    Trying to cash in, obviously[^]. I wanted to hate the Watchmen show, I really did. Damn them for making such a great job of it.

    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

      spin off of a TV series? Or spin off of a true story? (even if the rendition is only true-ish) if the latter is true the former can't be.

      after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

          Based on the mediocre score, I don't believe the same could be said about this one.

            Bass was prominently featured in the Watchmen series, so this looks pretty much like a case of coat-tail hanging.

              5.2 on IMDB isn't exactly a glowing endorsement. OTOH - they started making westerns again? I thought that was a genre that was now frowned upon in Hollywood (for some reason unknown to me).

                It was made in haste with a relatively inexperienced director, so I imagine the script isn't up to much. I read a couple of articles about the guy, a few years back.  He must have been pretty remarkable. Note that I'd use the word "remarkable" for hollywood, too, but not in quite the same context.

                  "Remarkable" is a more neutral word than most people make it out to be. I've always taken it to mean that something is likely to have remarks made about it. It doesn't specify that said remarks are either positive or negative... :-)

                    I tend to use it in the self-fulfilling way: "I am remarking that this is remarkable because it's remarkable".
