I lovelovelove all of the little details. All of the copies of Under The hood, The clock being minutes away from midnight. The same pictures of Sally in The Comedian and Hollis' apartment.

It seems now that the naysayers are eating their words. This looks to be more faithful than sin city.

visually it looks very faithful. but as we all know, visuals are the easy and (argubly) less important part of this particular book.

True, but at least it's encouraging.

Sin City is very stylized, in a way that is uber-faithful to the comic. Watchmen, one might argue, is less stylized in so far as it is not way over-the-top like Frank Miller's work.

The "visuals" themselves, however, shouldn't be confused with the visual "style" of the source comics. The Gunga Diner of the comic, for example, doesn't really resemble that of the movie. To do away altogether with this visual element of the comic in the screen adaptation, however, would be folly (for example: if Rorschach saw Dan and Laurie leaving an Arby's, it might not work so well). In my opinion, this goes for all the visual elements of the comic, including the bagillions of so-called "easter eggs". Basically, while the visual elements of the comic do not need to be rendered in the same style on film, they must be in place, nonetheless. At least, this seems to be the approach the filmmakers are taking.

Arguably. . However, It would tend to point to an overall knowledge of the importance of those elements. And if one can see the importance of those elements, one can likely see the importance of the more obvious themes and elements that, as we know, have existed in every draft of the script since Sam Hamm's.

The importance of the visuals we've seen is that Snyder and his crew have made an obvious attempt to remain, if nothing else, thematically faithful, and to keep the relevance of various elements of the graphic novel intact.

It kinda looks like the Nite Owl I costume has the "ears" thing going. A small change, but a nice touch methinks. Also, I'm digging his pants (or lack thereof).

Scratch that, what I was seeing was a picture of Nite Owl II, I think.

Two days left before the new video blog. Is anybody still interested or are all of you drooling after the Iron Man movie and Dark Knight trailer?

 

[StorminNorman]

I'm waiting patiently. Heres hoping for Dr. Manhattan.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Yeah, it's time we see the blue meanie.

 

[CaptainGenerica]

I'm hoping for some effects shots (Doc, Rorschach's mask) as well, though it might be too early for that.

 

[Gotham]

Today's the day. Wonder which site will debut it.

 

[Sandman138]

Wow. Sally looks like betty paige.

She really does. It's so perfect.

 

[CaptainGenerica]

Today's the day. Wonder which site will debut it.

I thought these things were coming out on the 6th of each month.

 

[Gotham]

I thought these things were coming out on the 6th of each month.

Aw, you're right. My bad.

 

[arman200]

I'm looking forward to the new one. Hope it's not more sets(as much as I love seeing them), I want to see more of the characters, maybe archie, hopefully manhatttan, but I'm not picky.

 

[Compi716]

Anybody know where the blog is going to show up?

 

[arman200]

Wouldn't it show up on the official website? I mean, the blog said that it would appear on various websites throughout the year, but isn't that in addition to the official one?

 

[Katsuro]

Hmm, Watchmencomicmovie.com appears to be down, and 2am is the time the last video blog appeared on SHH!. Curious...

 

[Compi716]

No new blog on Watchmencomicmovie.com, OR the official site.

 

[Rocker22]

Where is it hiding?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Joblo!!! http://www.joblo.com/video/player.php?video=Watchmen_480

 

[Rocker22]

Good find, thank you.

 

[Shifty]

Footage of the riots and I think there was Big Figure in the prison.

Oscar nomination locked up for Costume Design.

 

[Rust]

I've only seen 1/4 of the clip and I can already say that this movie will own every damn single comicbook movie out there..

At least that's what I'd like to think.

But seriously, the tone and the arrogant selfconfidence in its self-irony is stimulating. The look... The attitude... Oy vey...
This movie's gonna have so much edge!

 

[Gotham]

Great blog. I'm very happy with the look of the film so far. (Did anyone catch Veidt walking around in his purple suit? Love it. ).
