A post, since I haven't done one in so long and now that I actually have LJ friends (I feel so loved!) I think I have an obligation to spam their friends list every now and then. Feel free to ignore all the posts I've made to communities and tell me "You never spam, we love your posts!" Lie to me.

Seriously considering penning an evil plan to acquire a Blu-Ray player of any kind whatsoever. I don't know why there's so much Blu-Ray love from everyone involved in the Watchmen movie production. Did I miss a memo and now DVDs are lame? But they were cool last year, right? Unlike those nerdy CDs and don't even get me started on those douche-bag floppies. I think they might be testing our loyalty- once they get us all into Blu-Ray they'll up the ante and ask us to do something weirder. Alan Moore wouldn't approve. Not that I wouldn't do a whole bunch of unspeakable stuff to for you Snyder, but next time lets try and keep it on the cheaper side, okay?

But the news were pretty awesome, even if I won't get to see the new cut on theaters (at least a lot of other people won't either *evil*) and even if it takes me forever to see the Blu-Ray magical experience, I'll be content with my DC. The video was pretty funny, too.



I am SO coveting that 300 Blu-ray. 300 f-ing rocks!

That poster in the background is the cover for the theatrical cut DVD. Which I have kindly dissected for you.

 

I still wonder why they have Rorschach just gliding in, leaving all that free fire on his path. Those lit embers are flying way too close to little Walter, if you know what I mean. We get it, he won't be using it any time soon (considering some a-hole blew him up), don't remind us.

Where's Adrian? *please read that in your best Tim Gunn "Where's Andrae?" impression* He's a tool building. Maybe he is what's on fire on the corner- The Comedian looks certainly happy enough, so it  would make sense.

Dr Psycho!Smurf is flying! Does he even fly? Like ever? I now he teleports, changes size (height) and clones himself at will but other than when he first materializes, I don't think he's ever flown. (Well, more like hovered)

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Unlike those nerdy CDs and don't even get me started on those douche-bag floppies. LOL and i love the dvd cover you dissected.

XD It was begging to be done!

[ex-horror588.livejournal.com]

it really was begging for that.

That cover is pretty crazy, and not in a good way, IMO. The placement is so strange and I love how Adrian is no where to be found. He must be browsing his boys folder. ;) And Nite Owl looking away and down at nothing is just weird.

I absolutely love the little comments on the cover!

Haha, he probably is! It's weird though, how they just left one character out. Doesn't make any sense.

And Nite Owl looking away and down at nothing is just weird.

Hence the pet owl. I guess they forgot to add it, just like they did Adrian. ;)

I absolutely love the little comments on the cover!

Thanks! I was planning on doing both, but the other one isn't as funny.

[blackrose-kitty.livejournal.com]

I don't know why Adrian isn't on it. I'm not the biggest Ozymandias fan, but he should be on the cover with the others. Maybe it's another way for people to figure "well, he's the villain, he isn't on the cover with the other heroes".

Gah, I can't spell this morning... :)

Ozzy is my second favorite (after RR, of course) and I don't think he should be excluded!

If they excluded him because he's "the villain" then they suck. That's not even how Watchmen works. >:(

See, I lied, I do have a question for Zack, we need an explanation. Gahh, and also: what the hell were they thinking with the "Who will save us now?" tagline.

[blackrose-kitty.livejournal.com]

I'd like to know the reasoning behind excluding him myself. It's funny, when I talked to a couple people who have seen the movie (but not read the novel), they said they guessed from the beginning he was going to be the "villain" character - even though there really isn't a typical villain in Watchmen.

Rorschach is my favorite, with Laurie and Dan coming in second and third.

I agree about the tagline totally.... I would've gone with "They're watching us, but who's watching them?" or something like that. The tagline's crappy. :(

[mcscary.livejournal.com]

I must be the only dumb one who didn't know from the start it was Adrian. I figured it out before Dan did, but still, not at the beginning XD

I wouldn't have minded the good old "Who watches the Watchmen?" If it ain't broke..

[danceswithelvis.livejournal.com]

XD Love the cover text. Why is there fire in the corner? That really kinda bugs me.....

[mcscary.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'm standing with my theory that it's Adrian, and that The Comedian set him on fire. Either that or they are also big fans of the "Free fire!" Comic manip. XD

[gothic-tampons.livejournal.com]

This amuses me greatly. xD

yeah the covers fior this movie are very crappily photoshopped.>_>;;

But the movie itself is epic, let us not forget this. :)

We shall NEVER forget this. I don't even hate the covers that much, I was just having a little fun. XD
