I'm reading this right now and... wow. amazing piece of work. never really read a graphic novel this absorbing and well-crafted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like maus (obvious choice) and persepolis. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah maus is also killer. |
||||||||
|

alan moore is a baldy hippy twat. |
||||||||
|

|
|
this is a great comic. they're making a movie though. supposedly, it will be pg-13. pg-13 = crap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maus is amazing, yes. Not read the watchmen yet. I'd recommend the work of chris ware if you like "maus" though. |
||||||||

On a similar theme you should check out "The Filth" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I love a bit of filth. ...sorry guys. Books...?...sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah apparently the watchmen movie will be directed by arnovsky... pretty cool innit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the filth was awesome, but you should really read The Invisibles first. the best comic book since Watchmen imho and absolutely essential reading. get them all and read from start to finish. The Filth expands on some of the concepts of The Invisibles, but is a little shallower. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Just finished this. I liked it, but the ending was more "far out" than I liked. Gonna sometime |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is The Invisibles collected in a book? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Read From hell. In gods name, read From hell. Probably the deepest comic ever written. |
||||||||
|
|

Watchmen is ace, apparently the Comedian's smiley face logo badge influenced the acid house smiley. It's hard to prove though, because it had been around for years before that, but still... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it influenced Bomb the Bass' "Beat Dis" cover. |

I just picked up Ex Machina I will give you a review when I am done. |
||||||||

Will read this. I just read , from the writer of Ghost World. Pretty cool, in a Lynch-esque way. |
||||||||

Nemo. |

It's compiled in a few ones. And it's the best comic ever. Matrix is just a rip off of The Invisibles. A N A R C H Y |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok. I'm gonna see if I can get it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's also a guide book. Interesting to get into the details, but not neccesary. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That IS geeky, but a possible buy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I have it because I'm a HARDCORE fan! (see my mail adress?) |
||||||||

watchmen is like the aeroplane over the sea of comics. |

The cast is interesting. |

Just bought the new format release of the comic. Quite nice. Hope the movie is ok.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
been meaning to get this for ages, just heard about the new movie which reminded me about it. might buy Watchmen now, but i'm a little cautious, reading something massively hyped as the 'best comic ever', is it really that good? I've never really bothered with comics before... |
||||||||

It's not just an excellent comic, it's an excellent book, incredibly layered with some surprisingly deep psychological studies. Reread it for the third time about a month ago and I don't think it'll ever be possible to do it justice in a single film. Especially with the director of 300 at the helm. |

who will be watching Watchmen then? I read the comic but thought it was a little overrated, I actually think the film could be an improvement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't read the comic, will be watching it tonight. Might get into the comic after watching |

Tomorrow night, midnight showing with the missus. I hear the gore and action has been ramped up and that Ozymandias is poorly done. Hopefully it'll just be good enough to not discourage people from reading the comic. |
||||||||
|
|

I'm seeing it very soon. Don't have my hopes up, but I'm expecting an entertaining and somewhat faithful rendition of the comic. Apparently they're taking some liberties with the story, which doesn't sound like a good idea. The book is one of my all time favourites, and I just read it a few weeks ago and also wrote a short essay on it. I kinda wish they'd make a movie based on The Invisibles next, but I also kinda wish they didn't... |

i like the guy in blue |

goddamn, too much blue ding dong in one movie |
||||||||

more dicks than boobs. |

I just saw it. They practically nailed it. Some people are going to hate it because its a big budget movie. I don't think they could have done the book better in any way unless they added a couple of the more subtle details that were in the comic. |
||||||||
|

Saw it last night. Havn't read the comic. Thought it was quite average. I don't think they quite knew what to do with the material..... it was half-serious, half-feather-weight, or maybe that's what the comic is like? And where did that cat/lynx come from? And shouldn't it be a massive blue all-powerful cat/lynx now?!?!?!? |
||||||||
|

|
|
if manhatten turned out so awesome in that atomic accident. why didn't everyone else try it out? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Exactly! |

the cat/lynx thing was something to do with his genetic experiments i think. I just came back from seeing it, my friends loved it and want to read the comic, personally having read the comic I think it was good but not great. Kudo's for getting so much of the comic into the film though, it was almost there and isn't the disaster it could have been. There were a few issues I had however, the only super powerful being was supposed to be Dr Manhattan, however we see some of the others punching through walls amongst other silly over the top action sequences. Adrian Veidt looks like a weakling, lord knows how he can leap so far and throw people twice his weight across a room. It needed to be more gritty and realistic, honestly this film was way too glossy looking, Mars and the thing Dr Manhattan creates is far too cg looking, is cg still not good enough to look real?! I think the director has an issue with over stylising his films, lots of slow motion into real time scenes which only serve remind you that your watching a movie rather than immersing you. Sex scene wasn't as bad as I expected, from what people had been saying I was expecting something much more explicit. Use of pop music was a bit distracting, some nice bits though. The actor playing Rorsarch was the most perfect thing about the film. And OMG, what the hell is going on with Nixon's nose?! This was laughable. |

Ozymandias was terrible, by rights a 14 year old girl should be able to beat him up |

Rorschach was awesome. |
