Dave Gibbons On the Forthcoming Watchmen Movie 181
An anonymous reader writes "Den Of Geek has been talking to comics legend Dave Gibbons about the upcoming transition of the Watchmen from the comic book to the silver screen. 'There are hardcore fans out there who'll be satisfied with nothing less than a word-for-word, line-for-line, scene-for-scene recreation of the comic book. I didn't believe that was ever going to happen.'" It's a rather short interview, but Gibbons addresses some interesting elements of both the movie and comic-book worlds.

Looks like its going to suck. Bad actors, the director is a dweeb, the special effects are going to be laughable.
With production values this bad, who will watch The Watchmen?

Now how is Hollywood going to top that... I have an idea: Oceans 14. We put in Matt Damon, Leonardo de Caprio, George Clooney, and any many who has ever even considered being in an "Oceans #{i += 1}" movie, and then at the end of the daring casino caper we kill them all. I would pay to see that twice, and then buy the DVD so I could skip straight to the good part.
In fact, forget the casino caper, that part tends to drag anyhow. Tell you what -- they break in 2 seconds into the movie, it turns out the pit boss is River Tam, and the next 90 minutes is filled with non-stop star killing.
