I watched the first 2 chapters. I've read the graphic novel 3 times but I'll eventually check it out. Isn't it true that ONE GUY does the voices for every character? Even the women? What's up with that?

I haven't read the whole graphic novel.
One of my friends showed it to me and I read a few chapters, and I look forward to the movie.
Hopefully I'll have a chance to read the graphic novel before seeing the film.

Aside from the Comic Con promotional one-sheets, which were admittedly very striking, the poster campaign for this flick hasn't been very good. That poster, in particular, is quite poor.

Oh god, I'm probably the last person to realize this but ...there'll be no black freighter-related footage in the movie???
That's a huge disappointment. I see how it's impossible to fit every bit of the novel into a feature film. But the intersecting narratives and storylines had a huge part in the graphic novel's appeal. What a bummer.

It will be featured in the super-duper 4 hour-long extended edition DVD cut.torao said:
I don't see why. The BLACK FREIGHTER wasn't a huge part of the graphic novel, nor was it the only part of the story where intersection and juxtaposition was used between different images and storylines. In adapting WATCHMEN, it's the easiest thing to cut.torao said:

Especially since they cut the whole genetically manipulated squid thingy out. Wasn't BLACK FREIGHTER written by one of the missing people who were working on the squid project? Without that angle, again it is the easiest thing to cut.
That being said, I can't wait to see that segment, either on its own or in the extended cut. Gerard Butler + animation. Should be sweet.

Yeah, you're all right. I read the news about the Black Freighter-release on Chud. That's how I realized that it's not going to end up in the movie itself. Thanks for recalling the link between the Black Freighter and the squid...I had completely forgotten about that.
It just remains a regret on my part because I was very fond of the way the embedded narrative was handled/featured in the book.

I've never seen that one before. Where did you find it?
I rather like it.

The 9 frames mirrors the comic rather nicely. Although it's interesting who they filled the spots with. Is that Mothman in the bottom right?

With like a fancy snowsuit on? Perhaps. I was thinking minutemen considering Nite Owl I and Silk Spectre I are on the poster.
