I read that the
next Watchmen trailer can be seen at
Quantum of Solace. Opening for Batman and James Bond, not too shabby. I was blown away by the
first peek, and then slightly anxious when I read that Alan Moore didn't want any credit or money from the project. Further investigation (wiki) is more reassuring; apparently
Moore hated the first screenplay written twenty years ago and then declared that the
medium was not appropriate for his story. Cut and dried, his point is that only with comic books (/graphic novels) can the audience deliberate on the intricacies of each frame and reference previous moments with ease.
Well the film was made. With any luck the final adaptation resembles the second script, written by
Solid Snake, which was regarded by Moore to be
as close to 'filmable' as Watchmen can be.
Without a doubt
Watchmen is very subtle and detailed in its dialog and imagery. The theatrical experience will be a much different one, perhaps replacing the brooding feeling with greater tension.
I cleared out the media room some. At center is the mst3k 20th anniversary box set.
I put the upstairs bathroom vanity in tonight. The granite top was a bit weighty, but I managed to not ding anything.
The shower was finished a little while ago. It's nice.
