Rofl, this made me laugh for a second because like ten minutes ago I went to Wikipedia to see what Watchmen was about and this paragraph is almost like word for word what Wikpedia says.
Really? I haven't read Watchmen's Wikipedia page in a couple of years.

No mention of the live action movie trilogy?

Avatar is a lot like Naruto except...it doesn't suck.
Wait it's nothing like Naruto.

Golgo 13: The Professional
Leon: The Professional.
Those are great movies.

When it's good, it's good. When it's bad, it's terrifying.
When it's bad it's hilarious.

Actually you don't. It's better with Comic Book Reader, but they can open with WinRAR too (I think).
You can, but CBR simplifies it, and makes it a wholly more pleasant reading experience.

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.
It really wasn't that high of a fall. TwoFace got knocked out and they carted him off to Arkham. Gordon is all about doing that secret stuff. The funeral was for the martyr Harvey Dent. TwoFace lives.If this were the rationalization, then why did Batman have to take the blame for Harvey's actions? Why wouldn't they just blame it on Two Face? Even if Two Face was still alive, he'd just tell everyone the truth. His ego wouldn't allow Batman to take the credit for his actions. What happened when the cops arrived and chased Batman away? Did Gordon say "take Two Face to Arkham?" No. He would have said "Harvey Dent is was killed by Batman, along with a few other people."As for Two Face falling from the height. People have been using the fact that Maroni living from his fall to rationalize Harvey being alive too. Maroni landed on his feet. He was upright during his fall, so all the damage from the fall was in his ankles. Two Face on the other hand was pushed off of the building, not upright at all. He's not an acrobat either, he wouldn't be able to position himself properly in that little time. We never got to see how he landed, but from the way he was pushed, it's best to assume his back, which could be broken, along with his neck.
Harvey Dent/Two Face, is dead. If he were alive, Batman taking the blame would be pointless. What could they do with Two Face if he were alive? Take him to Arkham? Tell him to be quiet? Put him in a "soundproof cell" as someone mentioned earlier? That's laughable. He'd be screaming his lungs out telling everyone the truth, cheapening Batman taking the blame. Logically, it doesn't work. This may be a comic book movie underneath it all, but it's the most cinematic, non-comic book movie of all. Had it been any other movie at all, there wouldn't be any doubt to his death at all. Everything had been wrapped up nice and tight. Harvey Dent died a hero to the citizens of Gotham, and unknowingly, lived (and then abruptly died) the villain.
That's actually two separate posts by myself, but it works the same.
Edit: And yes, he landed on his back.

It makes V For Vendetta look as mediocre as Naruto.

I will be honest in that I have not read the book but was still impressed with the trailer
I downloaded the book and it's all in .cbr format; does anyone know what this is
in before 'google fgt'
You will need to download a program called Comic Book Reader.
Of course, nothing beats comic books on paper.

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.
-
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.

Goddamn't. I was supposed to go see them, but work had my scheduled there last minute. My friend won tickets and everything.

Guess you never watch Tech TV nor the original G4, huh?
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.
-
Yeah, now they can replay all the great shows, right as G4 caused them to self destruct on themselves.
-
That's a good idea. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

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?

I emailed him once because I found his name in an issue of The Batman Strikes, and he thought it was cool.

I'm posting in place of Lizz here to say Session 9.

The latest Penny-Arcade comic is about Layton. Awesome stuff! Oh, and the game is sweet -- does it eventually pick up the difficulty? I'm on puzzle 20 or so right now...
You know, that was the first PA I read in about two years. It wasn't very funny.
"Fuck you!" as a punchline? Seriously?

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."
-
People still refer to Nintendo stuff as being "kiddy?" Honestly now.

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.

I came in here to tell why Larry and Injin are wrong...but aw hell.

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.
