Khyle, that's just plain weird making.
- PaulSweeney
I found it on a blog called "WTF Pictures"...so yeah, weird. Not so much as in how....but in why would you create that kind of picture?
- Khyle
I think its meant to be "Playstation 3rd Space" effect: the familiar, made alien, made familiar again, and then made weird !

I read this book over the weekend. Neil Gaiman is fantastic. Highly recommended. Also - go read "Good Omens" too if you have time.

This was my favorite also, but I understand that is divides the fans a great deal. BTW, his dad just died of a heart attack
- RAPatton
Haven't read it, and wondering if I should...what's so divisive about it, RAP?
- Derrick
It is very dark compared to things like Anansi Boys and Stardust throughout; much more myth than fairytale. Fans either hate it or love it.
- RAPatton
It is very dark.... I wasn't sure whether I liked it until it was over, and then I realized I loved it.

So I know a bunch of you saw it last night. What did you think? For me, I had trouble just *watching* it. I was trying to figure out the little changed details, cuts and different dialogue. I'll have to see it again.

My two foremost thoughts were. Wow, how did Zack Snyder get this movie made? Risky choices for an event movie. Love that. Also, Malin Ackerman was just bad. The rest of the performances I think were great.
- Khyle
Yeah, I know what you mean, Khyle. I have mixed feelings overall about the movie. Big hairy thumbs up for the performances of the Comedian, Rorschach, Nite Owl (II), Sally Jupiter, and Dr. Manhattan (somewhat grudgingly, but, you know, he would be pretty difficult to play). Ozymandias and Laurie Jupiter - not so favorable. Overall, if this movie could have been made, as is, in 1987 or so, it might have had more resonance.
- Mark Dykeman
I didn't remember this being in the comic, but it was rather interesting to see that it was the Comedian who murdered JFK in the Watchmen-iverse.
- Mark Dykeman
I thought it was excellent. I went in with no prior knowledge of the written work, as I usually do and adored it. I didnt wanna go in with preconcieved notions like a lot of people because they often come out dissappointed. I just look at it as a stand alone piece adapted from a written work.

from twhirl
@Mark: I agree with basically everything you said. Great movie with great acting (I especially liked Rorschach and Nite Owl II). I especially agree with your point regarding timing and resonance and I was just discussing it with a friend. I can only imagine what a splash this would have made on mainstream popular culture if it had been released as is somehow in the late 80's/early 90's. In any case, I loved it.
- Chieze Okoye
It'll live on if it's seen as a cult classic rather than a weekend blockbuster. Problem is, it's over hyped unless you know about the novel and Moore's writing in general. As a stand alone movie - it's maddness. Give it time to be enjoyed by a wider audience over generations to come.

Re: Newspapers Should Leap, Not Stand - http://blog.outside.in/2009...
"News used to be a choice between several monologues, and is now quickly becoming one giant conversation. As that happens, news starts to be more of a meritocracy, and the built in advantage that the news organizations one had is diluted. I think a side effect of this is that there is less need for a huge diversity in news coverage. You can get all the perspective you need via secondary sources that have shown merit. Most of these arguments from newspaper people seem targeted not at the generic question "how do news organizations survive and prosper" but at the question "how do we keep as many reporters employed as possible?""

Re: Why I Don’t Follow Back On Twitter (And You Shouldn’t, Too) - http://www.lucafiligheddu.com/2009...
"Luca - I started using TweetDeck, and it really helps me organize the flow of conversations by separating people I follow into columns (industry, personal friends, etc). I also like the feature that you can have a search and it will pop up all new tweets related to that topic (say ecomm). Without it, the Twitter stream isn't nearly as useful. As you correctly point out there is less value in more noise."

"Congrats to the Twilio team on closing the round. I have a sandbox account, but haven't had the chance to play with their API. I would also encourage web developers to check out the company I work for, IfByPhone. We have a simple API as well, and you can build full on IVR using our GUI. http://is.gd/lBUY There are a number of companies out there doing very interesting things with Voice (Jaduka and Jajah for example), and making it more accessible. Good luck to Jeff and his team in the future."

POLL: Should I re-read the book before the movie or not? I read it a long time ago and can only think of it in a general sense of awesomeness at this point, not so much the details. So do I come at the movie with fresh(ish) eyes? Or with all the details in mind and see how well it captures them?

LinkedIn is great but it's for networking. It's functional and practical. In a pinch you can get some good research via Q&A. But it's not about interaction or groups IMO. It serves a specific and useful purpose.
