# *spits coffee over the monitor*
er, no. the ending is like a shit version for cretins who don't think it through.
It had to be an extra terrestrial threat, Jon was made by the US, working for the US and therefore the attacks were US born. No unity would come from that, or if one did it would only last a week. The film provides a kneejerk reaction/poor scapegoat option - hate the blue guy, he's different to us. it works for a second but then some people question it and it all falls apart.

# It started off really great
and I was living the comic. Then the noticeable things started to appear ( or be omitted more like ) but you know that's inevitable and you soldier on. By the end I thought, "what's this I'm watching again?"
Good but they did say that it was not a filmable story and I think that in it's entirety that's correct.

# I think what is there is brilliant
there are a few naff moments, but all in all its a great bit of cinema.

If you've read the book however you'll have a lot of irritants and a real "fuck off you cretins" moment at the end.

But either way, Rorschach without his mask on is awesome (a little less so and overly batman gruff voice-y with it on). I am pissed that a character who is all about no compromised was so badly compromised with the removal of the leg sawing scene :(

# I'm trying not to be a bastard and spoil it for anyone
but that whole episode is fundamental to the turning point of the character and for me that was one thing that should have been done verbatim.
It's defines him and also tells the viewer that things have changed. This would not have happened previous to this episode and now we have 'Rorschach'
Just one of my niggles, probably the biggest after the squid.

# The Scourering of the Shires never happened either!
To admit something totally heinous.,as comic book movies go I do love Josie and the Pussycats. My No 1 comic film still has to be The Crow (whilst spitting and spewing over every sequal they made afterwards the cash grabbing cunts!!!).

# I thought 'Josie and the Pussycats' was brilliant!
Far too subtle for the children it was aimed at.
The songs were great too.
:D
(I helped save b3ta! LeightonJimbo has remembered his password!, Sun 8 Mar 2009, 19:02, archived)
# I loved the songs
The great bit was the movie was based around subliminal messaging and the songs used harmonic minors and C major at about 60 BMP and that's about as a subliminal music liking format that you can get.
The cash were great as well.

# Better still
Music theory!

60 BPM is the rate of the average heartbeat. C major scale has no minors in it so is very rousing and the harmonic minor is basically a minor scale (so bluesy) with a nice little melodic run in it.

# speaking of the mail
their review of the film is beatifully teeth gnashing and outraged, and includes a complaint about a scene that is neither in the book nor fim

"This despicable trash will find an audience among sad sociopaths, deranged pseudo-intellectuals and brutalised, immature men of all ages."

"a six-year-old girl is torn apart by dogs."

it does happen in the plot in all fairness, but they heavily imply that you see it on film, which you do not (i am told, i've not actually watched it yet myself)
edit: actually it doesn't happen in the plot either does it? the remians are disposed by being fed to the dogs, which is a different thing.
