By the way, sorry chewy. If you can somehow move the non-topical stuff somewhere else, it'd ease my mind.
Or I can simply rehash my opinion that anything less than a HBO miniseries of Watchmen would be a wasted and futile effort.

Aronofsky Ankles Watchmen
Director needed for comic book pic.
November 03, 2004 - Ain't It Cool News breaks the dispiriting news that director Darren Aronofsky has ankled Paramount Pictures' big-screen adaptation of Watchmen. The Requiem for a Dream filmmaker was long attached to helm the development hell-plagued feature adaptation of the classic Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons graphic novel.
The site claims that "the reason (Aronofsky) left involves timing issues. See, The Fountain is about to start principal photography. We're talking about a matter of days here. And I love The Fountain as a project. Paramount just couldn't wait, though. They want to have Watchmen in a theater by the summer of '06, no matter what. That means they need a filmmaker who can be ready to shoot long before Aronofsky would be ready. So the hunt is on."
AICN adds that the cast Aronofsky was mulling would have been "glorious." Past reports had Simon Pegg and John Cusack up for Rorschach and Nite Owl, respectively. There's no word yet on if David Hayter's script has also been jettisoned.
Found this blurb on Hollywood Reporter as being posted a couple weeks after the announcement of Aronofsky's leaving the project.

Greengrass, Par on Watchmen
Paul Greengrass, who directed "The Bourne Supremacy," is going to direct "The Watchmen" for Paramount Pictures. The project is based on the seminal DC Comics limited series of the same name, created by writer Alan Moore and artist Dave Gibbon and originally released in 1986 as a 12-issue comic book. Darren Aronofsky had been attached to direct but bowed out because of scheduling conflicts. Aronofsky is shooting "The Fountain," starring Hugh Jackson. David Hayter has written the screenplay for "The Watchmen," which Paramount was eager to put into production. With Greengrass aboard, the project is now eyeing a possible 2006 release date. (Borys Kit and Liza Foreman)
I've not seen The Bourne Supremacy yet... or any of the other films this guy has directed, for that matter. Anyone who's seen anything of his care to enlighten me as to what his style/ability is? Do you think he can pull this off?

From IGN.FilmForce Quote:
February 28, 2005 - IGN FilmForce investigated the possibility that one of director Paul Greengrass' Bourne Supremacy cast members might reunite with him on his next film, Watchmen, and we've come up with some curious albeit inconclusive results.
We heard a rumor that Oscar-nominated actress Joan Allen – who appeared in The Bourne Supremacy as shady government operative Pamela Landy – might portray Sally Jupiter (a.k.a. The Silk Spectre I) in Watchmen.
For those unfamiliar with the Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comic book, Sally Juspeczyk (she later changed her surname to Jupiter) was the mother of Laurie Jupiter. Both women fought crime under the guise of The Silk Spectre. Sally's relationship with the slain Comedian (Edward Blake) is a key subplot in both the comic and the screenplay adaptation by David Hayter.
Sally's role in the draft I read was significantly diminished from what it had been in the comic but she was nevertheless important. Sally appeared in roughly a half dozen scenes.
IGN FilmForce's e-mail inquiries to Allen's reps at ICM and her publicist at PMK/HBH went unanswered. A rep at ICM refused comment on the matter when reached by phone.
The 48-year-old Allen's credits include Face/Off, The Notebook, The Contender and The Upside of Anger.
Watchmen aims to begin filming this summer in Britain for a 2006 release.

I giving Watchmen another try. I read that Alan Moore is a Ayn Rand fan and puts a lot of her philosophy in his comics. Its supposed to be really evident in Watchmen.
Edited because of my stupidity.

I'm sorry, I meant Allen Moore. Both of them are fans. I just got their names mixed up.

It's got Nite-Owl, and Nite-Owl II's costume looks a lot like Owl-Man's, and Owl-Man is The Bat-Man's anti-matter version, and The Bat-Man stars in Dark Knight Returns, and Dark Knight Returns is Miller's best work.

I'm sure you realize there is this stereotype of conservatives as being anti-intellectualism. In that context, isn't the designation "Intellectual" moreso a kind of partisan movement as opposed to an actual summation of a person's intellect? Just because you dub your group "Pragmatists" or "Intellectuals" that doesn't necessarily make you pragmatic or intelligent.

Anyone who's seen anything of his care to enlighten me as to what his style/ability is? Keep some dramamine handy. You're gonna need it. Or, as ABBA would say (just to piss off whichever one of you hates ABBA with a passion hotter than the hottest flames of hell - I know at least one of you does...) "You can watch, you can jive, having the time of your life See that film, watch that scene, take some dramamine" I can't think of anything Moore to say about what Greengrass is gonna do with "Watchmen" than that.

Anyways, I was mainly responding to a question about Greengrass's directing style. But I'll refrain from making comments that are snyder than that.
