Zack's Back Tat

Zack's Back Tat

A revealing interview with Watchmen helmer Zack Snyder where he exposes his penchant for violence in his films, and then his incredible back tattoo. Is that supposed to be Dr. Manhattan?

“I like when it goes all the way,” the heavily tattooed director explains just before Christmas, sitting in the production office he shares with his third wife and producing partner, Deborah Snyder, on the Warner Bros. lot. “And to me, a severed head spinning in the air is kind of funny. I get a laugh from that.”

I hope it's either not done and he's going to cover up the lighter parts, or at least getting them retouched, otherwise the stuff look ok, I like the center part a lot. That's great he said that if Lucas asked him to do a star wars movie he wouldn't be able to say no. How awesome would a Snyder star wars movie be, seriously, I think I'd become a huge star wars fan again.

Yea I have plenty of tattoos and unless he's a big puss that isn't going back to get it finished, then this is definitely just an outline. If I were him I wouldn't have shown this off for the world to see until it was finished, because I personally think its a little poopy... That being said, hope the movie is great, got the ticket in my back pocket for 12:05. Very pumped.

Just saw Watchman. Movie was awesome!!!! The guy did a good job. Doc Manhattan is great, Rorschach impeccable, Oz kinda gay, Silk and the other dude are soooooo funny! But man, the movie is gory, a lot of blood.

A Snyder Star Wars movie! That would be too good for words! Come on George, ask the man! Lets face it, you have no new ideas so need to milk your old franchises for everything and you've proven you can't piece together a decent film.

OK, maybe harsh. Revenge of the Sith was alright until the Hammer Horror Frankenstein "Noooo!" as Vader wobbled out of his restraints. Other than that? Shit after shit! Time to hand over the baton!

Who gives a shit about his tattoos? How does him "revealing" a tattoo have anything to do with comic book movies? The movie was just ok.
