Yeah, detail's definitely part of the Watchmen experience
I'm not against the hookshot/ grappling gun but…
1. The Dark Knight.
2. I think Rorschach painstakingly climbed his way to the window in the novel hahaha but hey if they have a reason to cut useless scenes, then why not

Man, I wonder how long it took to just include all these little details into the movie, like Veidt on the cover of Forbes and all the newspapers protected by glass. Damn this going to be stunning…..

I would just like to say thanks to Alex and firstshowing.net for their great coverage. They had this up before the Watchmenmovie site did. Now that is great coverage.

In making Alien and especially Blade Runner, Ridley Scott referred to a realism technique
he called LAYERING, which basically refers to including as set dressing the accumulated
detritus that makes a scene look real. Newspapers and magazines lying aroung, signs in
store windows, trash blowing down the street, etc. I would say this is particularly important
in films with urban settings.
It looks like Snyder, to his credit, is striving for both realism and fidelity to the graphic novel.
The visual aspect of the movie is obviously going to be spectacular. What about the many
complex concepts Moore included and the narrative drive? How are these going to be reasonably
attended to in a 2 +1/2 hour film? the ellipses? the nihilism? That's what I want to know more about.
