. . . Yeah cubed. . .

The title of my blog is another quote from Yugioh Abridged, its a very long quote, so long infact that it will take many future blog titles to complete

Hello to you people, I just got back from seeing Watchmen and I thought it was pretty decent. Unlike many movies that are remakes from other media *cough* Dragonball z movie *cough* Harry Potter 4*cough* this movie was pretty accurate. The scenes follow the scense from the book almost to the dot until the end where they go totally off the book . I only spotted three things wrong through out the entire movie.

1. It doenst explain how Rorshach got his mask which probably confused the hell out of those who havent read the book and dont know how this ordinary guy has a seemingly magical mask. The movie however is very long and I can see how the producers thought this was an expendable scene for time sake

2. The characterization of the Therapists, in the movie he is hardly a major character at all while the book he seems to represent the ultimate good that is still left in the world, that human beings are inately good contrary to The Comedieans view of the world (the view excepted by most of the Main Characters) He is the only one in the story who is able to see Rorshach's way of thinking and how he looks at the world. Though providing character for this guy would have needed way to many scenes and like a said before the movie was long enough as it is

3. The death of Holis Mason, In the movie he doesnt die. Unlike the other two omits i think this one could have been in the movie. In the book when Veidt is fighting Nite Owl and Rorshach there is a scene in New York where two lesbians start beating the hell out of each other and large fight ensues as Veidt is talking about how the Comedian was right about mankind *that scene was cut from the movie also * I just think in stead of cutting it out and leaving it they should have replaced it with Holis Mason's murder and it would have had the same effect

I also didnt like the actor who played Veidt, the way he acted in the movie just screamed villain dude and in the book the fact that he is the bad guy comes as a total shock.

Other that those things there were a few miniscule diffrences that dont mattter like Rorshach blinding a kid with a cigarette but they dont really mattter.

A few good changes they made were adding the part about the Trachon watevers to the begining of the story instead of the end making the whole thing less confusing, also omitting that plot with the alien conspiracy and substituting it for Dr. Manhattan.

... and your loud music and your pierced scrotums. . .

I love Y:TAS quotes. LK's been updating very frequently lately. HP4 wasn't very accurate to the book, but it was still good and a sh*t-ton better than DB, dude. I've yet to watch Watchmen, but I'm dying to.
