1. ME!
I can't wait. Hope it lives up to its hype.

I think the actress that is playing the silk spectre looks perfect...

3. Not me.
I have no interest in seeing that movie.

But those who do go, have fun! :) :hi:

4. The only way I can watch this film
Is if they cut out that unreadable pirate side-story. Reading that is like watching Alan Moore kissing himself in the mirror.

And no, that wasn't the first simile that came to mind.


Having said that, I have to admit that the first trailer I saw for it was far and away the best comic book movie I've ever seen. I walked into the theater just as Dr. Osterman was looking at the watch, and I knew in an instant what film it was.

Very cool. I won't likely get to see it in the theater, but that's okay. I don't even mind hearing about it, because it's not as though anyone can spoil the ending for me (assuming that it matches the graphic novel, of course).

6. They leave out that part
I read on teh internets that it will be released as an animated bit on the DVD though.

I saw the movie this morning and it is good, maybe even very good. If you're a fan of the book I'd highly recommend seeing it on the big screen if you can.

7. At least one cartoonist, I'm guessing.
Scott Kurtz seems fired up, crafting a rich, five-part (I think) parody, in which down-and-out funny pages characters work to prevent the dropping of an f-bomb: http://www.pvponline.com/2009/03/02/ombudsmen/
