Three months ago, I'd never heard of her, but now she was the first name to come to mind when I read this article.  She could play the Doctor and the companion, and possibly a few villains each year.

No, I get that he gave up the money, which I applaud if you are going to rip the movie that you haven't even seen (although, not as hard to do when you are wealthy to begin with).  But Watchmen certainly never used Moore as any sort of endorsement, because I followed that movie very closely.  LoEG was shit, total…

If people have tried to pimp their movies by claiming Alan Moore endorsed them, I don't remember them.  Which movies did that?

May I get cancer aids even though I didn't say it, because I was thinking it. (For instance, I could have said I hope the finale of Orphan Black deals exclusively with only 1 of the clones.)

When you consider how lauded Sin City was by so many people, throwing charges of exploitation of women at Sucker Punch as a criticism seems pretty lame. Your average Marvel movie uses far more skin to titillate, and even Star Trek had more unnecessary flesh on display than anything here. And that's even though Sucker…

I'm just really happy right now.  It's the only show I watch on broadcast television at the moment, and so its renewal leaves me momentarily snarkless.

Not sure what anyone else would think, but I'd be very interested in what someone a great deal younger than I thinks of an old sci-fi/fantasy movie, especially considering it is the one that birthed the modern blockbuster (along with Jaws, of course). I've always been a fan of old movies that were made long before I…

I was really referring more to his other creator owned books, like League.  I thought he sold those rights freely, but I could be wrong about that. It just seems to me that some pretty good movies have been made from Moore's books, and the ratio of crap to quality is a lot better than it is for all other comics.  From…

He got to pretend he was English pretending to be Scottish.

You're right.  Racist!

I don't understand; haven't they had both a cockney and a Scottish Doctor?

I never heard that story.  That's pretty cool.

I sort of got out of the habit of watching comedies as I got older, and AD happened during a period when I was watching very little television anyway.  I will get to it, but I have to say that none of the bits I catch during flipping around are so screamingly funny as to make me put it at the top of my list.

Give it time

It's both.

I'm glad to hear that.  It does seem like most of what I read online is wholly negative, and even people I know who are not ragging on it are saying they are disappointed.

I would imagine it was keep it PG-13 or not get it financed.  At the end of the day, considering he's trying to satirize a genre that is built on PG-13 violence, I think it makes sense to to do it that way in any case.

You, Aldo, have obviously never seen a Michael Bay movie.  Or a Paul WS Anderson movie.

Snark or no snark, that's a pretty good assessment.  At the end of the day, I think he squeaked into making it all work, but I wouldn't put up a fight with DO's opinion here.  And I at least credit Snyder for recognizing that movies can even have levels.  Flicks with budgets that big don't normally get their text…

After trying and failing to get past 30 minutes the first time, I tried this movie again a few months ago and liked it quite a bit.  It still took me a lot longer than 30 minutes to really buy into it, but I eventually saw what he was going for and appreciated it.  And it's really not anything all like a fanboy…
