    Is that great?

    uhm
    OK.

    I can't see the point at all.
    And I though the three covers ("collect them ALL!") for Williams' Attack Of The Clones was bad...

    But you must admit, if you really liked Watchmen and soundtrack music it would be a must by.

    Guess what?
    I really, really, really like Watchmen, and I really, really, really like soundtracks... and I'm really, really, really not even remotely interested in buying this. smile

    It really seems like a crock: the same fourteen -not too interesting to begin with- tracks repeated on SEVEN disks on VINYL? What on earth is the POINT?
    This just screams "made to be collectible" out at me, and that kind of cynicism annoys me deeply.

    Then don't buy it. As you said, it IS made to be collectible...if you don't want it, don't get it. wink

    Did I give the impression I was on the fence about buying it? wink

    You read the "Food, food, food" thread and consequently were feeling particularly antagonistic towards me?

    I think I was subconsciously avoiding the Now Playing and My Composition threads that have each got over 300 unread posts in the last three days. Anything else I find here is a bonus. biggrin

    I can see where that might be...intimidating.

    I get the impression with Watchmen that you need to be familiar with this particular universe to really get into the movie: it seems less accessible than other comicbook things?

    Hard to say? Depends on exactly what approach the film makers take I suppose?

    It may be harder for me to watch it objectively as I may mentally fill in gaps that the film makers have left out!?

    It's another publicity stunt. Personally, it doesn't disturb me the slightest 'cause i am not remotely interested to hear this score, but i can understand that there IS a limited amount of people to whom this franchise is targeted at, who'll probably rush and buy this kind of stuff. I haven't got a problem with that, after all companies are after money and this isn't any different than the special editions of the dark knight score, for instance.

    But it amuses me; i am restraining my final judgment 'till i listen to the score eventually, as i have - sadly :sigh: done in the past with all the Bates, Haslinger, Djawadi etc scores. However, i still have a strong believe that all this money will be wasted through expensive commercial strategies on a score that should have never been released in the first place

    Shouldn't be: it's simply our Universe with some slightly dystopic changes that shopuld become very clear to the viewer (as they are actually the main plot points).

    I am interested on the movie though; i like the director's work so far, so thanks for the info on the comic. I am unfamiliar with it.
