Yeah! No one was hipper in the 80's then Bryan Adams. As a matter of fact, the only hipper artist in the 80's was....well....
EVERYONE!

Could've been worse. It could have been Phil Collins.
*curses Phil Collins under his breath*

This just keeps getting better and better. |

The sex scene mixed with the Hallelujah song I thought was perfect given Dan's predicament. Viagra didn't come along til the nineties after all. I find it very telling about our culture that in a movie where people are getting their arms sawed off, bones breaking through skin and nuclear holocaust that the sex scene is a problem for people. well, sorry to break up the '80s love XD but this scene is the one that shot the movie downward for me. I still loved 90% of it, but I just couldn't take this scene seriously the way I had wanted to. I think the SONG was a good choice, it's actually a song I really like. but the VERSION of it was bad. I'll admit my bias, I always love that moment in the comic because it's so emotional, not graphic. The other thing I did have a problem with was the extra gore. The sawed-off arms, the bullet through the woman's leg, I just don't need to see that. I summed my feelings up on another board saying that I think the Watchmen movie is an Action movie, in a way that I never thought the book was an Action comic. I think of the comic as a character study and a mystery, and as such, the extra violence and full-out sex felt a little out of place. |

That scene in the book is a lighter moment. Nite-Owl even shoots that flame thrower thing off in the book.

Oh, yeah, Watchmen. Had no problem with the sex scene. An important point of this movie was to show "real people" doing real people-type things. After all, you couldn't put that scene in a Spider-Man, or a Batman. But I hear you on the song choice, Sam; something from a Mr. Bryan Adams would have worked better (might I humbly submit Heaven?) ;D. See how I did that? I invented a new game here: how everything can be related to Mr. Bryan Adams, a kind of Six Degrees of Mr. Bryan Adams... (Take that Elbe, and your hatin' on Mr. Bryan Adams  ) |

I can just see 80S Brandon now. White high top sneakers and stonewashed jeans maybe a where's the beef or winger t-shirt. With most people if they had a time machine they would go back and do stuff like kill Hitler as a baby or if we're talking Arcalian Dan Didio as a baby but no I would go to this Pizza Hut. Nah, just make sure he never gets a job at DC. And make sure *I* do! |

For awhile I did my best to dress like Marty McFly. Does that help any? Did you have Calvin Klein written all over your underwear? ;D The more stuff I'm seeing and hearing about the movie (including that bootleg clip), the more I DON'T want to watch the whole thing. Not that it sounds bad, but it's kind of like my husband and the recent version of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe": it's his favorite book from when he was a kid, and he doesn't want to ruin the image he has in his head of it. I'm not hardcore on Watchmen, but I thought it read very good (and that includes all the lil' extras and stuff), and seeing those four-color images up on screen...it just feels wrong in my gut for some reason. |
