@The Sentient Mustard His personality also really shines through when he's talking about the NWA and his love for wrestling. It's almost odd seeing one of my childhood rock icons as a wrestling promoter, because I grew up a huge wrestling fan as well, but there's something about him when he's talking about that stuff that's similar to here. Much more laid back and down to earth compared to his "biggest band in the world" persona a lot of people are probably familiar with. We all know the bad stuff that's been said about him being egotistical and hard to work with or whatever, but I'll always love the guy in spite of that, because he is human, and this clip was kind of heart-warming seeing him just casually talk about the past without worrying about a ton of camera and media attention.

I'm still thankfull to Batman & Robin for making the eleven years old me discover the Pumpkins, along with '89 and Forever those were my first CDs ever and I still have nothing but love for them. Also while agree on everything he said about "The Beginning is The End is The Beginning" being underrated and yet part of one of the greatest trailer of all time, I disagree on the movie, Watchmen was awesome, not as perfect as the graphic novel, but as close as you can get for such a direct transposition and complexity of the story (300 & Sin City were more faithful adaptations but the plot was also much easier to condense in a movie). That said, even if The Beginning is The End was always my favourite of the two, The End is The Beginning has probably one of my all time break in music, at about 2:40 in it slows down for thirty seconds of pure musical beauty.... And I admit I almost broke my mother's stereo as a child rewinding the track just to relisten to that part... xD!

I was a fan of watchmen before the movie came out. I was blown away by the first trailer but the movie as a whole is at best a misunderstood masterpiece. 2 big mistakes 1: Matthew Goode as Veidt/Ozymandias- He was nothing like the comic book counterpart, Veidt was supposed to be a very warm positive guy at the start and when he turned it was a shocking revelation. But Goode played him really odd and oily, and added that dopey German accent just because the characters parents immigrated as a child. And the costume was just good awful and Matthew Goode was severely anemic looking when Adrian Veidt was a built, muscular and chiseled guy. And number 2 the lack of the squid: why? Why blame it on Manhattan for? It took away from the whole paranoia of the story to just simply say oh it was because of dr Manhattan and not leave in the core mystery. I really hated that Snyder didn’t leave the philosophical discussion between Manhattan and Veidt: nothing ever ends is so iconic instead that nonsense of Veidt getting his arse kicked by night owl. That wasn’t the point Moore was making, Snyder was just smashing toys together but Moore was showing us the moral ambiguity of Veidts crime. I still enjoy the movie but it would have worked so much better as a long form multi season hbo or Cinemax show
