Watchmen - The Paint Version
Since I heard a few requests for this to be posted again, now seems like a good time to dig out the Paint version of Watchmen. No, I still have no clue where this originated. If someone wants to take credit, I'll happily give it.

	Brilliant! Quite a simple story, really, even if you include the giant expostion-fairy bit near the end. It scores over many other adaptations due to it not featuring awful sex to the tune of "Hallelujah". (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Motto. Also, was it just me or was that scene inappropriately long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was soul-eatingly long, and in IMAX I had plenty of opportunity to study the moles on his buttocks, the rest of the cinema and a giant moth that had flown onto the screen. I might see it again though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	My theory is Zach Snyder was doing that to fanservice the people who've always wanted to masturbate to Silk Spectre, giving them a nice long clip so they don't have rewind with one hand while spanking with the other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Long enough for a giant moth to crawl across an IMAX screen, I can tell you. I'd rather have seen moth sex. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	And the best part is that it's a freaking break-up song. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Man, am I the only person who actually LIKED that scene? I liked it for the same reason I liked the scene in the comic - it's a brief respite from all the constant violence and brutality, a little tender moment between two people who have messed-up lives and could use something nice happening to them every once in a while. The song was a little weird, I admit, but I didn't have any problem with the sex.

	...Uh, sorry - didn't mean to post twice. The internet went all sulky on me for a minute. (Reply to this) (Parent)
