Having now caught up on Watchmen (enjoying it), I feel annoyed that there has been so little discussion or even just acknowledgment of one of the most indelible TV moments of all time:

Re: OT: TV and Movies (with spoilers)
I finally got around to watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I would love to see what Tarantino could do with a screenwriter that can actually create a story with an arc. He's a great director and really good at dialog but the story side of things has always been kind of meh to me since his early work. And the use of voice over was just a bad idea. Figure out how to condense things, dude.
For a while I was thankful there would be no Mexican standoff in this one and then right near the end...he almost let me down. But to his credit, he did not. Way to go, Quentin! Speaking of the ending, I didn't hate it.

So Watchmen...
This was my first introduction to the material. Didn't read the book, didn't see the movie. I really enjoyed the season and the finale was satisfying for me although I didn't think it was their best episode. I'm assuming they'll do another season at some point. Seemed like they left enough open-ended stuff that they would have plenty of directions to go.

Watchman finale was awesome. That said, I have no clue where they go from here or whether it's even a good idea to do a 2nd season. My initial impression was that this would be a limited/mini-series, but I'm guessing with all the critical acclaim and popularity it's received, they're gonna go full Westworld with it.

I just read that Lindelof doesn't have an idea yet as to where it would go so it's probably going to be a while if it happens.

This is worrisome if true, and is almost always how great shows become mediocre.

If they go with another season I think they should go the anthology route and play around in a different setting, maybe a different time, completely different cast.

Thought it was a worthy follow-up to the comic given the very different voice and necessarily much smaller amount of new/original ideas. It was still a big story with big themes and came off really well, providing a worthwhile new perspective on the original and telling its own story beginning to end.
I don't think it's necessary to do more and I hope there's only more if it's similarly inspired. It's harder to imagine a direct extension of this totally contained story would be. But Regina King is great and I hope she'd be involved. Would be great to pull Redford out of retirement for a few scenes.

What was wrong with going The Godfather route and casting a younger guy to play a younger version of the character? And like The Godfather and Brando, the aged up stuff works but I don't think you can really de-age a 75 year old guy.
Yeah the biggest problem is you can't de-age the way he moves. Super distracting.
Deniro's old ass doing the WWE beat up of the grocer took me out of the movie for a good few minutes. How the **** does that survive editing?
I felt bad for DeNiro. I hope they got that in one take because it looked hard on him.
I watched the first hour and a half last night. It's just ok to me. I'll watch the rest but I'm not excited about it.
