Yeah , WISE , I agree with you on the whole Deacon Frost story, it has made for dvd written all over it. There are just too many problems that would come with making that movie, it sort of reminds me of the whole XMEN ORGINS : MAGNETO, thing. I mean I 've been reading comics since I was a Wee Lad back in Bean town and NEVER once has it occurred to me that Magneto would be a good stand alone movie, Hell his books dont even sell well when its just him on the cover. What makes them think that will work now. Deacon Frost was a character that was made to be killed and forgotten as he was in the first movie. If they want to do a spin off do a Night Stalker Movie and bring it alittle closer to the comics of course leave in Jessica Beil's character of Abby Whistler, (who cares if she's not in the books she is hot and kicks ass). It's got a lot more potential then Frost , Just leave Snipes out it .
However I do disagree with your take on Watchman, however your entitled to your Opinion., I think that the comic was not overhyped in fact many people did nt know what it was until all the movie hype kicked up , Unless you where a comic fan. Im not sure how old you are Wise but that book was a milestone in comic books , It was one of the first books to really deliver a mature story to the media (comics). It had engaging dialouge written at an adults level. It did nt pander to the kids it was a novel that was written in a comic book media. I mean there is a reason that it is on several must read lists of literature. I also believe that one of the main reasons it didn't do well at the box office is because someone out there thought that it was a super hero movie when its a ANTI HERO MOVIE. Its about anti establishment, its about rape, its about the tearing down of moral and justice its about the darkening of society and the people who use to defend it. I have own that series of books for over 2 decades and was pleased with 95% of that movie could have done with out the Giant blue cock , but to each there own im sure SWALLOWS liked it, j/k SWALLOWS. Its one of those things that gets me though, people scream that the directors dont stay faithful to the source material , well they did here for most parts and it got panned, I CRY FOUL, and I RAISE MY GLASS TO ZACK SYNDER FOR A WORK OF ART minus the giant blue cock . However I do agree I will be only getting one copy of it and that being the extended additon when it comes out








I guess I won't be buying the Watchmen dvd afterall, I'll wait for the ultimate super duper edition. I'm not a huge fan of this work anyway and will only buy multiple editions of films I really love not ones based on middle of the road overhyped comics
Isn't Dorff a bit too old to come back as Deacon or would he be the older Deacon telling his story and have him survived his presumed end in Blade. I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea but I'd definitely check it out.
Rob, you seem to be a little late with your piece today, too much partying over the weekend, maybe? 4th of July, you're excused :)
