I saw the preview of that and nearly puked. What an insult to the original. I'm sure it'll suck worse than the remake of the hills have eyes -------------------- |

QUOTE (chook @ Mar 2 2009, 07:38 PM) did you have a preview or something? Yep yep....screening in Houston.... OK, so....it was good, but REALLY hardcore rigid fans of the comic will be annoyed with the ending and a bit of a change in plot. But, for the most part, he followed a lotof the comic almost panel for panel. I give it two thumbs up.....especially for the full frontal Dr Manhattan and sex scene. |

I saw Watchmen yesterday... for all the hype I honestly didn't care for it that much. The character development moved at a snails pace, the flashback storytelling got old pretty quick, as did the apparent need to show the blue dude's junk for the entire movie. The 300-style action was pretty good, whenever it occurred (which surprisingly wasn't all that often). The plot was decent, although a fairly typical superhero movie type plot, which to me was a bit surprising considering how "artsy" this film is supposed to be. The plus side though, I will say again the action was pretty good. Definitely surpasses 300 in gore/shock factor.

Definitely surpasses 300 in gore/shock factor. honestly the public reaction that the blue dude's junk is receiving is exactly why the director left it in the movie.....the reason it's in the novel isn't for shock factor but to demonstrate that dr. manhattan has no care for societal insecurities...he doesn't give a shit what people think of him being naked...to him the human body is pointless i think it's actually kind of funny that people are upset (mainly guys)....the point that's made in the novel is reflected so perfectly in our world and besides...no one gets upset when tits start flying around the screen or some dude is destroying some sluts pussy in what hollywood calls a sex scene (more like softcore)...BUT GOD FORBID YOU SEE A DUDE'S PENIS does your own penis disturb you? (oh shit....i used the word penis.....TABOO) we all shit, piss, and fuck just like everyone else p.s.....and don't argue that this opens the door for more male nudity in movies because it wont.......this movie had nudity in it for a reason, a purpose....not just to show off another guy's dick oh yeah and when i saw the movie i thought it was pretty damn funny that every teenage dude in the theater got REALLY uncomfortable when those scenes came about -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

Oh good Lord here we go... I briefly mention the blue dick and someone goes apeshit about it. By the way, it was a very minor thing for me (I did mention much larger issues that I had w/the movie, you might check those out too). I just thought it was stupid. But since you got so defensive about it, I'll bite:

Seems a little inconsistent to me. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) i think it's actually kind of funny that people are upset (mainly guys).... On what basis do you claim "mainly guys" are upset? Everyone I went with (three girls and four guys) thought it was stupid and unnecessary. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) the point that's made in the novel is reflected so perfectly in our world What point would that be? That one dude in the story has no inhibitions? That point is silly to try to make. There will always be a line to cross no matter what group of people you're talking about. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) and besides...no one gets upset when tits start flying around the screen or some dude is destroying some sluts pussy in what hollywood calls a sex scene (more like softcore)...BUT GOD FORBID YOU SEE A DUDE'S PENIS I don't see pussy in big hollywood flicks too often. Pretty silly comparison to make IMHO. Showing tits != showing penis. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) does your own penis disturb you? No, and neither did the blue penis. I just thought it was stupid and unnecessary. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) (oh shit....i used the word penis.....TABOO) I thought 'penis' was the PC term... dick, cock, etc are the taboo words right? Pretty sure you can say penis on TV, but not dick or cock. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) we all shit, piss, and fuck just like everyone else Yeah and how often do you see people shitting and pissing in movies in great detail? QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) p.s.....and don't argue that this opens the door for more male nudity in movies because it wont.......this movie had nudity in it for a reason, a purpose....not just to show off another guy's dick I wasn't going to argue that. Though as you said above, it sounds like controversy is why the director put it in. Probably the same reason the Forgetting Sarah Marshall director felt it was necessary in his movie too. QUOTE (pysex @ Mar 9 2009, 06:08 PM) oh yeah and when i saw the movie i thought it was pretty damn funny that every teenage dude in the theater got REALLY uncomfortable when those scenes came about Heheh yeah, real funny that you were the most comfortable guy watching the dick... |

I didn't like seeing it either. Why? Because I'm a straight guy. That's the same reason I like seeing chick nudity in movies...I'm a straight guy. Alex that analogy is dumb and wrong
