  1. I came in here to tell why Larry and Injin are wrong...but aw hell. http://www.superherohype.com/news/watchmennews.php?id=7508 Everything about this movie is just perfect. Edit: To clarify, I think it needs to be one movie, and as long as they want it. I believe people are just generally not as patient as they were decades ago and long for longer, more theatrical films again. And so far, I'm happy with all the choices Snyder has made. Edit #2: http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article/watchmen_trailer_to_comic_comparison/ Side by side comparrison of the book and film (trailer). It's pretty spot on. Thinking the movie is too dark is just silly. It's supposed to be bleak.
  2. Really? I haven't read Watchmen's Wikipedia page in a couple of years.
  3. No mention of the live action movie trilogy?
  4. Avatar is a lot like Naruto except...it doesn't suck. Wait it's nothing like Naruto.
  5. Golgo 13: The Professional Leon: The Professional. Those are great movies.
  6. When it's bad it's hilarious. OHxyZaZlaOs
  7. You can, but CBR simplifies it, and makes it a wholly more pleasant reading experience.
  8. Alright, for any of you doubting the death of Two Face, I'm just going to post what I posted at Something Awful. There are spoilers, but I think that's a given. That's actually two separate posts by myself, but it works the same. Edit: And yes, he landed on his back.
  9. It makes V For Vendetta look as mediocre as Naruto.
  10. You will need to download a program called Comic Book Reader. Of course, nothing beats comic books on paper.
  11. First of all, for those of you who haven't read or finished the book, READ IT. And read it slowly. There is a lot in the book. It is not your average superhero comic. It's hardly what you expect. Don't expect many action scenes either. Watchmen is a deconstruction of the superhero genre. In fact, the only person with superpowers at all is Dr. Manhattan (the blue man). There are many themes in Watchmen. If you're reading it and thinking "this book is alright," you're clearly not understanding the subtext. Watchmen is the only graphic novel to be on Time's 100 Greatest Novels of All Time list, and to win the Harvey Award. Zack Snyder is working hard to make this movie as close to the book as possible, he really understands the importance in this. Having this said, I can understand if you haven't read the book and weren't impressed with the trailer. The trailer was really only designed for the fans of the book. Joe Shmo's trailer will be out closer to the release date. I don't mean to come off as an intellectual snob here, but this isn't just some average movie sequel or chick sci-fi movie here. It's Watchmen. This is important. Read the book. And think hard about it. Edit: As for my opinion on the trailer? It blew me away. I'm heavily looking forward to this. It might be better than The Dark Knight, and I love that movie. The music? Ironically perfect. It fits the atmosphere nicely. I read somewhere that they wrote it with the 1939 Bat-Man in mind, even if it was for Batman & Robin.
  12. Hayter also wrote a terrible script for Watchmen that totally bastardized the book. For some reason, when I read Hayter though, I thought of Zack Snyder, who would be awesome to direct an MGS movie.
  13. Goddamn't. I was supposed to go see them, but work had my scheduled there last minute. My friend won tickets and everything.
  14. Nope. According to your question, he never watches TechTV, because that channel does not exist anymore. But when it did, Equinox did watch. Good times, really. G4 on the other hand is, was, has, will always be very shitty.
  15. Yeah, now they can replay all the great shows, right as G4 caused them to self destruct on themselves.
  16. That's a good idea. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
  17. Alright, so I'm trying to transcode a video (.ogm) for a project, but I need subtitles for the video. My current transcoding program (ffmpeg2theora-0.20) does not do this. Does anyone have any suggestions?
  18. I emailed him once because I found his name in an issue of The Batman Strikes, and he thought it was cool.
  19. I'm posting in place of Lizz here to say Session 9.
  20. You know, that was the first PA I read in about two years. It wasn't very funny. "Fuck you!" as a punchline? Seriously?
  21. http://ahorahollywood.com/component/option,com_seyret/task,videodirectlink/id,45/ Bask in it's glory.
  22. A man gets murdered roughly twenty minutes into the game. How is that kiddy? This whole notion of calling a game "kiddy" is immature in it self.. And I want it out of my thread. This thread is about a wonderful game that kids and adults alike can enjoy called "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" not "I need games to make me feel mature."
  23. People still refer to Nintendo stuff as being "kiddy?" Honestly now.
  24. Professor Layton is a brainteaser game for the DS. Developed by Level 5, it delivers a charming art style, voice acting, and full on cutscenes. Oh, and there are these brainteasers too. Incredibly charming. The game's real simple in concept. Go to point A, talk to man, do puzzle. But the puzzle's are real difficult. The puzzles were written by famed Professor Akira Tago, who's written a few puzzle books himself. It's the first in a trilogy to come, but if you find yourself finished with the game and itching for the sequel, there will be a new puzzle up for download every week. If you're on the fence for this title, you can play a demo on the game's site. http://professorlaytonds.com/
