# wait for the film to come out then everyone will pretend they loved it from the beginning,
Despite the film no doubt being a shallow and cowardly re-telling with a shit new ending like V for Vendetta ;)

# i missed out with v for vendetta
i tried reading it after the film came out, and just couldn't get into it. i'm trying to cram the classics of the more cult comics (read preacher, working my way through transmetropolitan) so i'm ready to bitch about the adaptations :)

# there are bits of the film I like
but they utterly fucked the point of it.
Evie went through hell to lose her fears and become the new V, but the film ignores that and just has everyone as V, making Natalie Portman's character utterly redundant.

Fucking rubbish.

# in all fairness
half of these comics would work better as short HBO series, like they're doing with preacher, i'll watch that when it comes out, but i'm still sceptical

# i'll read V for Vendetta when they do an Absolute Edition.
the print quality on the trade paperbacks is awful, it's in sore need of Re-Mastering.

# i have hopes they will do a good job on watchmen
there seems to be a fairly ok cast of relative unknows who suit the characters and zack snyder has said they he doesn't want o cut corners with the film.

no doubt mr moore will not approve as always, and fairplay to him, if he wants to disassociate himself with it that his deal.

i don't think that the movie will ever live up to the book, but i'm fingers crossed that it will be a credible version.
