Watching Watchers Watch Watchmen

SO I finally got around to seeing Watchmen and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had only heard good things about it and it wasn't too overhyped for me like 300 was. I had heard just enough to not spoil my excitment or push it over the edge. In fact I think the few moments I had heard about it is what made it more entertaining. Plus, having read the graphic novel helped too. I could sit there and say (to myself in my head, I ain't one of them theatre talking motherfuckers) "I remember that!" and "Ooo this part is coming up" and "Malin Akerman needs to teach every woman how to have sex like her."

The parts they left out were understandably left out. Certain elements could not be transfered from the book to the film. However, the Black Frieghter comic was released as an animated short and features Gerard (Gerry) Butler as The Mariner. I haven't found it yet. Mind you I also haven't looked at all. But I'm sure numerous amount of pirating websites have it somewhere... pirate pun not intended. And without spoiling it for people that read this blog... even though I have 2 followers at this point and both of them have seen it... I would like to say that the ending in the movie is different from the book... and it is a much better ending. The message is still the same and it's the same basic premise. They just do it a little differently. I'll jsut say an alien isn't involved.

Now, back to Malin Akerman. Holy fucking fuck. The "Archie Sex Scene" is possibly the closest to straigt up porn I have ever seen. In a theatre. It's just so... fucking awesome. The moves that girl makes are angelic and demonically sinful at the same time. Sam and Dean would have a hayday with her. Any men would. Myself included.

I also really enjoyed how they did the timeline. In the book there are alot of back and forth shifts though time, and reading the book I thought "Hmmm, is that gonna work in the movie" and it did... everytime. Everything worked. It's a solid film and the soundtrack is awesome. Especially "Hallelujah" playing during the Archie Sex Scene. Perfection. I was nearly screaming "Hallelujah". Don't worry, you haven't heard that last of my love of that scene. It should pop up at least once more in this post.

The gore was pretty good. I always enjoy a healthy dose of violence and Watchmen had just enough to satisfy my bloody needs without making it unreakistic in the realm of the movie. However. If Dr. Manhattan can do ANYTHING why can't he just gently lay his victims does to sleep and make thier heart stop. Do they all need to be splattered over the ground and an epic spatter of human remains? The answer is yes. Any persons who disagree shall be dealt with. I'm not sure how or when... but someday you shall recieve your come uppins.

Jeffery Dean Morgan was perfectly cast as The Comedian. I only really knew him as Papa John Winchester in Supernatural (2 references in one post... erie) and enjoyed him in that. Watchmen has just re-enforced that enjoyment. Patrick Wilson was also very well cast. Slightly skinnier than the Dan Dreiberg from the book but who cares right? *Cut to a gaggle of geeks, nerds, fanatics and wannabe costumed heroes rioting on thier blogs about how Dan Dreiberg was 10 pounds lighter in the movie than in the book*

Malin Akerman... needs to work more. In a bedroom... mine.

Billy Crudup. Apparently he's been in alot, and apparently I have seen him in alot. But Dr. Manhattan is most likely the role I will remember him as. I really liked him in Watchmen. I always heard Manhattan's voice as a deep powerful boom. I dunno why, it's just the voice I attatched to that face. Well, I was wrong. And in fact glad I was. The calm demeanor that Manhattan has throughout theentire movie is absolutely phenominal.

Jackie Earl Haley, sir, if you ever read this, I am speechless. Your performance was so sharp and clean that I actually did not find anything spectacular to say about it. You said it all already by perfecting that role.

It was cool to see the neighbour dad from "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" as Moloch. He hasn't been in anything since, well, "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids." Other pleasenty unknown actors in this movie, one Robert Wisden as Richard Nixon, Sonya Salomaa as Veidt's assisstant and Me. Yeah, I was in it. Well... kinda... If you close your eyes and just put my face on Patrick Wilson's during the Archie Sex Scene then I am... that's what I did. Worked fine for me. Not so much for the guy in front of me though. And the reason I mention the other two is to brag that I have connections to both, in fact I was taught by one. But who? I'll let you guess... you never guess who he is. He's a good actor though. He did a good job playing Nixon. But you'll never know.

Finally, Malin Akerman is hot and I want inside of her. If her and Scarlett Johansson ever appear on screen together... I will not be a ble to exsist in the same room as that occuring. My heads would explode, immediately followed by a severe implosion causing anti-matter and thus destroying the Vatican. And yes, Angels and Demons is based of that very fact.
