It opened here a while back. Very popular, apparently.


If you have ever seen 12 Monkey's making-of doc on the DVD, you'll imagine that Terry Gilliam was in a lather that Ledger couldn't finish the new film.

Read what he has to say here.

Edit: *Just* realised this would have fit in nicely in this thread

But if you see it from a distance, and you don’t know it, your reaction is going to be more along the lines of “Who the hell is that?” and “What’s going on here?”

it was tying it into the rape-revenge stories and making light of a verys erious sub-genre that kind of offended me.

hurm....
"It's fair to say that Iron Man is Marvel's best movie"
"[The film] V for Vendetta was very, very, very good"

I agree with the eye roll on V, but what would you say was Marvel's best movie?

X-Men 2. Though Spiderman 2 was close. I'm pretty sure those are the most respected...

Haha, that was my reaction!! Completely. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks, you are a thread-saver

Two of them chose to watch the trailer after they had finished the GN.

As George Gene Gustines reported for the Times, DC has printed 900,000 copies of the trade since the trailer debuted with The Dark Knight. The paper cites Levitz as saying that, in total; DC will have printed more than a million copies of Watchmen in 2008. "As far as we can tell from our conversations with the book industry people, there has never been a trailer that did this," Levitz told the Times...

According to BookScan, which measures sales at brick-and-mortar bookstores, Watchmen sold about 100,000 copies in 2007.

So, if I'm reading this right, it went from 100,000 copies in the whole of 2007 to 900,000 copies in one month of 2008.

From 100,000 copies in a year to 900,000 copies in a month.

100,000 in a year, 900,000 in a month.





This does not compute. My brain seems to be incapable of comprehending such a leap. I can't begin to understand how that could happen, only that it is AWESOME!!!

Even if the film fails in epic fashion and ends up screwing the story and sucking big time, thus far 900,000 new readers are experiencing the original GN in all it's purity

900,000 !!!!


Amazing isn't? I'm one of them.

Later in the original article the figure of 1 million is confirmed.
Yes, you are one in a million (but we knew that anyway)

1 bloody MILLION!!! Holy Mother!

Haha, you all know because I say it so much... hmm.. I'll stop now. Promise.

Hehehe.
Yeah, 100,000 in 2008 before the release of the trailer and 900,000 ever since the trailer hit. So a total of 1 Million in 2008 thus far!

Compared to the 100,000 total in 2007.

Awesome beyond words!

When I picked up my first copy of the GN way back in the summer of 1988 those kind of sales figures were inconceivable within 8-9 months!
