Watchmen

[Optimal Optimus Primal]

Remember in my Gatecon report from August last year that Garry Chalk (Optimus Primal) told me he landed a small part in the new blockbuster hit Watchmen? I haven't seen the movie yet but friends and family have spotted him in it as a U.S. General. Schweet. It's such a small part that I don't think he's credited at all but he's there.

I've also heard that this is a really good movie but that there's a lot of graphic gore and nudity in it. Neither of those bother me; I'm just looking forward to the special effects, action and getting to know the characters since I have not read the graphic novel yet.

Has anyone else seen this movie?

Just got back from it. I missed Gary WIll have to look for him when I rewatch it.

That said, it is very graphic but also an amazing movie with a great story and special effects. I loved it and hope to see it again next week.

I went to see the midnight premiere the other night. Gary is in the war room with Nixon and is basically giving him the run-down of information about the Russians. He gets a lot of dialog, actually.

Also, I know some guys are squeemish, so I'll be up front. There's a lot of swinging cod in the film because Dr. Manhattan is nude most of the time. Otherwise, it was enjoyable from my stand point

Oh, and before I went to see the movie, I wasn't sure about Jackie Earle Haley playing Rorschach, as the photos they had of him on IMDB before the premiere were not.... what I pictured from reading the comic. However, he cleaned up AMAZINGLY for the movie. I do say, I fell in love with movie Rorschach. I <3 sociopaths! *huggles Rampage and Rorschach*

Plan on seeing this later on today. Haven't read the GN yet, but I plan on getting it one day.

Ugh. I didn't get home until about 1am this morning after seeing Watchmen. But it was worth it! Quite a long movie.

That said, it is very graphic but also an amazing movie with a great story and special effects.

I agree, Baron.

I went to see the midnight premiere the other night. Gary is in the war room with Nixon and is basically giving him the run-down of information about the Russians. He gets a lot of dialog, actually.

Awesome, Joshin! I did that with The Dark Knight last year but I wasn't prepared to do it again. It's tough getting to bed at 1 or 2 in the morning and then getting up for work the same morning at 5:20am. Oh well. Was anyone dressed up at that premiere?

Garry had more dialogue than I anticipated, yesss. It was refreshingly a lot more than his tiny role in Eight Below. He had another scene later in the movie but it was more focused on Nixon and another guy; I saw him at the corner of the screen.

Haven't read the GN yet, but I plan on getting it one day.

Me too, guruhamboy. Hope you enjoy the movie!

I hope to see Watchmen soon and now I know where to spot Garry,horray.

I also heard that another TF Voice Actor is also in it as well...Alessandro Juliani as a technician(So his role is really small)so I will try my heardest to spot Nightscream in that Movie.

I will be squeeing with glee...

Me too, guruhamboy. Hope you enjoy the movie!

Seen it now, and it was great.

The idea of it not appealing to an audience who haven't read the source material is nonsense - doesn't apply to me anyway.

Gary was a nice suprise in it. I slightly geeked when I saw him lol.

memememememe! I wasn't expecting it either. I just sitting back in my seat until I saw a flash of him. At first I thought it was my imagination as I perked up and sat up straighter. And then they show him again talking!

I was squirming in my seat in happiness doing everything I can to NOT let out a fangirl scream. Thank goodness it was a school day because that theater was empty.

Jason took me to see it, even though most of it confused me. But it was good.

[MaxG]

I spotted him too
