Alan Moore, I weep for thee (NVGR)
solidgoomba \| 12:02 AM on 02.06.2009	23 comments

A few months back I posted some screen shots from the upcoming Watchman game and expressed my displeasure in seeing Alan Moore's work bent over the table and pumped for all its worth, well I find that my faith in Watchmen being a decent movie has been dealt another serious blow. And it's thanks to the following song being included on the soundtrack, while I felt the Smashing Pumpkins song with the announcement trailer was a appropriate I have to wonder about the rest of the choices in music after seeing this:

My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row

That's right --- a cover of a Bob Dylan song by fucking My Chemical Romance. I pray this isn't an indicator of the quality of music that will be in the film. Well, at least if it turns out to be crap I can't say I got my hopes up.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

The rest of the soundtrack actually looks promising... Here.

Samit Sarkar

I've seen the Watchmen game, but I can't say anything about it until next Tuesday.

SnakeDude4Life

10. All Along the Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix
EPIC FUCKING WIN!!!!!!!!!!

TheCleaningGuy

Maybe, just maybe,

-SPOILERS MAYBE-

The giant octopus alien thing will show up and eliminate them before the movie ends.

aborto thefetus

FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO AGREES WITH ME THAT THE WATCHMEN MOVIE IS GOING TO BE GARBAGE!

I was actually just going to write about this. I can't describe to you how fucking pissed I was when I heard about this.

This shit just keeps getting worse.

Alan Moore is a nut job. A genius nut job.

Also, the song wasn't bad. A bit bland, but not bad.

I guess we have to hate it because it's "emo." I forgot we're in a holy war with that shit.

*sigh*

Music elitism...

aborto thefetus

@thecleaningguy

They cut the squid alien out. That is reason #12856 why this movie will suck.

And I am serious about that. They did cut that out. Zach Snyder confirmed it.

Bleach Boy

I thought the cover was pretty alright. Waaaaaaaaaaaay better then their actual songs though.

Kyousuke Nanbu

Well they needed to cut something, Watchmen is a 12 issue 400 page monolith.

I'm gonna watch it, at least it looks like its gonna follow the story a bit better than say League of Extrodinary Gentlemen.

Christ, comic book fans are such a whiny lot.

Gyro

Comic book fans are quite the selective bunch, and I list myself amongst that group, but for good reason. We can't go out and buy every publication that comes out each month, Bill Gates alone has the megalithic budget to feed his nerdery as he wishes. As for Watchmen, it's like the Holy Arc of the Covenant to us comic and graphic novel fans, so we're all going to be touchy whenever someone pokes this magnum opus with the edit stick. At least we aren't crying because there weren't enough elves, like some LoTR fans...

vexed alex

@ Gyro

Yes, but this movie isn't going to rip the book out of your hands.

Rucksack

Wait...why do we hate My Chemical Romance again?

I think that they're a really descent pop-rock band.

Anus Mcphanus

@Rucksack:
Apparently it's still cool to hate them because they are "emo" I guess. I actually really like them but this cover ain't all that. As vexed alex said this song is pretty bland and I can't really see how this song will fit the tone of the movie.

I'm still excited for the Watchmen movie but I can understand why fans are pissed off with it. I'll withhold judgment until I actually see it though.

liam2015

Oh what the fuck.

That is the worst cover of Desolation Row I have ever heard.

I almost completely agree with you on this, because I actually think the movie itself might be good, but I'll still nitpick about everything they do wwrong.

@vexed
It's not that we hate them, it's just Desolation Row (the original song by Bob Dylan) is an incredible song, and this cover tramples all over it. But I'm really just speaking for myself here.

leftoversmack

I've always had a soft spot for MCR. Probably because they actually have influences in punk unlike their 'emo' peers. With influences like Black Flag and the misfits I can't help but respect them.

RonBurgandy2010

Ok, the song sucks. But I think it may be the song that plays in the club Rorschach goes to near the beginning of the book to get some information on The Comedian's murder. You know, the one with all the punk looking dudes where he breaks someone's finger?

And Rage's cover of Dylan's Maggie's Farm is fucking incredible.

Endstiem

The song was a decent pop-punk cover.... not great, but not shit. Perfect soundtrack material.

Daxelman

I like a couple of MCR's songs, other wise,

I stick to my Nine Inch Nails, my Oh No's, and my Daft Punk's, as well as a few others.

Usedtabe

@Aborto: they took out the squid-monster alien? WTF! I had some hope for this movie, but if they did remove one of the giant plot pieces as you say, this movie is fucked.

Garbz

last time i checked on this zack snyder did indeed confirm no alien squid monster but alluded to something involving a nuclear attack based around dr manhattens powers.

either way, i remember readign numerous reports of test screenings featuring one version with squid and one without.

im hoping the big uncut, tales of the black freighter included, 3 hour dvd version snyder has promised me will include all the squiddy goodness i desire.

ontopic: i dont hate my chemical romance but by god did that song suck.

nukka jdav

Whatever, a movie was going to be made eventually. It will be fun if you go in expecting it to be just that, fun.

Turn off your brains and just enjoy seeing Rorshach in motion. Watchmen was/is a fucking incredible novel, but theres no reason to hate on the movie from the outset. Watch it, then make an opinion. See how it stands on its own.
