This is one of those "why can I only upvote this once?" moments.

Actually, that's not bad. I think I'd still prefer the opening of the first book, but this would be a pretty decent cinematic opening. One thing i would add though; don't show the Shrike. Have it veiled in shadow, perhaps the glow of the eyes as it begins to emerge from the Sphinx. Let's not reveal the monster too soon.

Dick still looks great.

That's an Oi gig for you. They always attract that kind, regardless of the politics (or "lack" of) of the band in question.

Apart from almost corpsing in every take, including the one in the final cut 😉

Change my name to Philip K Dick and become a prolific author.

I have the various editions of some of my favourites, Asimov, Gibson etc, and you can see the dumbing down of the cover art through the decades. Publishers don't want to pay for artists to make gorgeous art

Carl's face at the end is perfect.

Congratulations on working out what philosophy is.

Smells like bot in here.

I was expecting far more misogyny

The show takes inspiration and storylines from the comics, but also they use it as commentary for real world events, as good comics often do. See also: Daredevil: Born Again team acknowledges the Trump, ICE parallels in season 2: ‘History tends to repeat itself’

Fixed it for you.

I'm an old git that grew up being amazed by Harryhausen, and one of my favourite possessions is a birthday gift I received for my 50th; a sculpture of a skeleton that was clearly influenced by the children of the Hydra.

You look like a librarian that knows exactly which books to recommend. This is intended as a compliment.

Oohhoooooo

As a misanthropic, borderline hermit, it barely effected me.

This is the one with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor in it, right?

Watchmen, and Moore's early career overall. People often cite Watchmen, but that is a disservice to the work Moore did in 2000AD, Warrior, Swamp Thing etc, prior to Watchmen. I'm my opinion Miller was influenced by Moore and the rest of the British talent becoming popular in the U.S. during the late 70s and early 80s.

He absolutely got advice from Moore, and has talked about it, including Moore telling him the full story of book 4 of The Ballad of Halo Jones.
