And the two scenes that went way over the top from the book that didn't involve Ozy (the initial fight scene with Nite Owl II and Silk Spectre II and the prison break out scene) had to be ratcheted up in order to keep people interested (at least for the first scene) and the prison break out scene is probably my…

I agree that the violence was ratcheted up ten notches but, for me at least, the rape scene was pretty brutal.

Any chance they will re air it?
Missed it because I'm watching There Will Be Blood and I missed the marathon anyway.

What bugged me about them playing Watchtower during that scene was it doesn't make as much sense without the hoverbikes. That was what always hit me about that scene was how well Alan Moore visually replicated the song. It's a minor caveat.

Then again, we are talking Zack Snyder. That probably was toned down for him.

See, the only time that the apparent super-strengthiness of the characters bugged me was the Comedian fight scene. In the comic he gets beat up pretty badly, yes, but not put through two fucking tables and a concrete countertop. You could explain it that he was still in shape (which is the only excuse the three…

@mad: tbh, you've been bitching about the movie for months now so you aren't the most reliable resource. Yeah, the tone was off but I think you might be holding the source material in too high regard.

Don't go and see it opening weekend if you are just going to bitch about it the whole time. Wait a while and go when it is near empty so you won't piss off a theater full of people.

Whoa, wait, does that seriously happen on film?

The Spirit
Not only was the movie not very good but the theater was packed, people kept leaving but it was still packed and at the end some guy yelled CAN I HAVE MY MONEY BACK?

I honestly don't think that the slow motion was the problem. He wanted to put in the Black Freighter stuff and I think I read that he was actually faced with having to cut either the funeral scene or Dr. Manhattan's origin scene and basically told the studio he wasn't going to do the film if they made him cut that. He…

That better be the pull quote for Rotten Tomatoes.

Does the longer version have the original ending and the related texts after each paragraph?

Yeah, I'm excited now because I definitely thought AVC was gonna give it a C-

Hey, I am NOT a bad guy!

Maybe the point of the O6 returning is to save everyone who ever died on the Island (from the plane crash of course) because it wasn't ever supposed to happen.

He'd have the scar too, it'd have to have the scar.

Juxtaposition of Character.
I think there are two reasons that Locke and Jack (ha) seemingly negate each other and can act like regular people around each other.

I think that the Others figured how not to be affected by the sonic fence just like the Initiates did. Ear plugs.

It is because he is Egyptian. It HAS to be. I missed the statue reveal, but it sounds awesome.
