thoughts on viewing the Watchmen credits
Mar. 12th, 2009 02:46 pm(See here.)
1. Bob Dylan's grating voice over scenes from the 1940s. That's ... different.
2. I read the book, but I still have trouble identifying or remembering the characters, or figuring out what's going on in all the scenes.
3. I know this is done all the time, but I still find it disconcerting when one actor's name appears over a credits shot focusing on an entirely different actor.
4. Wow, Dr. Manhattan is really blue, glow-in-the-light blue. Not just bluish. (Why, doctor, I didn't know you were bluish.)
5. The filmmakers actually restaged the JFK assassination? That's kind of sick.
6. Aren't they going to show Dr. Manhattan winning the Vietnam War?
7. End of credits: see Brazil. Or, just see Brazil.
8. The credits are supposedly the best thing in the movie. It may have made all of TNH's commenters want to rush out and see it. Me, I'm happy to stick to my earlier decision and stay home.
