Relieved, more like.

I'm by no means a sexpert, but how many other things can be done that result in semen and begin with "J" and "O," besides the obvious?

That's exactly what I thought.

Orange with green hair?

I think of Magic Mountain.

If Snyder's Black Freighter looked like either, I wouldn't complain. What it looks like is a 2009 straight-to-DVD animation.

An '80s comic book should look like an '80s comic book. Most of the art design in the film took great pains to emulate the aesthetics of the era.

Watchmen is about neither pop culture or superheroes. It uses both of those (though really, the latter is a subset of the former) to explore philosophical, psychological, and social issues.

I didn't much care for the Troopers movie, but it did have some brilliant bits, and the bugs looked cool.

I did not care for Tales of the Black Freighter. The art style looked nothing like a typical 80s comic, which was kind of the whole point in the original, and didn't capture much of the creeping existential dread.

They thought it sounded too much like Sauron.

There needs to be a distinction made between good films that adapted a novel badly, and films that adapted a novel, and are bad.

The shots were the only part that didn't bore me. Cinematographically, it was fairly distinguished.

I listened to Catch 22 on audiobook, and didn't realize until watching the movie afterwards that the reader, whom I thought did a brilliant job, was imitating Arkin exactly for Yossarian's lines.

@avclub-404bfdece06f0fc5ba56bef1e19d8896:disqus The Rankin Bass Hobbit looks kind of like an Arthur Rackham take on Tolkien's original illustrations. Which is a great idea, though I don't agree with you on its Gollum being superior to Jackson's (homeboy was supposed to be a twisted Hobbit, not a frogman). Some of the…
