No, I don't mean that kind of premature! The comedian and sometime comic book writer weighs in on those that bash before they see--in particular all of those folks that were just so sure Watchmen was going to suck.
MTV have an interview with Oswalt(who many will recognize from King Of Queens) in which he follows up on this blog post from back before the movie was released...
“Zack Snyder STEPPED UP, motherf---ers, Watchmen was going to get made, one way or another. And instead of bleating on his Facebook status updates or Tweeting about how s---ty the upcoming adaptation's going to be, he TOOK THE BULLET and tried to do it right.”
Oswalt continued by saying that adaptations by nature cannot incorporate every single element from their source material. His advice to the nay-sayers who still don’t care for the film?
“Crack the tab on a frosty can of Go F--- Yourself and go see the movie,"
Indeed sir. Here is the follow up vid..
"Once the movie comes out and you have a feeling about your experience, that's fine. But I just got so, I guess, depressed," said Oswalt. "I am a big comic book fan. Are we always going to be represented as the people that rip into things before they see them and are proud to criticize things that we don't know anything about? Maybe Watchmen sucked for some people, maybe it was great for some people, but you can't sit there and pass judgment before the thing comes out. That's so sad."
"Even sports fans, which in a weird way are even more far gone than comic book fans, they don't sit there and say, 'Yeah, the Yankees are gonna suck this season. I haven't seen them play a single game and I've decided they're gonna suck,'" he explained. "Even they wouldn't have that arrogance. So that's all I was trying to point out. Have any opinion that you want. Don't go off about it before you've seen it."
Pretty dead on, I would say. There's nothing quite as annoying as listening to someone talk sh** about a movie that doesn't even have a trailer yet!
