films you're looking forward to seeing

Veidt was still able to catch bullets with his bare hands and a bar full of thugs wouldn't mess with Rorschach. They begged him to leave people alone.

Why are you arguing? That movie looks like trash made for hormonal 14 y/o, just like 300...

Ktothe I gotta disagree with you on this. Yes all the heroes in the book can still kick ass and take down thugs, even while past their prime, but that is not the point of the book. The primary point of Watchmen is that despite their training and powers and good intentions, superheroes are beset with personal problems and are ultimately struggling pointlessly against an impending doom, aka war/armageddon which in the book is symbolized by the Black Freighter.

Watchmen was never meant to prove that regular humans can achieve impressive heights, it says that even though they DID become physically, technologically, and mentally superior, such power will do no good for themselves and the humanity they want to protect. The Comedian was the only person who understood this, followed by Jon, followed by Veidt at the end of the book.

No hate but you might want to go through Watchmen again. To say that Moore's point was to show how badass humans can be without "real" powers is like saying Batman is meant to show that having your parents killed in front of you makes you awesome. It is a part of the story, but it is definitely not the purpose of the story.

Again, I never said it was THE point, or what Moore set out to show. I said Moore made it glaringly obvious that they weren't average Joes. I even said that in the end they still suffer from the human condition and that the only thing that set them apart was they were extremely driven individuals.

Its like you're actively choosing to ignore what I say.

No hate but you might want to go through what I typed again.

....I want to see this so bad.

I wonder if the swashbuckling pirate stories are infused into the film?

It could work , or could have, as an animated series the public is really into, rather than a comic. It would match the medium. Kind of like the animated segments of Kill Bill.

[HumanError]

My eagerness to see The Watchmen is tamped down somewhat by Zack Snyder being involved. Though I do admit the trailer kills. I wish Alan Moore would get his head out of his ass, the Kabbala, and kiddie porn, and get in touch with his anarchic side once again.

At one time David Fincher was planning to do Frank Miller's "Hard Boiled"? That's dead. That's one of the biggest problems with Hollywood: A director will spend years planning, pitching, re-writing, scheming, and at some point the joy just gets stomped out of you.

Step Brother looks crazy funny... can't wait

[ExileOnMainSt]

Seen Step Brother on the weekend and fuck me was it stupid. To classify it correctly, I'd compare it to Semi Pro in the type of rushed, only funny cause Will Ferrell is in it movie.

Fucking should have seen X-files instead

[Leeacto]

anyone else impressed by the palace on Mars in Watchmen trailer? Also, I think rorschach looks badass.

I just read the book for the first time last month when I was on a graphic novel spree.

Brad Pitt is officially a 'Bastard'

Pegg, Kinski, Krumholtz in talks to join film

By MICHAEL FLEMING, TATIANA SIEGEL, TATIANA SIEGEL

Brad Pitt has closed his deal to star in "Inglorious Bastards," the WWII drama that Quentin Tarantino will direct for the Weinstein Co. and Universal.

Additionally, Nastassja Kinski is in early talks to play one of the sole female roles in the film. Casting the German-born actress jibes with Tarantino's habit of resuscitating dormant careers. Kinski, who has stayed away from mainstream American films for nearly a decade, would play a German movie queen.

Much of the pic's dialogue is in French or German, and subtitles will be used, though Pitt will speak English in his role as a Tennessee hillbilly who assembles a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to take on the Nazis.

Simon Pegg, David Krumholtz and B.J. Novak are also in talks to join the project. Pegg would play a British lieutenant, while Krumholtz and Novak would play Pitt's underlings.

Pic begins production Oct. 13 in Germany. Tarantino, who wrote the script, is aiming to complete the film and have it ready for next year's Cannes Film Festival. Lawrence Bender is producing, with Erica Steinberg and Harvey and Bob Weinstein as executive producers. Pilar Savone is associate producer.

Deal puts Pitt back in business with Universal; apparently he and the studio have patched things up following his last-minute exit from "State of Play" late last year.

Under the terms of Tarantino's deal, he receives 20% of first-dollar grosses. That percentage can be reduced if a first-dollar gross star like Pitt joins the cast, though it's unclear if Tarantino is ceding any of his points to the star.

Bender said casting should be complete in about a week or two. Eli Roth will play Sgt. Donnie Donowitz, and Tarantino is locking in the other actors to play the soldiers who make up the Bastards team. Tarantino regular Tim Roth had been in contention to join the cast but couldn't work out the scheduling because of his upcoming TV series "Lie to Me."

While Pitt will be working for the first time with Tarantino as director, he does have on his resume a small but memorable turn as a stoner in the Tony Scott-directed "True Romance," a script that Tarantino wrote between "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction."

I'm ridiculously excited to see Charles Burns' work animated. Black Hole is simply incredible. One of the few comic works I'd legitimately almost go as far as to call genius.

[strumpet]

i gotta third Milk. even tho GVS has some shitty ass movies, milk looks like it actually has actors who express emotions other than apathy or depression. also if im lucky my mom'll hook me up with tickets to the castro premiere.
