Nice that they included Sabretooth in there.
What is the studio wrangling you speak of? Is the movie getting held up for some reason? I'm also kinda dubious regarding Snyder's handling of the flick, but still want to give it a chance.

Oh, and...Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach? F'ing BRILLIANT!!! (and kind of ON topic, since he was the co-star of Breaking Away, the best bike movie EVAH!)
*Rolls 20 sided die for outcome*
Oh for Christ's sake. I really hope this doesn't delay the release significantly. I've been dying to see an adaptation of Watchmen ever since Terry Gilliam's name was attached to the project.

It's been awhile since Gilliam's name was attached, though! At least Snyder is balking at the idea of a sequel or prequel...which unfortunately means if the movie is a hit, whatever studio gets the spoils will probably hire Bret Ratner to direct...
Good way to start the day with this quote. Seriously.

How in the HELL could they even think of a pre/sequel? I mean, of course whatever studio ends up with the spoils will want to milk that cash cow, but it would most likely be hellaciously lambasted by the vast Watchmen fan base. And Alan Moore has already distanced himself from the initial foray; I wonder what his reaction to a follow up flick would be. Wouldn't be pretty! And it may be REALLY funny.
Does this work if you aren't in a Dungeon?? I'll try it tomorrow...I could lie and say i gotta look for my 20 sided die...But I know right where they are...With my Magic the Gathering cards! ;-)

Alan Moore has not just distanced himself from this movie, he's relinquished all his rights to any movie made from any book he's ever written and stipulated that any cut should go to the artists. His take is that comics are inherently unfilmable because they do things that cinema cannot, and he got so frustrated so early-on by the messes made of his work that he's just signed away the whole deal, forever, and washed his hands.
I believe his quotable quote regarding THIS Watchmen movie is: "I can tell you I will also be spitting venom all over it for months to come."
Sigh. Hero.
Also, Hollywood will milk a comatose caterpillar if they think there's money in it.
Your alignment is obviously Chaotic-Neutral. ;-)
