Veidt's also the only guy who could believably fund such a thing. The only other guy I'd have bought doing anything of this magnitude was Manhattan. But then that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Nonsense, Rorschach had plenty of pocket change to finance such a project. I do wonder, though, what he DOES to earn money? In the comic, there's a tiny bit about his landlady bitching at him for rent and hygiene issues. This means that Rorschach has an apartment, has a normal bed he sleeps in (not a damp alley full of carboard boxes) and is "normal" enough to function in society....so what does he do for cash? Does he take it off of the muggers/scum that he kills? Even then, it wouldn't be enough to support an apartment, unless the muggers in that city are LOADED.

Saw it last night and, yes I liked it, altered ending and all. Guess I'll have to check out the graphic novel to see what the fuss is about this changed ending. Still, liked it, it was awesome.

Saw it yesterday, a tiny bit too much naked electric blue penis for my tastes.
Also, f*** whomever did that cover of Desolation Row during the credits.

I think this movie should get a nod for costume design at next years Oscars. If it doesn't I will be let down. I thought the costumes were great.

/\ it coulda been worse giant. tentacled. vagina. But there would have been less giant tentacled Vagina than Blue Penis. At least from what I remember of the graphic novel.

The media at large and Hollywood in particular have so sheltered us in America from the sight of our own bodies that seeing penis shocks the hell out of everyone. Even more so than seeing a man catch a cleaver with his forehead eight or nine times. THAT is what baffles me. Kill a pregnant woman? Meh. Kill two dogs and cleaver a man to death? Oh well. Break arms and legs quite graphically? Whatever. But show them a dick and they go....... OH MY GOD IT'S A PENIS! AAAAAAH! SAVE ME, OH GREAT SPIRIT OF JACK VALENTI!!!! ;D

After awhile, I didn't even realize he was naked anymore.. I mean sure I knew, but stopped noticing. Just nudity, but yeah I heard about 'giant blue dong' from other people as well.
