Yeah. I'm usually amazed at how fast SF can get marketing mobilized.
Like, during Mac World, I remember walking past the pillar-type ad boards (I usually see them in Financial District) during the morning on the way to the office and seeing some ad for Calvin Klein clothes and then when I walk past the same ad pillars on the way home, they already had the Mac Book family ad. :lol
Can't say the same thing though for the billboards on the side of buildings though - they have yet to take down the GTA IV ones...

Yeah here in LA there's still a huge Resistance 2 building ad on Wilshire Blvd that's been there since the game came out.Auron_Kale said:

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
Yeah, it always bugged how they "cheat" his height in the comic. Elevator shoes don't magically make your limbs grow longer. It's much more difficult to get away with that kind of shit in live action.my name is ed said:

I don't know if thats Gibbons style or satire on superhero comics, but all the superheroes pretty much fit the perfect short torso-long legs stereotype.

They should bookend this cut with the 5 minutes of black screen and the Lawrence of Arabia theme.

So, they showed 18 minutes of the beginning of the movie at NYCC... and the scene where Rorschach douses an inmate with oil. That was pretty cool.

Aw nice. How did the first 18 minutes play out? What scene did they go up to?fallengorn said:

If your question is concerning the ending then yes, it's
Dr. Manhattan being setup.
Talked with an action figure dealer here in SF today. apparently there are 6 shops that are given exclusive posters (1 set of hero posters for each individual store) and on the 13th the WB is going to text people the locations of each store so they can get each poster and complete the collection. There is only 100 per store though and im not to sure on how to get on that list. so 6 stores 1 hero each....thats a lot of running around.

Actually, I found Rorschach narration distracting while I was watching it. There's really no break in it until he discovers the Comedian costume. I guess this is what happens when you try to cram in as much as possible.Catalix said:

I can see it now, people will be bitching about his voice like they did about Batman's voice in The Dark Knight.fallengorn said:

Bitching? It was a valid complaint. Bale's voice ruins every dialogue scene he has as Batman, especially the end monologue (which was cheesy enough on paper)

In terms of spoilers, here's how it goes:
Buy Watchmen: Portrait if you have NO CLUE about Watchmen. It is spoiler free.
Buy Watchmen: The Official Film Companion if you have read watchmen but want to avoid most of the tidbits from the movie (it does reveal the new ending in text)
Buy Watchmen: The Art of the Film if you think you know the ins and outs of Watchmen entirely (including the new ending).
My favorite is Art of the Film (MUST BUY for the fan) for it includes art by Dave Gibbon made specifically for the film, including his rendition of the NEW ending! It's fucking awesome!!

Rumors about the ending is true. It has changed. No squid. No alien invasion. Manhattan blowing shit up all over the world. From the art, it makes sense.

There are Watchmen posters all over LA now all of a sudden.. WB also FINALLY put a huge one up outside their lot. One I saw at a bus stop had just the Comedian in it, it was pretty cool.

Just thought I'd ask, is anyone going to the San Francisco Apple Store event on the 17th?
I'll be heading down there after work and was curious.
I'm debating if I want to bring either my copy of Absolute Watchmen or Watching the Watchmen, which is more directly related to Dave Gibbons...

Can anyone remind me EXACTLY why Snyder ditched
I guess this will do, and it could appropriately fill in a foreign threat if Manhattan escapes to another galaxy before he can be caught.
the squid?

It was deemed too stupid (yet too smart) for the general movie audience. Plus, it will require an entire backstory on how
the squid
i.e. the writer's story, painting, boat being blown up.
Also, the message is still there, the scenario has been changed (as you can see).

Regardless if you like the new MacGuffin or not, it's pretty cool Dave Gibbons and John Higgins illustrated the new ending.shagg_187 said:

I think the
35 minutes ago line is still in. The panel looks small so maybe the words "thirty-five" felt out of place compared to simplified "thirty"
Or maybe it's just me
Nevertheless,

"Triggered?!?" "Triggered?!"
Why the fuck would you change the most memorable line from the entire fucking comic? I know I'm nerd raging about this, but that is just completely needless. Fuck this movie.

Gibbons probably just drew that from memory.
A lot of the dialogue was changed by Snyder to be more like the novel after he re-wrote the script himself. For example, none of Rorschachs journals were in the original script, but Snyder put them back in.
He even says 'abbatoir of retarded children' in the movie.

It's from the new book: "Watchmen: The Art of the Film". Did you read the tidbit in the second pic?
Artist Dave Gibbons and original Watchmen colorist John Higgins gives us a taste of what the graphic novel's climax might have looked like if Adrian Veidt had followed the film's script. These new "pages" were drawn at Zack Snyder's request during pre-production to ensure that the film's re-imagined ending nevertheless drew from an authentic source. Just as he did for the original series, Gibbons drew thumbnails sketches for each page before moving on to full-size art.
