One last stab at Watchmen before I see it, and hopefully get a review out. Here's Alan Moore narrating Rorschach's journal. Unfortunately Jackie Earle Haley's interpretation seems to have gotten stuck somewhere between Clint growl, and Bale's Batman sneer. Never mind. The author's reading is alive with prowling, despondent, psychosis. I wonder how much of this will be used in the film? It's wonderfully punishing to listen to. If you're not completely selling the character as deeply damaged, as Moore is here, the word tumbling could come off as a sixth form stab at hard boiled 'tec talk.
Best as I can tell, the images are from the recent minimalist animation Motion Comic piece, chatter sourced from The Mindscape of Alan Moore documentary.
Too bad Rorchach isn't a wanker from across the pond. Maybe Moore forgot that bit?
