Bad News for Nerd Part 8. Watchmen now officially sucks.
Snyder says:
“The squid was not in the movie when I got the script, the squid was never in any draft that I saw. My point is only that there was this elegant solution to the squid problem that I kind of embraced. I’m a fan of the thing as much as anyone, I was saying what are we going to do about this before I even read the script,” said Snyder. “The fans, god love ‘em, they’re all up in arms about the squid. What they should be up in arms about are things like shooting the pregnant woman, ‘God is real and he’s American’, whether THAT’s in the movie. That’s my point of view, maybe I’m crazy.”
Once again some hot-shot producer or script writer thinks he's better than the original writer. That's one thing I like about Neil Gaiman; he often times is directly involved in writing/working with adaptations of his works to the screen. It should be a law that the original writer should have at least 80% yes/no approval over their work.
I guess this shows in Hollywood: Those who can do, Those who cannot, direct Those who cannot direct, critique Those who cannot critique, become script writers.
