Dupe, although the original also had a PIP display of the real trailer running in the corner.

Well it depends on your expectations really, I certainly think that audiobooks can be as compelling if not more so when told by a talented reader.>> ^Deano:

So a webcomic is where they partially animate the original panels from a graphic novel? Seems an odd thing to do and it doesn't really work in my opinion. It's designed to be read at your own pace, not out loud by someone else.

^ This is what I did. Chapter 6 dealing with Rorschach was definitely the stand out of the graphic novel, far more fleshed out than the portrayal in the movie, although understandably it had to make compromises as his background isn't exactly all that pertinent to the main plot.

They really should have made this in a mini-series and followed the novel more or less to the page. Taking in the entirety of the novel in one sitting, let alone by an audience used to simple blockbuster superhero movies like Spiderman and Iron Man was never a good idea.

I haven't watched the movie yet as I promised myself I'd read the novel first, which I'm doing right now. Anyways, Rorschach is definitely one of the more memorable characters I've ever seen, if you enjoyed his film adaptation you should definitely grab the graphic novel.
you should also get Watchmen - Motion Comic 1-12, it's the comic book, animated and voiced by the movie actors. very interesting experience.

Your video, the watchmen-rorschachs journal october 16th, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

The very best version of this film is: http://www.amazon.com/Watchmen-Ultimate-Blu-ray-Zack-Snyder/dp/B002IYEQR4

It includes every bit of the story (accept the original alien monster plot/ending) including the black freighter animated short, and all the extra scenes they cut for time. Its amazing.

I'll watch it, but I'm going to view the source material first. What I should have done with Watchmen.

Who watches the watchmen?

@NetRunner. Does the Watchmen even have a moral to teach? Sure, it's political, but a moral? Who cares either way, I suppose.

The fundamental difference is within the agenda of an interest group aimed at social engineering children vs. an author writing a political narrative. You seem to think somehow I'm trying to censor people or trying to enact a law to combat them, which is simply not the case, and quite frankly a pedestrian effort at a smear. I thought Mark Evanier's blog entry above was interesting and worth continuing the exposition, so I did because the nature of interest groups trying to secretly influence children is insidious and worthy of note, in my opinion.

It's not that it's solely aimed at kids; it's because of the hidden agenda to socially engineer us through repetitive indoctrination. Repetition is how children learn, and it's irresponsible of them to decide what subversive lesson to secretly teach children. If every Saturday morning cartoon taught children to go with the pack, be sheep and not question voices of concert, then think about the indoctrination they then reap upon their minds when they go to public school. We were taught American history as a historical triumph with clinical distance to the shameful parts of it. We were told to stand and cover our hearts for the pledge of allegiance. The presidents of the US were shown to us as nearly godlike champions in which we were to enshrine with our craft paper and glue. I still remember my President Lincoln log cabin I made from paper that had a silhouette of him in the door. We were all forced to make that, by the way. That wasn't something I chose.

That's the issue I take. The one-size-fits-all indoctrination of how to be an uber-citizen by doing what the group tells you is right. This is a horrible message to teach children. This has nothing to do with harmless teamwork and trying to be social and getting along with others. It's about being a cog. That's the issue I take. Clear enough?

I'm pretty sure I get the point, I'm just trying to reconcile it with your other positions.

Explain to me the difference between Watchmen and this D&D thing. Watchmen is okay because it's not aimed at kids? Because it's intentional indoctrination perpetrated by the author, and not intentional indoctrination perpetrated by the author at the behest of others? Because it's actually well written?

I would agree that the "not aimed at kids" bit would make a difference, but with a bit of research I'm sure I could come up with a better counter example. I'm not so sure that first order indoctrination vs. second order indoctrination makes any kind of ethical difference though, just a difference in the quality of the resulting propaganda.

I guess I'm just trying to ferret out what you think the root ethical problem is.

Sigh. Really? Just because they can do it doesn't mean I have to like it. I am making a point to be persuasive, not begging Congress to make a law. Missed the point.

The message of Watchmen can hardly be considered "indoctrination". There are no special interest groups trying to social engineer your children through the Watchmen. Missed the point again.

I guess I don't understand. Are private citizens not allowed to persuade private companies to do things they want?

If you weren't so anti-statist, I'd swear the phrase you're looking for is "there should be a law", but that can't be right, can it?

If the indoctrination you stumbled across was more to your ideological liking, something like Watchmen perhaps, would you be drawing people's attention to it and deriding it?

Is this like a semi-serious Mystery Men?


I would say closer to a non-serious version of Watchmen
