Dan has showed me that we actually have access to the Watchmen Motion Comic on our Xbox Live. It’s not the entire content though, but if anyone wants to see it in a TV version, it looks like most of it is there for about 20 bucks.

FYI- Dan does have it so I now have it and he’s read it multiple times. He doesn’t think I’ll be able to read it.

I will try! Go me. :)

“Tales of the Deadpan Freighter”

CJ – I’ll say this much. I had planned on having my wife read it prior to us seeing the movie. However, I’ve waved her off of it because of a part of the story in particular with serious violence against children. That’s just one thing she can’t handle in a story and it’s often the case that, especially when a TV show decides to go there, that she’ll turn it off or switch to something else.

I expect it will be downplayed somewhat in the movie, though I plan to check before I’d have her see it with me.

It is a compelling and important piece of literature, no question. But it is not an easy read, either.

I like either “Ozypandius” or “Dr. Panhattan” as the title for the Watchmen Palooza.

Been playing the RE5 demo.

I hope Capcom fixes the video tearing.

The controls seem clunky after RE4 on the Wii.

The Watchalooza (no.) will be sometime in February, ditto. I’ll make an announcement in whatever I release tonight – so feedback is welcome.

Rhettro — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:32:48 +0000

I would rank the reason the dog is dead as more disturbing the panel of the dead dog itself. But that event is central to the character of Rorschach. Okay I’m talking out of turn. I’ll save it for the show. :)

All of my local libraries have copies checked out until mid-February except my particular library hangout which has one on hold for someone else. Meh. I’ll have to see if the hubby owns it already. If not, I’ll just go buy it.

Then, I need one of you all to come watch the kids while I read it. Volunteers?

As graphic novels go, the violence depicted in the art wouldnâ€™t exceed a PG-13 level. But some of the prose is pretty graphic in itâ€™s violence. Of course that is a small part of the overall story.

Jack,

Is the Watchmen something *I* could read? Being the wuss that I am and all. I can’t tell from what I’ve seen if it’s beyond my realm of wuss-ness.

Although, Rhett (and Jack of course), a name that follows the “comic” subplot might be cool. Panrooned? The Panship?

I donno, I still think along the lines of WatchPan as it covers all of them, not just one character.

I hadn’t thought about the name of the Watchmen palooza. Rorschpan is absolutely not in the running. Neither is Naked Blue Pan.
Anyone want to suggest a date for that Palooza episode? I just want to do it before the movie comes out, so we don’t look like a bunch of poseurs ;) .

By: The Energizer Bunny

The Energizer Bunny — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:16:01 +0000

Naw, Rhett. I’ll wait until the WatchPan (PanMen?) date has been officially announced and will discuss it then. I think spoilers will be allowed at that point.
