And I will whisper.... motherfucking yes.

For anyone who was a little "meh" on Watchmen the first time around, or isn't pleased with how it holds up to the book, please read this: An Open Letter from Watchmen screenwriter David Hayter

It's awesome, even if you loved the movie. I can't wait to see it again.

THIS. MOTHERFUCKING THIS.

Like, seriously. That is pretty much my philosophy on anything media related in a nutshell. If I can TELL that the people behind something care about it just as much as I do, when I can TELL that they've poured all their energy and talent and tenacity into it, I just find completely impossible to write it off. Yeah, there might be a few things that disappoint me sometimes, that don't ring true, but being all "WAH WAH IT WAS FUCKING HORRIBLE BLAHHHH IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE WHAT A FUCK UP WANK WANK WANK"....god, I just find it so unbelievably rude and distasteful.

GAH. AND NOW I'M FREAKING OUT BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY I CAN SEE IT FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEKEND :((( I WANT TO HELP, MR. HAYTER! I REALLY DO! *weeps*

I just finished reading this and I am proud of myself for making plans to see a matinee of it on Friday. =D If I can get a third viewing in, I will.

Trust me. You'll come back, eventually. Just like Sally.

Damn.

IT TOTALLY IS.

That whole letter was spot on.

I will be going to see it again...I'm so glad he wrote this. He gave a bit more life to the film with this letter since he showed us how much work and love it took to make this film.

I loved the movie up until the ending. I miss the squid. :-(

(I know, I know, if they'd kept it, all anyone would've been able to say about the movie is "giant space squid," which does not make a good review.

Sort of like how all you hear now is "giant blue penis." ;-))

A couple more places for you to look - I found some lovely ones at [livejournal.com profile] redumbrellas, and [livejournal.com profile] terminologique did a handful. But I'd love to make some! However I can't right now, I have a paper due tomorrow morning :( I'll do them as soon as I can though! :)
