I hate how they always mention "300" and "The Watchmen" when "Dawn of the Dead" is clearly his masterpiece.


I dunno, Dawn of the Dead was great (imo better than the original), but Watchmen was amazing. One of my favourite films.

Anyway, I do not care for this film. Always thought Superman was massively overrated. I wonder when Kryptonite, the super rare, super secret material that's Superman's one weakness, that's available in every corner store in Smallville, will come into play in this movie

I too found this movie mediocre, which was a shame, but he was amazing. He's even better in Little Children.


What do you have against giant blue cock!



Really, the only part I liked was the ending, and not the "heros", but rorschach's. Everyone else was content with murdering a city "for the greater good", rorschach was like, "fuck that noise, that makes you murderers". They be like "No G, we are STOPPING murdering dog", then Rorschach's little diary gets out and all the killing was for nothing...secrets out. Might as well be a story of wikileaks...except Rorschach's a crazy mother fucker. At least, that is how my brain remembers it, I might have added my own context.

Given the fairly graphic violence in this clip, it's probably nsfw?


Tits at work= No
Moaning vocals= No
Gratuitous violence=okay

It is sex the workplace is worried with, not violence.

Who watches the watchmen?

I don't think I would go as far as saying to steal is morally the best choice, but rationally the stronger choice. If 2 gods incapable of lying were on staged, and promised to share, that is the most moral position. Well actually, IMO, 2 people that CAN choose to lie deciding not to is more morally pretty, so 2 humans choosing share because they want to do the right thing is the best moral outcome, and also the hardest to achieve. And to that end, your suggesting that stealing becomes more moral starts to gain a little traction in real world human transactions, but it only works if you can get people to act in a certain way...so it is morally dependent on the actions of other people, which is not a good place for your morality. All it takes is a type person Rorschach, a moral high grounder whom wants to punish injustice to ruin the plan, as in the movie version of watchmen. The conflict of justice with fairness makes a TRUE solution imposible to have. This is one of the moral problems that lead me away from my faith, Justice and Goodness being incompatible in the way they cary themselves out. For instace, a person whom wants to not do the "right" thing (share) but make sure a person that does the wrong thing get screwed (push for stealing by stealing ensuring that both get nothing) is incompatible with the Goodness version where share is the only option. The conflict between "Love" and "Justice" meant, to me, that there is no way to be loyal to both at the same time, and anyone who says they are is a lier. Anyway, didn't want to drag the conversation here per say, but this was a key kind of conversation I had with myself in a very similar chain of events as to this gameshow...a showdown of ideas, ideals, and morals.

>> ^RedSky:

Lol, last time this show got posted I suggested the exact same idea.
>> ^RedSky:
Stealing is both rationally and morally the best choice because:
1 - If they steal, you would have been screwed picking the other option.
2 - If they share, you can always voluntarily give them half after, thereby forcing a share scenario.


>> ^RedSky:
@direpickle
I admit the idea does hinge on being able to convince the other fully of your actions, but if you can, then you'll effectively have changed their payoff to steal = nothing, share = possibility of something. If you can see you've evidently convinced them, you could even pull a fast one and instead choose to share thus saving you time and effort! I guess it's kind of contradictory to effectively act benevolent through authority but in a limited case like this, where you can reduce the uncertainty of an undesirable outcome considerably, I think it's fully worth it.

Loved reading Watchmen, thought the film did it good service. Different perhaps, but I think the characters and the world they inhabited felt similar enough for me. Liked V too, but I never read it so can't really comment.

As for the decline of comics/graphic novels...I look to the internet. There are a lot of really bad webcomics, but there are some real diamonds out there with great artwork and writing and all they need is a succesful kickstarter to get into print.

I'm as anti-remake as they come, but I also support the re-imagining of a story in a different medium (a la The Watchmen). Seeing something like this sets my mind a fire about what a live action remake of Heavy Metal would look like with today's CGI, etc. They'd have my money, but only if they kept the initial story intact, like they attempted to do with this homage.


Why in the hell would you want a live action Heavy Metal? And the same story, remade? Are you a Hollywood executive? Jesus fucking christ!

The whole point of Heavy Metal is to make it look exactly like the magazine. How about an all-new Heavy Metal using state of the art hand-drawn animation? ... with tasteful CGI assist or maybe one CGI short like Animatrix. That is what the *real* fans of Heavy Metal (and not marketing victim consumoid bots) want to see.

@critical_d Don't listen to these fools.

If you want something that will take the place of books, get a dedicated E-reader.
I own a Nook ($99) and thoroughly enjoy the following aspects of it:

1) The text/display looks like paper/ink
2) You can read it in the very bright environments (even in direct sunlight)
3) You don't have to charge it after 4 hours of reading, instead, I charge mine about once every other month. Yes, you read that right, I only need to charge it every-other-month.

Yes, nay-sayers will tell you "but it can't do __________ and it can't do ___________"

To them I say "it does ONE thing REALLY WELL, it allows me to read books/newspapers"

Now, IF you have your heart set on just reading comic books, yes the Kindle Fire is your best bang for your buck currently: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/11/16/142310104/why-amazon-loses-money-on-every-kindle-fire

p.s. If you've not read it, Alan Moore's The Saga of the Swamp Thing is VERY FUCKING GOOD. It's much better than The Watchmen imho.

Meh. A grab for cash.

Want to know the origins of the Minutemen or the Watchmen? Read the original work. It's all there.

Who watches the watchmen? Iraq/Afganistan vets. Honestly, isn't this like the 2nd or 3rd case of a vet exposing a bad cop?

The lack of a comedy tag should have tipped me off that it was a missed click but I guess I didn't give it much thought.
