Alright, now I'm even more stoked to see this than ever before.

I do have a few questions, but I'm not sure which you can answer. I'll post the few that I think you can.

Q: While I can't speak for everyone else, I know when I finished reading the comic for the first time I didn't hate the Comedian, although I should have with all of the horrible things he had done. Did the film achieve a similar effect for you?

Q: Did Nixon's makeup and prosthetics look fake? If they did, did you get the feeling that it was the intended effect?

Q: I think this may have been asked, but how was the pacing? Did it ever feel rushed?

Q: Can you confirm or deny that the clips released online have been edited-for-content?

Q: What was the general reaction at the screening? Positive or negative?

Thanks!

Thanks for asking this, I was about to ask the same thing!

Hello DDC I know I have never really talked to you before, but I wanna say I am glad you enjoyed the movie and to be honest that's good enough for me. Thank you for posting, this makes me want to see the movie even more! (if that's even possible. )

I do have one question though, I know you answered a similar question before, but as for gore, on a scale of 1 to 10 how gory do you think it was? Sorry if this feel's like a repete question, I was just wondering.

_________________

Here's a question not exactly concerning the movie itself. When can we expect a full comprehensive MEGA-review from you? Did they give you a date/time when you can officially release something like that?

I wonder how nobody has asked this until now, but then again in the recent abundance of news i forgot about it too. Can you tell us about the placement of MCR's Desolation Row cover, did it come on during the credits, or did it start playing during the final scene (like "My Way" in Goodfellas). If it's the latter, did it work with the scene?

DDC u are one lucky sob.


so besides all the little questions on details, how awesome was it?

_________________

yea I have heard some reviews by people and all they haft to say about it is that it was "good." What were you feeling like when you got out of the screening room. Everyone who has seen it is not showing a whole lot of emotion about it for some reason.

Let's wait a few more hours before more Q's so DDC can catch his breath when he gets back (he's at the junket/interviews RIGHT NOW as I type this).

Lots of cool content coming our way soon, no doubt.

Hey, DDC, here are my questions:

1. From 1 to 10, what is your rating for this movie?

2. Did any part of the movie feel like a let down for you?

3. Is the "Pagliacci" joke in?

4. Is Ozymandias the "obvious villain" in the movie, or does it take some figuring out?

5. Is Ozy an interesting character?

6. What is the best thing about the film? The worst?

_________________

I've felt this as well. For some reason, everyone, including DDC, are pretty calm about it (no raving or ranting). Is this a good thing?

_________________

One other question, DDC. Is it explained in the film why its Dan visiting Adrian instead of Rorschach?

everyone chill with the questions for awhile. He will have a lot to answer when he returns.

Probably because of the embargo. They have to say either "I liked it" or "I didn't like it", or else they'll get in trouble with WB.

If you watch the clip and think about it it's fairly obvious.

Who can blame them after the huge backlash to Matt Sellman's glowing non-review from a few days ago?

Btw, who do you mean with "everyone" anyway? As mentioned, Sellman has been raving about it, Faraci from Chud also seems to have been blown away, Kevin Smith raved about it as far back as last summer.

Besides, like with every movie, even with a great one, some people are inevitably gonna be disappointed when it fails to live up to the hype (and what does?), no matter how it turns out. Look at The Dark Knight. I liked the movie very much and even though i have been aware of some of its shortcomings, i thought it was a great example of what a blockbuster should be ideally. But on the other hand lots of people were stating how they were completely underwhelmed, which i could absolutely not fathom, but i guess that's what happens when something gets hyped as much as TDK did. Now, i don't know how well Watchmen turned out, but even if it is really good, it's not gonna please everyone, so i think it's completely understandable that DC and others like him try to give us an calm and critical assessment of what they saw.

Also, like DC said, it must be much to take in all at once and he has to let it sink in first. I know some of my favorite movies/TV series have left me with mixed or "meh" feelings at first, until i've rewatched them multiple times (not to say that everything gets better with mutliple viewing). I'd say the same goes for music or art in general. My favorite things are mostly the ones that i didn't fully "get" at first and that have grown on me over time, by experiencing them over and over again, possibly aided by an ever evolving perspective on things, life, whatever. On the other hand, lot's of things that i like at first sight tend to lose some of their charm the second, third time around.

So let's give DC the time to let everything sink in and hope that the movie indeed is one of those experiences that while not "perfect", does grow with every viewing and does in fact demand to be seen multiple times to fully appreciate.

That scene is out. Hopefully it will make the director's cut.


The more positive reaction is coming from fans and online press. Some mainstream press seem to not like it.


What movie did they see? That scene was definitely in.

Also, the score was great too.

They cut the first Happy Harry's scene?!

What?

That's just ridiculous! How much can they possibly fit into this Director's Cut?

Anyways, really, really, REALLY happy that the Pagliacci joke is in. If that AND Happy Harry's wasn't in I probably wouldn't be seeing this movie.

I know what you are talking about. But I don't get the joke. Could someone explain it too me. I remember reading that part when he was leaving the cemetary.
