deal; there's countless videos on youtube of some dude setting himself on fire in his back yard.

It's better than nothing.

I think that guy (the infamous guy-with-glasses-who-might-be-Rorschach) is Doug Chapman, the stunt guy. Compare this pic to the closeup of Doug talking halfway through the new blog. That's the main thing I got out of this video blog, which was admittedly substantially less interesting than the previous two.

I can see where you would pick up the resemblance, but both the hairline and the hair color itself don't seem to match Chapman.

He appears top be a guy who wears sunglasses as well, but there wouldn't really be any reason to wear them indoors. My guess is that the guy in the top photo is JEH, and that he's wearing his glasses between takes.

I like the shot of the Owlship descending over the prison.

Maybe. But the eyes, the hollow cheeks, and his facial shape generally seem pretty Chapmany to me. And the hair does look kinda different (I thought about that myself), but it's subtle enough that it might still be the same guy. I guess the only way we'll find out for sure is when we see an official pic of JEH as Walter for comparison.

Those are the features I noticed, too - the facial structure seems to fit, but it just doesn't make sense with the glasses and hair color; to me, anyway.

I agree.

Can't wait for the new one tomorrow.

Amazing.

That footage of Rorschach walking... fantastic!

 

[Rocker22]

Great stuff!!!

 

[CaptainAmerica]

It was definitely better than the last one.

 

[Bubastis]

Yeah, seeing rorschach walk was cool I guess, but it did not do anything for me.
The art of watchmen was decidedly nothing spectacular, it looks like a standard comic book. So why should we be in awe and fascination when we are given the (for the 50th time) regurgitated news that the film looks just like the comic books? This is the Third video diary dedicated entirely to that face. Can't we get some news on ANYTHING else?

Video #1: "behind-the-scenes shots of the sets prove that we have recreated the 'look' of the book"
OK.
Video #2: "behind-the-scenes Pictures of the costumes and off-set shots of extras prove that we have re-created the 'look' of the book"
Yep, you sure did.
Video #3: "we lit a guy on fire. cool, huh?"
You lit a guy on fire. Would you like a cookie and a gold star?
Video #4: "Interviews with Dave Gibbons and behind-the-scenes shots of extras onset both promise that the film will look just like the books."
So how many of these are left?

That was awesome. Much better than last month's. It was neat to hear what Dave Gibbons thought of everything, and all of the positive things he had to say make me even more excited for the film.

Man some of you are just a pack of pathetic whiners. I swear, I hate comic book fans.

"This isn't do anything for me", it's a frikkin' behind the scenes look, not the movie. What do you want it to do for you exactly? Haha, ridiculous.

 

[Lobster Charlie]

Eh, they could interview one of the actors or something. There are a ton of them in this film, ya know. Or we could get a peek at the Owl Ship. Or the Mars set. Or maybe we could see Karnak. I dunno, something with a little "meat." I wasn't totally disappointed with this blog, but it did just feel like seeing the same stuff they've already released in the photos.

 

[Watson]

But we are still a long long time away frome the release of this movie. Last summer, even with the spy reports we weren't getting all that much official info or press releases on TDK. These video blogs are a lot, and I think the closer to the movie we get the more info they'll release to us.

 

[The Guard]

They seem to be waiting for Comicon to unveil anything major. But I'm thrilled with what we've seen so far. The attention to detail, even details that aren't in the book but make perfect sense in context, is outstanding.

Ugh, some people just wont be happy until Doctor Manhattan literally phases out of their computer screen, and d***-slaps them across the face.

The movie still has a long way to go until it comes out. We still have 8 more of these videos to go. They're not gonna blow their load and give us all the good stuff right now. The trailer isn't even out yet.

I have a feeling eventually we'll get one for each main character, with the actor talking about the role. We'll probably get an FX one once some of it's actually done.

Did anyone else manage to catch Dan and Laurie in the diner at 1:09?

They probably want to save a little info. They probably don't want to spoil too much.
