There was a lot of blue penis in it.

Ham-fisted ham fisting.

Me too, I want my gig of harddrive space back, dammit!!

If you were a powerful radioactive demi-god, wouldn't you go around all day throwing your junk in people's faces?

I was gonna send a robot back in time, but I got high.

My friend got a Watchmen themed Rolex and I went over there to look at it and stuff. I guess you can say I watched a Watchmen watch.

Watch. 

Fuck my life. 

Yea, I saw it too.  Everyone seems to being saying the same thing about it "Big blue dick".

horray for life. boo.

They really did nail Dr. Manhattan down. I think his subplot is worth the price of admission.

If you're a fan of the book, I think there will be some things that will disappoint, and just as many that will please you. All in all, the perfect precision of the filmic images mixed with the judicious quoting from the source sent me on a ride I dont think I've been on in a movie before. It was both utterly familiar and disorienting at the same time. I left the theater a little dizzy.

It made me ponder what the film versions of Tristam Shandy, Naked Lunch and The Orchid Thief would have been like if the makers HAD been nutty enough to try to be faithfull to the source.

The should probably have called it "Crotchmen".

I still don't understand the big deal about the big blue dong.  I mean, it's constantly present in the graphic novel...why wouldn't it be present in the movie?  It's not like there's an extended shot focused directly on his schlong...it's usually in the background.  I never found it distracting at all.

In fact, I was more upset that there wasn't more nudity.  There are a few nude scenes with Laurie Jupiter/Silk Spectre II in the book.  Where were the tits in the movie?  Of course, it doesn't help that the chick playing her in the movie didn't have any tits...but still, where were they?

What really matters, though, is the character that prefers to remain completely covered, and that's Rorschach.  And he kicks unholy ass in this movie.  They should go ahead and hand Jackie Earle Haley the Best Supporting Actor award right now - especially right on the heels of having given it to Heath Ledger for Joker!

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have no luck at all. D'OH!

I couldn't tear my eyes away from it, I was so disgusted by it.

The worst part is that my GF wants me to wear blue body paint on Friday "dress up" nights.

Disgusted...or mezmorized?

And here we have pinpointed the biggest fault in this film.

More lust than you can shake a stick at.

Gotta wonder why they decided his wang chung needed to be a whole lot bigger in the movie than in the comics.

As a whole, I thought the movie was spectacular.  Yes, it differed in a big way from the source, but that's a good thing.  We didn't need another Lord of the Rings epic movie that makes your ass numb.  We needed a good movie that stays true to the spirit of the comic and doesn't screw it up.  I think the movie did that with flying colors.

But that was a big blue cock.  That was a big, scary blue cock.

And I was honestly a little surprised they had it in there.

i'm looking forward to seeing how that pedophile outfielder does playing Rorschach

what if nigger meant kite

You know, I thought the size of his meaty blue missile undercut his actual storyline. Dr. Manhattan was all disassociated with the world and above it all and everything, but he made sure when he reassembled to increase his penis dimensions by an order of magnitude. Because you know Geeky Scientist Guy wasn't packing that kind of heat.

So if dude is sufficiently invested in the real world to build himself a better dick, what's he going to do with that thing on Mars? Manhattan's not in the grips of existential angst, he's just a whiny prick.

And, yes, that means to my mind a better way of demonstrating the character's dissociation with the physical world would have been the Ken Doll approach. Manhattan could have maintained his consciousness with a nebolous cloud that developed body parts as he needed them. But that's something to discuss with the reclusive Alan Moore.

If I were Dr. Manhattan, I would float silently and mysteriously through walls and into homes and office buildings all day, sporting a beef rocket as long as your forearm.  It might even have blue lightning crackling out of it for added effect.  I would disrupt meetings, love-making sessions, ect., with a totally bored and dispassionate look on my face, like "ho-hum, mine's bigger", and then I would just as silently float out of sight again.

People would think I was all eerily detached and mysterious, but inside I'd be laughing my ass off.

I saw her tits. I'm surprised you missed them.

It's nice to see Gabe Billings still getting work.

If anything, I thought there wasn't enough blue penis.  Here you have a movie that's necessarily R-rated, and a barely-still-human character who walks around naked all the time for entirely non-sexual reasons, yet they're constantly going to great lengths (har) to position the bottom of the screen just so.  If ever there were a film that called for more blue penis, surely this was it.

Still.  All in all, a good movie.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

We never saw his dick before he was vaporized, maybe he had a seriously giant cock before and toned it down during reassembly.

It still had fewer penises in it than The League of Extraordinarily Strong Urge to Gouge Out My Eyes.

Hey, I liked that movie.

But when I first saw Waterworld, I liked THAT, too.

So I'm pretty sure I'm insulting 'League' as much as the next guy.
