I'm not trying to defending AC's action, my point is that his feelings of bias and possible spite towards him from WD are understandable considering what else has occurred.
And I said I didn't know about his intent, and so I also didn't know whether or not baiting took place. I admitted I didn't know.
Well let's hope we can leave it at that then, and get on with our lives. We'll return entirely to topic.
V for Vendetta wasn't a bad film. But it was crude and obvious- it wasn't a Moore story. I cannot see this being any diffferent, much as I want to see the heroes represented on screen.
(The odd thing is, of course, that Moore's entirel philosophical basis for V was ridiculous; you only have to read his inane ramblings at the time about how homosexuality was going to be eliminated even as a concept inside the UK, and he was leaving because he didn't like it any more. But the story was still very good. That's the thing with Moore, he's mad but brilliant. I prefer Watchmen because it's not DIRECTLY about politics, even though it is in a Cold War political background and the main plotline is to achieve a political difference. That's incidental; the guts of the story are about deconstructing the genre and, at base, relationships between people, like all the best stories)

Oh, and an FYI about Watchmen movie. My friend's friend was one of the writers. Apparently it's very good and about as true to the graphic novel as possible.

V for Vendetta was, as Moore said, a story about anarchy, oppression, fascism and those things existing in, and affecting, England. The Wachowskis and Silver somehow turned that into a couple of hours long of anti-Bush parable.
It wasn't what it was about at all.
I have no doubt that they're trying to make Watchmen as close to the novel as possible, but that won't be very close, because it's impossible.

To clear things here.
I did pm AC asking him NEVER to quote me or argue with me. Because I'm quite frankly exhausted and bore of his pointless rants, attacks, and babble. I did tell him that if try to provoke once again, I would notify Raz of his actions.
He's still here, right? If I really wanted to abuse my powers as mod I would have thrown his ASS OUT OF HERE without a single second thought.
He has been allowed to express his opinion fair long enough! I don't have to tolerate his attacks.
On to chillermeistern,
You were ban for acting like an idiot. You were told to drop it and you continue. YOU brought this on yourself! You were ban for bashing and yet you still went after me.
You have very bad blood with me. No matter how you deny it you hold a grudge.
I'm telling you this ONE time. I'm not going to repeat it.
Don't talk to me.
I can't put you on ignore. So I'm telling you very clearly. DON'T TALK TO ME in any forum. I do not want ANY type of conversation with you.
Now, if you will all excuse me, I'm very tired, I had a long day here in San Diego. I need my rest for tomorrow.
Saw the trailer for this, and although this film can never have the impact the comic had, it'll never symbolize what Watchmen stands for, I figure it'll be nothing more than an entertaining film. I'm probably going to see it, not expecting it to be anywhere near the original comic's level, but to me it'll be nothing more of a 'good action film'.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: The Comedian is murdered. Rorschach and Nite Owl team up, a fight here and there, Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach are the two most focused on characters, they go to Antarctica, big fight scene with Veidt, *BOOM*, end.

That's a pretty bold statement. It may rank higher than an average stupid action movie, but I bet some jackass will say, "It was no Iron Man!", which will lead me to shoot eyebullets through their skull.

Okay, I just saw the trailer, and saw it's being directed by the guy who worked on 300. Great, now I'm even more disappointed, this movie's going to be shit.
The chances that it will surpass the original comic are slim to nil. If you read the series and were able to garner an appreciation for it, you'd be inclined to agree.

I could go without it. Watchmen's too layered to be made into a 2 hour movie, that being the most. Character development will be shit, and none of them will be able to get the respect they deserve to be understood. I could go on and on, but you already know all about that.
