Just finished watching it last night. I was kind of hesitant on buying it. After seeing it twice the theater I thought it would start to get old. Not True. Wow. Looks fantastic, and sounds even better. Some of the additional footage that is on the director's cut really shines. I especially liked it when Rorshack stops Nite Owl from killing a thug.
Rorshacks words to Nite Owl "Not in front of the civilians".

OF course he's also indicating that if no one were around it would be perfectly alright if the thug was destroyed.
Great film

My Blu0ray copy should be through my door any day now. Looking forward to seeing the Director's Cut. Again in the UK we get ripped off with only the standard version being released, and people I know wonder why I import.

Saw this once at the cinema and am really looking forward to seeing it again. Rorschach is a brilliant character full of dark humour and even darker actions.

Haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list to rent soon.

Just got Freaks And Geeks for $28, so my weekend is full...

Great price. A brilliant short lived show that was on Friday nights. Kind of like Firefly.

HOLY CRAP BATMAN!!! The flick was AWESOME!!!With the exception of the kid reading the gross story, they pretty much made the graphic novel come alive!!
The movie had me squirming in all the right places.
A few notes: much has been said concerning the nudity- big deal. Blue CGI wee-wees don't bug me.
It was violent in the excess- the fingers-thing was icky, but otherwise I didn't see anything so shocking. A little disturbing, maybe.
3 hours never went by so fast.

And wasn't it nice of them to include a coupon for ten bucks off the next version of the movie coming out?
Seriously, though, I love this story, and the film is brilliant. I don't say that about many adaptations.

Just rented it last night - the "normal" widescreen version (no BluRay, no director's cut).

Pretty astonishing movie. I'm a bit surprised it ever got made. I loved it, my wife didn't much care for it. I'd watch it again.

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying Freaks and Geeks all over again. And yeah, at $28, I couldn't pass it up. It's one of those shows I've been looking for at a good price, and that was the cheapest I've ever seen it, so I jumped. I had good memories of it from when it was on NBC; I was amazed how accurately they were able to capture my senior year of high school (1980).

That extra 24 minutes in the director's cut makes quite a bit difference, character-fleshed-out wise.

Edit: Yeah, Freaks & Geeks kinda summed up my HS experience too.

It's not just an extra 24 minutes, there's also reworked dialog and scenes.

Oh no, the zombies killed god!
