Nah, I honestly didn't hold much hopes for the movie. Maybe a mini-series would've cut it, but Watchmen just seemed too "big stuff" for a movie.
And it would have ensued more crankiness from Alan Moore.

Indeed. It's a parody of a church hymn written about John Brown, a fiery abolitionist and preacher. He was from Kansas and started a slave rebellion around the time of the Civil War.

Now the whole comic should make sense to you. :)

Oooooh. I see.

So.
Hmm.
Just done reading the last chapter of "Watchmen". Quite the amount of whoop-ass I was expecting. I'm breath-taken. I can't talk.

You've already asked that. SPAMMER! SPAMMER!

Um, anyways, I'd say it's simply because Internet is getting cheaper and more accesible on those countries. It's like most luxuries: It takes a while to be massively introduced into certain nations. Take TV, for example. Don't know about the US, but in Chile it wasn't accesible for most of the population until 1962, when the Worls Soccer Cup was the excuse to put the thing in the market by hundreds of thousands.
Same thing with Internet. Globalization, baby.

Hmmm... well, going back to the more "domestical" aspect of this, what altanese said at her first post about the hypothetical possibility of creating a Big-Bang reminded me of this, and also this, by association. It's not immediately related to Quantum Physics, but if you're whacky enough to believe what those pages say, it helps to form an idea of how these things affect us in, say, more direct approaches (i.e. Impending Doom).

I would be into drugs if it wasn't because the real world is boring and dealers are not peculiar characters like in the movies. They're just creepy and sell stuff. No redneck with no nose, no Trainspotting-like blokes, just boring people. Therefore, everything else in this world is boring, ergo, drugs are boring, too.

Meeh. Moore complained about the directors not getting the "breakfast that british people eat" right. I think he's just being cranky. He has a reason for it, sure, but I doubt it's going to be THAT crappy. I mean, the Wachowskies are comic-book geeks. SOMETHING good comes from that. Take Hellboy, for example. They forgot to write a plot for the goddamn thing, but, visually speaking, it was eye-appealing. And Robert Rodriguez seems to be much less of a comic-geek than the Wachowskies. So as long as V doesn't drop cheesy one-liners and doesn't go all bullet-proof on some one-dimensional Nazi dictator with an overworked pseudo-british accent and has an ethnical minority sidekick, I'll be at the cinema watching that.

Ummm... anyways. So, I've just been reading "V for Vendetta". A lot. I'm already on Volume IV. Alan Moore is a bearded creepy british genius. And I've heard they're making a movie out of this particular one. I don't know what to think, really. Moore's work has somewhat been repeatedly raped in the big screen, but who knows, maybe this one's gonna be different.

So, um, V for Vendetta kicks a lot of masked, cloaked, Shakespeare-quoting asses. Or not.

The Spanish got to mix with the Natives much more than the British. Or the French (although, There's tons of French blooded folk still living in middle of Mexico-- mostly in little pueblitos and all...)

But the British did mix more with the Blacks.
While there is a lot of Black blood in Latinos, this is mostly in Cuba and Brazil.

Hmm... True, and, at the same time, not quite. It's true that most afro-latinos are in the Caribbean nations, and Brazil, but there's a lot of black blood in other countries as well, it's just that blacks didn't "survive" as a "pure" race, so to speak. Keep in mind that African slaves were pretty much trading stock for the Spaniards back at the time, so it's just safe to assume that there would be fewer black slaves at the poorer colonies. Now, the nations in the Caribbean made a good penny compared to their size, and so did Brazil (But Brazil was a portuguese colony, so I'm not sure if it counts or not). Same thing with Peru, and yes, peruvians are generally dark-skinned, if not nearly to the point of "looking like black people". Now, the nations that are slightly "whiter", Chile and Argentina, while relatively poorer than other colonies back then, still have black blood, but merely as another ingredient of their mestizaje.

But Latin America is odd.

I can second that.

Argintinians look like white people. Infact, El Che had an Irish grandmother.

True. Argentinians are definitely the whitest in Latin America. Then again, 70% of the Argentinians I've heard of have an Italian last name. Also, keep in mind, and as far as I know this applies to every nation in Latin America, white people (and whiteish mestizos) are mainly upper class. Down with whitey! Rar! >:O

Mexico can be generalized like this: Noth-- mostly white. South-- mostly dark.

Didn't know about that, but yeah, I guess it's logical, in a way.

Peru is mostly dark skinned, I imagine.

Yyyup. Not the most dark-skinned, I think. But they're more homogeneous, you know, they're more of a single race, with little variations. It's the same thing that happens here in Chile, but we've got just slightly more fair skin.

Guess we got to write up the pshycology of Mestizos one day.

Yeah. After I fail at whatever I choose to do for a living, I'll go deep into that.

But I don't fit the profile cause certain facial features-- my broad nose and rounder face. Caucasians tend to have less round faces, and narrower noses. (generally)

Ethnical identity is a bitch when you come from a country with over 80% mestizos, I know. =/

My mother's pretty much 100% Arabic, racially speaking, although she doesn't really look arabic. My father is... well, on the relatively "white" end of mestizaje. I guess he's somewhere in the middle of your average Latin person and your average white, black-haired person. With a beard. But he actually looks more Arabic than my mother, which is weird. I pretty much look like a white person with a broad nose.

Anyways, now that we're talking about races and stuff, anyone of you Americans/Canadians/Blue-Eyed Demons has any idea of why the mixture of natives and europeans didn't happen in the British colonies as much as it did inside the Spanish ones? Other than "the spaniards are horny lol"?

I agree, Kill Bill's the worst of Tarantino so far, but, in my book, it still qualifies as "quite goddamn good". Not "outstandingly quite goddamn good", just, y'know, "quite goddamn good". Or maybe just "quite damn good". I liked vol. 1 rather than vol. 2, though.

Also, I don't really know if 'Hero' counts as his work. As far as I know, that was just "Quentin Tarantino Presents". Y'know, like in the distribution. Don't really know if he had anything to do in the creative aspect of the movie.

I hate Jet Li. He should be banned from 'acting' (or whatever the fuck he does, when he's suppossed to be acting).

But Jet Li kicks ass. No, seriously, he does. Literally. Watch "Romeo must Die".(Worst. Title. Ever.)
Actors that can actually act are SO 20th century.
