WatchmenComicMovie.com Forum

I've been posting some interesting fan films since I started this site. Anybody have any favorites? The 14 year-old's commentary rocked. Love to get him in this forum.

He's to Watchmen what the Star Wars Kid was to, um... Star Wars.

Snyder should cast him as the young Walter Kovacs. Petition, anyone?

Thanks, CLINT. You heard it here first. David Walton has now been officially renamed "The Watchmen Kid."

But I would bet dollars to donuts David can kick the puss out of that wussy Star Wars kid...

First of all, I think that kids are far and away smarter than they're usually given credit for. This 14-year old kid has already seen every one of Snyder's R-rated movies? And he's read Watchmen? In your face, MPAA!

That said, I'm not sure it was worth posting the video here. He raises a few good points, but none that I haven't heard elsewhere. Still, I'd love to have him on the forum (if he isn't here already).

That kid had some really valid points and he elaborated on them very eloquently. Although, it did weird me out that he implied he not only saw Dawn of the Dead and 300, but also Little Children. He does, however, seem pretty mature for a 14 year-old. He'd probably be able to engage everyone here in some intelligent Watchmen-related discussions. Isn't it ironic that his video blog is probably the most mature thing on all of Youtube and he's only 14?

This is why I posted it. Its lucid commentary, and he's 14. I though some folks would find it, informative, yet odd.

We talking Eli Snyder (Hurm) who portrayed the 7/8 year old Leonidas?

In one, he gets to grow up into Gerard Butler, the other... Jackie Earle Haley. Damn.

Well let's hope that he doesn't have as tough a transition between child and adult actor that his co-star Jackie Earle had. Maybe he could give him some on-set advice?

I'm only thirteen at the moment, but David had some extremely misinformed points. That's why I'm making my video as somewhat of a rebuttle.

Nice to have you here. I first read Watchmen when it came out 1986-87. I was 28 at the time.

Great to be here. Someone creating a full-fledged Watchmen fansite is like a gift from god himself (itself, depending on religon).

Welcome, Rorscah (did you forget an "h" or did you want that screen name?). Remember, I didn't post David's video becuase I agreed with him. I found it interesting that someone who is 14 has read Watchmen, and could make some very intellectual comments on it. If you make a video, I can't promise it will make it on the site. I can promise I will look at it.

*As a side note, to anyone "under age" reading this post, please keep in mind this board only allows 13 and over. Thanks.

Well everyone, I'm finally here. I'm really happy to see all of the positive feedback my video has been receiving. Really cool site by the way.

Thanks Curiosity. I haven't been on here to check for updates in quite a while, and im really surprised, a lot has happened in the past few weeks. I'm particularly happy to see that Snyder will be keeping the original ending.

Yeah. We're all very excited that Snyder is keeping his ass in check. Nice to meet you David, good to see a fellow youngster around.

Damn, I forgot to answer this post. Sorry about that DD, I hope I didn't come off as an arrogant pig. To answer your question about the screen name - I definitely wanted the original name that the character had, but I believe someone had taken it.

So, I see from the board's index page that The Watchmen Kid turned nineteen today.

Damn, I feel old.



Many Happy Returns, Mister Walton.
