Watchmen must-haves

[Gilpesh]

The Watchmen must have.... a twelve part mini-series on the cable networks. There is no way this could be adapted into a movie without pissing on yet another of Alan Moore's great works.

The reason it's a "big goofy alien" is to shock the world into cooperation with a completely shocking and unheard of event that they would have no way of defending themselves against. There's absoultely no reason to change it. Besides, it doesn't look goofy. It looks pretty creepy.

It was baisically an elder god.

 

[The Question]

Not getting the reference. Sorry.

 

[Sandman138]

Lovecraft, I think that's where they got their inspiration from anyway.

 

[The Question]

Ah. I'm fairly certain Moore got the idea from an old episode of The Outer Limits.

 

[Sandman138]

I meant in the creatures design.

 

[The Question]

Oh. I see. Cool.

What is this Beatles reference everyone's talking about?

What is this Beatles reference everyone's talking about?

in Draft 3 of the Hayter script, after Nightowl kills Veidt, he goes to the computer panel where Veidt sent out his warnings to the world powers. He sends a message saying:

"And in the end.....the love you take...Is equal to the love you make."

Meh, too corny for me.
