Paintball? That's something you don't expect often on a film set. A fantastic end to a fantastic piece. And I love those badges.

There is so much jealousy in my heart that ...that....i can't even think.

They must be pretty confident for no RE-SHOOTS huh?

maybe they already did them

hmmm...i never ever heard about it before. not in a movie set.

but...did those smoke machines and the cars in the scenario meant...something squidy?

HappyHarry Do you have any photos from the party with you and the actors you would like to share? or are allowed to share?

I would love to get more jealous

Okay...had to ask!

Again thanks for the great story.

.....Paintball on the Watchmen movie set? You have no idea how envious I am. NO idea.

What do you guys think of the badge? While it looks cool from a design standpoint, I have to wonder if the U.S would really come up with badges, for what I assume to be a covert mission. Or maybe it's not covert if it involves Jon. He kinda stands out.

Will we actually see the badges in the film, or was that just made for the cast and crew?

Well, oddy enough, patches are made for covert missions. Check out this interesting link...

I don't think, however the Doc Manhattan Vietnam mission was covert.

And, yes, these will be the actual patches that will appear on the army uniforms during the Vietnam scene. I'm guessing you won't get as good a look at them in the movie, but it's nice to see this attention to detail.

nice to see that zack is taking liberties as we predicted - but they're cool liberties.

One thing I just noticed about the patch is that it has two crossed cutlasses. Black Freighter reference?

They're also crossed behind the smiley like a skull and crossbones would be.

Boy, that Zack Snyder knows how to throw a party.

You are the envy of the Watchmen fandom right now, HappyHarry. You should go to Vegas and take that kind of luck with you.

Thanks very much for sharing the story. I think the site and the forum are richer for it.

Your name is surely fitting, HappyHarry. What a unique experience. Good to know the crew got along so well and I like the detail on the bacth. Very cool.

WHO IS TO BLAME?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet:



Touché, Zack Snyder.

Yeah, that was a great little workaround. Seems they thought of everything -- or at least, I hope so.
