What's your thoughts on the upcoming Watchmen movie?
I, personally, am mortified that it's being made. I have no idea how this can be done without totally bastardizing the source material.
It boggles the mind to think of how it could be made in under three hours and pitched to major studio execs without being totally unfaithful to the original.
I don't even want to think about the merchandising and tie-ins.
Coming this fall, it's Watchmen for the Nintendo DS! Ugh. |

Alan Moore one said: "i made my comic, now they made the movie" meaning that his comics were there still for those who wanted to check them, even if movies distorted them beyond all recognition.
But still, I feel it is sad that even the poorer version of a Moore comic will still have a wider circulation, and be better known by the public, than any of his comics.
It is sad, but many will think, watching the average whodunit into which the Hughes brothers transformed "From Hell", that there is no need to "read the book". Those watching the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" film will think that Mina is a vampire and Alan Quatermain the Mary-Sueish leader of the group, etc, etc...
Darnit... but we'll always have Paris _________________ Gloria
