Who watches the WATCHMEN? Maybe none of us

This just in from the Associated Press…
An attorney for 20th Century Fox says the studio will continue to seek an order delaying the release of WATCHMEN.
 U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess last week agreed with Fox that Warner Bros. had infringed its copyright by developing and shooting the superhero flick, scheduled for release March 6. Feess said Monday he plans to hold a trial Jan. 20 to decide remaining issues.
Fox claims it never fully relinquished story rights from its deal made in the late 1980s, and sued Warner Bros. in February. Warner Bros. contended Fox isn’t entitled to distribution. Warner Bros.’ attorney said Monday he didn’t know if an appeal was coming, but thinks a trial is necessary and a settlement unlikely.
Uh oh. Stay tuned for further developments.

What happened to the “open thread”? And just when I thought of a way to save the world from war in the middle east, it disappeared.
I was sitting here listening to my grandchildren rough housing in the other room when I thought of it.
Bill Gates and “T-Bone Pickens” own hundreds of thousands of acres in western USA. They could donate a number of acres equal to the number of acres of Israel to the Jews of Israel. Disney could recreate the city of Jerusalem out there.
What I have seen on the news appears that the land is sandy and rocky in Israel. We have lots of sandy and rocky soil here. I am sure that we would agree that the Israeli’s can have it. I would chip in to fly Israeli’s to the western US if it would help ensure that my grandchildren won’t have to deal with the crap that we have dealt with all my life in the middle east. ENOUGH!

Um, Dude, are you sure you’re in the right blog? This sounds more like a matter for Applesauce…

OOPS! I’m lost in cyberspace again. You are totally correct. And I was sitting here imagining fake tanks and daily fireworks at Utah-Israel-Disney that would have been so much safer for Israeli children. It probably wouldn’t be as exciting as random violence anyway. Dudess

I really hope that this movie isn’t delayed, or simply archived, and never released.
I truly want to see this, and it looks like a high quality motion picture. My initial impression is that it has the potential to rival the Dark Knight with respect to being an all-around amazing film.
