Alan Moore Does Not Sleep. He Waits.

Watchmen Quotes: Minutemen Quotes, General Quotes
Note: This covers the Minutemen, and all the other random crap that didn't fit into any other category. Tomorrow is Rorschach, Part II (which may require as many as 4 parts, because I HAVE TOO MUCH). So. Yes, enjoy. PS Mothman was the bestest of the Minutemen. PPSS Nite Owl's short shorts are amazing.

Comic
* Janey Slater: Some things, once they're busted, they can't ever be fixed.

* Big Figure: You're alone in the valley of the shadow, Rorschach, where your past has a long reach, and between you and it there's one crummy lock. Think about it.

* Dr. Malcolm Long: I looked at the Rorschach blot. I tried to pretend it looked like a spreading tree, shadows pooled beneath it, but it didn’t. It looked more like a dead cat I once found, the fat, glistening grubs writhing blindly, squirming over each other, frantically tunneling away from the light. But even that is avoiding the real horror. The horror is this: In the end, it is simply a picture of empty meaningless blackness. We are alone. There is nothing else.

* Detective Steve Fine: Hello? Yeah, Detective Fine speaking. A tip? Sure. What's your name...? No name, huh? Okay, that's acceptable. So what do you have? Raw what? Did you just say "shark"? Raw shark? Why should I want to know where to find... raw shark. Okay. Yeah, I know who we're talking about. Now where...? Okay. Got that. When will he be there? Is he...? Yeah. Understood. We're on our way. 'Bye.

* I never said, "The superman exists, and he's American." What I said was,"God exists, and he's American."

* No, I don't… Well, let me say this, for me, it was never a sex thing. It was a money thing. And I think for some people it was a fame thing, and for a tiny few, God bless 'em, I think it was a goodness thing. I mean, I'm not saying it wasn't a sex thing for some people, but, no, no, I wouldn't say that's what motivated the majority…

I actually couldn't find any movie quotes that weren't already in the comic, and better. Anyway, IMAGES. Some are Minutemen, some are just Watchmen, and ALL are WONDERFUL:






WHY was this not meant to be?! WHHHYYYY?! *Cries for Hollis and his Short Shorts*

















I know that I already HAD Veidt day, but this is so funny and he is so damn CROSS and MIFFED in this picture that I do not care.


This video may have made me cry. Or throw up. Or start a new religion. I admit to NOTHING.


This may be the funniest site ever devoted to Watchmen. And it's got NOTHING - no fancy karate gimmicks. It just has HILARIOUSOSITY. Yeah, I invented a new word JUST for this site. I went there.

This MORE than makes up for the Suck of my Silk Spectre post. I deserve cookies. And full points. And Russell Brand. Now.

More later.

Gravity Only Affects Alan Moore For Six Hours Out Of Every Day.

Watchmen Quotes: Silk Spectre II Quotes
Note: I have like NOTHING on Laurie. I looked, I really did. Nobody feels the need to be all crazy about her, because she is fairly sane and BORING. I don't dislike her. By default I dislike her, because I like so many of the other characters so much more, but on her own she's a pretty cool chick. Anyway, I'd probably want to knife her if she liked Rorschach, so maybe that's for the best. Here is all I could find on Laurie. I'm sorry, Fans of Laurie, but I DID MY BEST.

Comic
* Oh shit. I'm on Mars.

Movie
* I am not afraid.

* Rorschach: Need to visit men's room.
Laurie: Oh, Christ!

I know, I know. BUT THIS IS EVERYTHING. THIS IS IT. STOP GLARING. HERE ARE SOME PICTURES, OK?!











I'm just saying, if you guys had sent me some images/quotes, this post wouldn't be so TRAGICALLY short. It's YOUR fault, not MINE. Rorschach said so. And if you disagree, that little ginger vigilante will KNIFE you.

Also, never go to a comic book store on Magic: The Gathering Game Day. Just don't. Trust me.

Anyway, next Watchmen post (possibly today, because I am GUILT-RIDDEN about the size of this post, see what you do to me?) will be Minutemen/everything else I couldn't categorize, then another Rorschach post of JOY.

Also, does anyone know how to get into writing comics? NOT THAT I AM FOOLISH ENOUGH TO THINK I COULD DO THAT. My friend wants to know. Yes.

Alan Moore's First Job Was As A Paperboy. There Were No Survivors.

Watchmen Quotes: Ozymandias Quotes

Note: Why do I blame this character for what happens at the end of the comic that I CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT, instead of Osterman? As I told my friend who probably didn't really care: "I blame the man who pulls the trigger, not the gun itself." I sounded profound.

But I do start to feel bad for Veidt, especially in the context of Tales Of The Black Freighter, which HE SHOULD HAVE READ BEFORE GOING ALL- OK. Here are some Adrian Veidt quotes, for those of you who love him:

Comic
* An intractable problem can only be resolved by stepping beyond conventional solutions.

* Do it? Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago. One of the BEST pwnage moments in history.

* No, I don't mind being the smartest man in the world. I just wish it wasn't this one.

Movie
* We can do so much more. We can save this world... with the right leadership.

* Well, it was unprecedented. I wanted... needed to match his accomplishments, and so I resolved to apply antiquity's teaching to our world, today. And so began my path to conquest. Conquest not of men, but of the evils that beset them.

* What, in life, does not deserve celebrating?

* Dan. A world united in a peace... there had to be sacrifices.

* I've saved the Earth from hell.

* I've made myself feel every death... see every innocent face I've murdered to save humanity.

* Dan? Grow up.

There aren't many Veidt quotes, are there? So, because he is rather fabulous in a MURDERING way, here are some funny Ozymandias images I have found in my wanderings, for you people. I made none of these. I have no artistic talent WHATSOEVER. If you want credit, let me know and it shall be given:

Well, I feel decadent and pampered and soft now. Too much Ozymandias for my taste. But I hope you Ozy fans enjoyed this.

Tomorrow: Nite Owl II Quotes, images, and more goodness!
