Can’t be worse than the film I guess.

Tic toc

I hope there’s a really uncomfortable and very long sex scene set to Leonard Cohen for some reason.

really bored of superheroes

I like the film and think it does a decent job of adapting relatively difficult source material.

The sex scene is meant to be funny and I will die on this hill.

The film was yet another reminder that you should never trust a character played by Matthew Goode

I am almost certainly going to love this. The Leftovers has set a very high bar for Lindelof. Also Regina King is a force of nature.

Tbh I can see the reasons some people are opposed to this, but also - Damon Lidelof gets a free pass for The Leftovers as far as I’m concerned.

The film is my favourite graphic novel adaptation. Very excited.

Can imagine Alan Moore is too.

Not read the comic, hated the film.

**profk** · May 8, 2019, 6:44pm

Liked the comic, liked the film. Hope to like this

**grievoustim** · May 8, 2019, 7:13pm

I completely agree with you

Honestly think the film is decent and does not take itself nearly as seriously as people think it does

**badmanreturns** · May 8, 2019, 7:14pm

fuck I am so up for this

**grievoustim** · May 8, 2019, 7:18pm

Looks like it’s not a straight adaptation of the comics, a good thing i think

**badmanreturns** · May 8, 2019, 7:19pm

Yeah Lindelof wrote this last year about it

**Icarus-Smicarus** · May 8, 2019, 7:22pm

realising the film is 10 years old makes me feel really old

even though i don’t really remember anything about it at all

**tricklenipple** · May 8, 2019, 7:23pm

that’ll be the dementia kicking in sure

**Icarus-Smicarus** · May 8, 2019, 7:23pm

it facilitated My Chemical Romance butchering one of the greatest songs ever written though and for that it must pay

**fustercluck** · May 8, 2019, 7:23pm

I’m not sure…I think the stick Snyder get is completely justified to be honest. Sure 300, wasn’t great but I was really excited to see Watchmen and went on the day it was released and did not like. Not because of the changes as I wasn’t a massive Alan Moore nerd at the time or anything, just thought it was shit. Based on interviews about other projects Snyder has done it’s hard to imagine that he has a sense of humour at all. It could all be a ‘bit’ on his part I guess but he does just come across as a bit of a hack.

**beastie** · May 8, 2019, 7:26pm

Me too. In fact I’ve had this feeling for 10 years.

Love the Watchmen movie with a burning passion. Current hype level = hyyyyyyyyype
