So - where IS the GIGLI review? It still doesn't seem to be out.... Did it finally take you all out, for keeps?

THE DYKE AND THE DILDO? BENNIFER FALLS? THE GANGSTERS AND THE RETARD? WHY DOES MARTIN BREST HAVE A CAREER?

Can somebody explain to Zack Snyder's publicist that "visionary" does *not* equal "excessively visual", please? WATCHMEN is an overdesigned heaping pile of CGI and film speed trickery based on Alan Moore's classic graphic novel that *seems* faithful to it at first glance, but manages to sentimentalize and cheapen Moore's dark point by presenting the amoral Comedian as some kind of off-kilter moral compass (though maybe that's due to Jeffery Dean Morgan's portrayal), making Ozymandius a generic giggling psychopath rather than an extremely intelligent man who does the worst possible thing for the best possible reason (and fears it's still not enough), and reduces the climactic act to The (figurative) Crucifixion Of One Great Man rather than Moore's blackly humorous take on THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING! While I'm not one of those graphic novel fanbois who drool at the "genius" of Moore or Frank Miller no matter what they produce, and I thought the WATCHMEN graphic novel ultimately painted itself into a corner, it was still leaps and bounds better than the film version.

And absolutely worth reviewing, as a film that's either brilliant or a complete PoS, depending on what frame of mind you're in when you see it.

Okay - I'll bite. How's this...? Chev Chellios awakens in the desert with a green ring on his finger, and some weird alien-looking dying dude telling him he is the New Green Lantern of Sector 2814, chosen because he is clearly without fear, and he should use his powers wis - And Abin Sur gets cut off as Chev blasts into the stratosphere, destroying half the desert in the process, and spends the next ninety minutes using his Power Ring to waste everybody who ever fucked with him in the first two movies, along with most of the West Coast! (Having listened to the show, I'm presuming "F-bombs" are acceptable.) Gotta admit, it'd be better than that overpriced piece of CGI garbage starring Ryan Reynolds....
