That is true, Snyder tried his best to convert the words right out of the comic but Laurie/ SSII was just horrible I think. She needed to cuss outmore too.
[h2]'Tales of the Black Freighter' DVD Details![/h2]

Tales of the Black Freighter was always my favorite part of Watchmen and as much as I'm looking forward to the film, it's the DVD spin-off that keeps me awake at night. We've got details on the animated DVD -- which unfortunately hits shelves on March 24 instead of before or on Watchmen's release date of March 6.
Tales of the Black Freighter is a comic book within the graphic novel, a gruesome pirate story that has very little to do with pirates, and everything to do with what's going on in Watchmen itself. It follows the lone survivor of an attack by the dreaded Black Freighter, and his desperate journey to get back home before the Freighter attacks his town. It's a nice little journey into madness, depravity, and horror as the sailor realizes what the ultimate goal of the Freighter is. Good stuff. I only wish it could have been done live action -- but at least they snagged Gerard Butler to voice the main character. The adaptation runs 30 minutes -- and oddly is carrying a PG-13 rating (Blu-Ray is currently Unrated) despite previous reports that it would be R.
Also on the DVD is the Hollis Mason tell-all, Under the Hood. A combination of CG and live action, it sees all the necessary Watchmen actors reprising their roles to tell the history of the first costumed adventurers, the Minutemen. DVD extras on both regular and Blu-Ray include a first look at The Green Lantern (it's not specified whether it's the much hoped for live-action version, or a preview of the animated film), and Story Within A Story: The Books of Watchmen. The Blu-Ray version also includes a digital copy of the film.
At some point, this will be incorporated into an ultimate DVD release of Watchmen and be interspersed through the film the way it is through the book. But can you really wait that long to watch it? Check out larger images of art below.
Well that's part of why i don't pay any attention to user reviews. The people in here that say "it sucked", those werebasically their only words. They didn't expand on that or give solid reasons. Useless.

I'll Netflix it and decide whether or not I'd want to purchase it.� Here's the thing: Alan Moore gets not a dime from any of these adaptations he's waived his rights and all the money goes to the artist.
And RFX stop acting like we never get along you make it sound like we're Angel and Spike:
Fair enough.
I was waiting for Moore's name to appear in the motion comic and ... nothing.
Really sucks for Moore though, the man is a genius and I can understand why he did what he did.
I wonder is he has or will see the movie though? I mean if my greatest work were to become a movie, even if I hated it's creation, I would be so tempted towatch it anyways.
Homophobia.
