MAN, I am so kicked about this film. I know, I know, Zack Snyder has not proven himself to be an ace, but he does have a great visual eye. I mean, 300, hell. So yeah, here we are, with the first set pictures of Watchmen, and I have shown you the one WITHOUT Rorschach, because this is brilliant. It’s got tiny details exactly as Alan Moore’s manic obsessive head spewed onto the page. There are more pics, one of course with Rorschach, how can you not have one, but also some nice detailed shots of a bus stop with the Gunga Diner posters and the actual Gunga Diner too.
The more I see it, the more I understand that Snyder gets the imagery of the book down pat. No detail was too small for Moore, and so it isn’t for Snyder. Whether he gets the rich thematic context of the book is something that I won’t be able to tell until I see the film. But ho, don’t let Beatzo dissuade you from gawking at the pictures. C’mon, you know you want to . This is the comic book geek’s pr0n and you know it.
