This is the first mostly on-time update in a while. Like most of you guys I saw Watchmen last week and what can I say? I liked it better than I thought I would but I can't help but nitpick a little. It didn't have the complex character development, slow-building atmosphere, and stories within stories that the comic had. I liked the way Nite Owl, Rorschach and Laurie were portrayed but Ozymandias fell flat with me. Also I thought the soundtrack had a few questionable choices. But all that's hardly opinions that have never been said before, so was did I like it? Yes, but as snobby as it sounds I'd recommend the graphic novel over the movie any day. ———————————– replies: @usedbooks: I actually considered showing her and Creature escape, she probably pushed past and the cops didn't shoot because there was too much of a risk hitting each other. I ended up deciding that it didn't seem as relevant how she got out of so much as that she did. I'm not sure if it was a good choice for clarity's sake but I was thinking more about pacing. It's times like this that I get reminded that drawing comics is hard! @Zephyrion: Thanks! @ulthor: I'll bet! Don't tell anyone else, it's meant to be a surprise! @Peipei: Cricket's best defenses are the facts that she can run fast and climb good. She's also pretty good at hiding too, lucky thing too– no way is she a match for these guys. @magickmaker: Yeah, no kidding, for real! @JNP: I didn't lose anything in the fire actually. Of value or otherwise. Cricket does look a little drugged there now that you point it out. @amanda: If you can't hide behind a soap crate you're not safe nowhere! Yeah, I'd really like to have the time to read more books but I've been so overwhelmed lately. @Trevor: True enough, true enough. Just remember: don't drink and ink. @Warped: Thanks! @chris_wastewater: Haha! A cargo bike probably isn't the best thing to learn on, I haven't ridden one of those myself but I'm told that they can be kind of tricky if you don't know what you're doing.
Yeah, I know how summarizing and cutting scenes is, especially for the sake of pacing. I just finished drawing a huge fight scene that took way more pages than I wanted it to despite cutting it down to only the most essential points. -_-
Yikes! Poor Cricket! I think that guy could snap her in half if he wanted to. All the same, I don't think he will. He wants Creature…
I probably won't see Watchmen. We don't have any disposable money at this point (not just ticket price but gas expense… silly rural Virginia and its lack of movie theaters).

If you can't stop that guy with a wrench, I don't know what to do?

Sure, I won't tell, I don't like spoiling things for other people anyway.

But inking while intoxicated usually creates hilarious artwork.

Patrick, you hypocrite! Complaining about them taking scenes from Watchmen and you did the same huh? ;-D
I really liked it. I decided not to read the comics till after I saw the movie. For the time they had I thought they fit a LOT of it in and very well.
It still had more character development than most super hero movies IMO.
@page: Have you ever played Street Fighter 3? Cause that big guy really reminds me of Q from that game!
Duck and run out from between his legs Cricket!!!

Watchmen was pretty good. It was kind of upbeat about murder.

Ruh oh Raggy!

I hope Ollie wasn't using his cargo bike to peddle ice cream and popsicles. Imagine the surprise! "Momma, momma, I want the bluuuuuuuue one."

Crud! And that's an understatement x.x. I fear the worst may happen now.
Watchmen was okay I guess xD I wasn't ever really a fan of the book or anything like that. We just thought we'd go see a movie :p.
