WATCHMEN: BEHOLD

[karaszero]

LOL! I said the same thing ...you get all that from fish and chips?

[Catch22]

I wouldn't be surprised...We have fish and grits in the South, and women here have that wiggle, jiggle, shake too!

I've been to Ga many times and had me some peach cobbler!

Oh well, maybe we'll get a Tales of the Black Freighter series on a premium channel.

That's meant to be released as a DVD same day as the movie's out, apparently.

I've been rereading Watchmen lately, and I do think it would have to be heavily altered to work in a movie. Moore really exploited comics' ability to show 2 things from different times and places happening at once. For one thing, the chapter told from Dr. Manhattan's POV would be almost impossible to do.

Still, I prefer to hope for the best, even if I'm expecting maybe not the worst, but a disappointment.

For once Malin Akerman appeals to me.

For once Malin Akerman appeals to me.

For the first 10 minutes of the Heartbreak Kid, she was my perfect woman...then she went crazy.

...are there any black characters in Watchmen?

[karaszero]

I think I saw a black face or two....in the crowd scenes!

...are there any black characters in Watchmen?

The Watchman had No black superheroes. 

In one of the meeting of The watchman team, on their board-of-problems,  one of the topics is "Black Unrest".

There is however 3 black characters with minor roles.

1. The kid who is reading a comic that paralells a story point, is black.  He doesn't speak much.

2. The prison psychiatrist that interviews Rorshach.

3. Said doctor's wife.

There are images from the movie of the young man reading the comic available on the net.

The power structure is very conservative in the Watchman Universe.  US won Vietnam.  Nixon wasn't impeached!  And that power stucture is white.


Excelsior!

She didn't redeem herself in "27 Dresses".  Ugh.

Is there a Heroes spoof that mixes the Police Academy theme music?
