Watchmen: long as hell and too much...

Exactly the reason this movie may bomb. A lot of people didn't read the comic and some may have read it but didn't get a understanding of it. This sounds like more of a big budget art house film(which I expected anyway). I'll be there Friday.

It may bomb completely.

There's no other competition at theaters at the moment and the promotional hype is sure to persuade kids and young adults to try to see this ASAP. Like I said before, it'll have a good opening weekend, but that's it. Don't expect everyone who sees it to go back and watch it again (The negative word of mouth is gonna be wild fire)

The big drop-off in the following weeks will hit it hard but, for real, it should pull in enough numbers on friday & saturday to start making it's money back.

What I'm really wondering if this is gonna be a death blow for R-rated comic/graphic novel flicks.

a homosexual.


pho⋅bi⋅a
   /ˈfoʊbiə/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [foh-bee-uh] Show IPA
–noun
a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.
Origin:
1780–90; extracted from nouns ending in -phobia

Synonyms:
aversion, hatred.

Okay now, the formal definition of homo has nothing to do with one's sexual preference yet the slang term does. Now a phobia is an extremely irrational fear of something, meaning if a faggot walks within 20 feet of a straight person, that individual would panic and run away. :hmm: This does not happen in real life.:hmm: The point I am trying to make is this particular term is/was coined by the gay rights movement to negatively label all people who show even show the slightest resistance to the homosexual lifestyle or null even the slightest criticism of people who accept and promote it. So in essence the term homo-phobia is just a slang term created by gays.

No such word as homophobic. Made up gay propaganda device to label anyone who disagrees with the lifestyle. Gays run hollywood so fuck them.
REAL TALK.
Its a term that implies empowerment on their part, as if everyone is afraid of them. :smh:
They use it the way some Jews use Anti-Semetic.

Thank you. Some one gets it. There is a difference between having an extreme fear of something and have an disagreement or not liking something.
 
Exactly the way blacks use "racist," right?

Don't even try to compare a sexual behavior with race. White Gays have not been denied access to the fruits of the country the way blacks have. The only thing they are asking for is the right to get married, THAT'S IT!!!!!!!:hmm:

Geez, I guess everyone has an agenda. :smh:

While we're going down this path, do us black people still have legit grievances? Or is that all a play on words too? :rolleyes:

This thread sure was alot less stupid when it focused on the Watchmen.
 
i guess no one read the books up in this thread.

his nudity was a major part of his story, his character.

he was beyond the nromal thinking of humans, beyond the petty rational of society.

he even duplicated himself once in an attempt to make his sex better for his woman, but she was pissed when she found out he'd actually tripled himself and was inhis lab at the same time.

:eek::eek::eek:

HOLY SHIT!!! TALK ABOUT MULTI-TASKING!!! WISH I COULD PULL THAT SHIT OFF!!!

Yes, some do. Many Jews misuse Anti-Semetic. I rarely if ever hear gays admit to their intentional false accusation of claims of "homophobia". Its a made-up misrepresentation in most cases.

Anti-Semetic has been misappropriated many times in the media before. I'm not saying there are no anti-Semetic people; I'm saying that its not ALWAYS the case when its been used. So YES, sometimes there's an agenda behind it. Homophobia is a falsehood in most cases. Its often an attempt to equate "disapproves of" with "scared of".
This is not a new topic on BGOL.
You are right - we should stick to the topic at hand. This is another thread.
Back to the movie...

Agreed. Anyway....... I'm looking forward to how this will turn out. I can't wait to see the full version on DVD in the fall.
