Of course I can understand that, you've nothing to say as its occured to you, you didn't actually read my post properly before you posted last night.

I did read it, that is why i know you didn't say much worth responding to, since, as noted, you don't know what you are talking about. It's sort of a waste of time.

Ah so you've fallen back to the position of obvious troll and all that, good work sir you win the interwebs.

Yup, you got me. I'm going around making spurious claims about works I've never seen or read to rile people up, very troll like behavior it would appear.

The crux of this seems to be that you have formed an opinion on something you have neither read nor seen?

Reminds me of the Daily Mail review. I don't what film they watched, but it certainly wasn't Watchmen.

I failed to see a Rape scene (described by them as graphic) nor did I see the promised 'little girl being ripped apart by Dogs'.

Now, what I DID see was an attempted Rape, with an immediate reprisal, and the non too subtle suggestion of what the missing girls fate had been. Far, far from what the Daily Nazi claimed.

As for the shooting of the pregnant woman, it's central to whole theme. The Comedian even points it out. He pulls the trigger, sure. But Dr Manhattan just sort of stands there doing nothing, when it was well within his capabilities to stop harm coming to the woman. He would even have known what was coming, being able to see the past and future at the same time. Why is this central? Because it asks questions about responsibility. The Comedian had become too dependant on Dr Manhattans god like powers, and that affects his judgement. If you had a loaded gun, and knew for a fact that should you point and pull at someone, that your buddy could and would prevent any and all harm, the moral quandry of whether to do so or not becomes a lot less clear.

Well as I wasn't responding to the comic in the post you responded to, you obviously got that part wrong, but as your are too proud to admit it. I withdraw from the discussion dear sir. No point banging my head against a wall if you don't even read the posts.


edit - that was at Ahtman, not MDG.

Oh and I will add the rape thing and other bits mentioned wasn't so much me bothered by it (as in not really at all, I've done worse in my RPG games) as I noted a few times, but how I reckoned the way it was being portrayed in movie spot shows as a true 'superhero' film.

Something that might indicate the horrifying drop in auidences the Watchmen has recieved in its second week, which according to several movies sites is down to terrible 'word of mouth' by folks going to see it.


I would like to stress once again, I have no actual issue with this film and intend to see it.

Gentlemen, please continue the discussion and ignore posts to this point that you might have considered flaming. I would restart the thread but there has been some good commentary on all sides.

I went to see it with the rest of my workmates, there were about 5 women in the full cinema.

I had.. no idea.. men found penis's THAT funny. I mean jesus f christ.

Tits= Fine. Full frontal female= Fine. Arse= Fine.

Man bum =*massive giggling*, Penis =* hilarity*.

It got so silly so quick, it was nearly embarrassing. I don't laugh at boobs in a film. I just plain don't get men at times.

I know this had nothing to do with a review, but I still can't believe the response that blue wang got.

To be honest as sad as it is, I think the 'blue wang' is probably the reason for the dramatic fall in auidiences. More so than my concerns of how it was advertised a few pages back.

Odd species aren't we.

You know I would not put that past the general audience that was there.

They were so, so uncomfortable with that little blue outline and its 1 minute of overall film time.

Yet tits and girl ass is fine and the norm. I mean I have no problems with women in the media in general, but that really pissed me off, that the idea of a naked man was embarassing, but they couldnt wait for the silk spectre to get her tiny kit off.

Oh look at me I'm a girl I am above laughing at sex organs. Penises are funny and there should've been more of it.

Head/plant into desk again and again...
