Why are there no talks of boycotting Warner Brothers? They are partially at fault. They should have done all legal checks before dealing with Gordon.

For all we know, Fox could (or has) offered a settlement that would allow the movie to be released and Warners could (or has) tell them to shove it. The way things look now, if Warners thinks that damaging Wolverine and Avatar sales is more profitable than releasing Watchmen and handing over money/rights to Fox, then they might be less than negotiable.

Maybe we should check out what movies Warners has that could open the same weekends as Fox's promising attractions. Maybe Time Warners, that giant company with some $60 billion in equity, is looking to devalue before purchase. 'Wyle E' eyed conspiracy theory or long term business strategy?

2. Your(!) underlying hatred of language and grammatical errors scares me, especially when I notice typos after I've reread and posted a comment.

4. Alan Moore's close minded. He writes, I assume, to tell stories. Movies tell stories. So why not incorporate a previous story of his into a movie. A wide release movie will reach more people than a top selling book. The latest Twilight novel had 3.7 million copies printed in it's first run (which it's still in, five months later). This past week more than 5 million people in North America alone saw Marley and Me.

5. You should ask Uwe to write a section for ROS about financing and casting major motion pictures. Regardless of what I think about his flicks, at least he has flicks; many, many flicks.

6. Perhaps to some posters, English is a foreign language that they are trying to learn. I taught ESL and one of the things I encouraged was students posting to message boards in English. I know the difference between your and you're enough to know when others do not. In the grand scheme of world wide communication, the details of one language don't really matter.

7. Yes, Fox should of had first right of refusal over the project when Zack came on board, but Warner's went ahead and made the movie. So, I think, Warner's should offer Fox a portion of equity ownership in the completed film. This means Fox would reimburse Warner's for a percentage of all costs incurred (which I would ceiling at 50%) and in return receive that same percentage of the earnings. Fox could state that they would have made the movie differently or marketed it better (ha!) but they didn't. To me, this solution is logical and fair.

8. Not better, different. The movie will inherently have a better sense of visual movement and actual audio. The book will have more content and the squid, in all its glory!

9. If I take up boxing maybe I could fight Uwe Boll.

10. Don't underestimate the effect entertainment has on culture, culture on society, and society on the economy. I'm not saying the Watchmen will increase car sales or encourage responsible banking (or solve food shortages or climate change, anybody remember those other non monetary yet life threatening issues) but it can't hurt.

What would Alan Moore do?

He would say F' it, and ignore it all together.

I WILL NOT IGNORE THESE PROBLEMS MOORE.

xD

I'm no Watchmen fanboy, though, just looking forward to the movie, so that sets me apart.

I think I'll go for a jog now.
