Jonathan Ross' thoughts on the Watchmen film

Jonathan Ross has been talking about Watchmen over on Twitter. As you all know he is a huge Watchmen fan and loves his movies. This is what he has had to say about Zack Snyder's film (it's a selection of his Tweets so may be a bit disjointed.

So we saw Watchman last night. Apologies for not tweeting after - was a
late night by our standards !

Watchman probably the most faitful adaptation of a comic to the big
screen. Ending changed very much for the better.

Great sets, costumes, special effects - Rorshach especially
good.

Downside - too long, too reverential, lacks pace and feels a little
dull at times. In short - I love it and at same time am unimpressed !

Very graphic at times and then oddly crap at others ! Inconsistent.

Yes - too faithful. Would have been better to make it as a mini-series
if that was the intention.

Opening montage sequence to watchman just brilliant though. Had me
grinning from ear to ear.

In a way it's too long for the big screen but too short to really work.
better to be an hour longer, and pacier, or shorter.

Non comic fans will be a bit confused. Dara O Brian was there and he
said a lot of it went over his head.

The action beats are exactly as they occur in the novel. The problems
lie elsewhere. i'll go into it on Film 2009.

there was a super cool yellow carpet at the premiere with the blood splattered smiley face on it. IWOOT.

I also asked him whether the change in the ending worked and he said "Yes, better ending" which is some good news at least.

Simon Pegg chats with Jonathan Ross about Star Trek, How to Alienate People

Great interview. Pegg discusses Star Trek but is limited by the studios as to what he can say. He can't even do the scottish accent! They then discuss How to Lose Friends and Alienate People before disco dancing. They then go on to discuss the third in the Ice Cream and Armageddon trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and the forthcoming road movie, Paul, with Nick Frost. The interview is in two parts. Let me know what you think.
