Your WATCHMEN post of the day

I haven’t posted anything about WATCHMEN lately, so here’s the video that’s been making the rounds of the Internet: A fake newscast celebrating the 10th anniversary of WATCHMEN’s godlike super hero, Dr. Manhattan.

As if I needed another reason to be excited about this movie, this clip does the job. Also, I paged through a copy of the new book WATCHMEN: THE FILM COMPANION and had to stop after a few pages so as not to spoil any surprises. But what I saw looked good — very good.

What a great viral. I watched it quite a few times last week when it was posted on The NEWFRONTIERSMAN. I can’t wait to see the film March 6th.
But this also brings up expectation vs. realization. That old trap of when you get the film worked up in your head so much that even if it’s good, it doesn’t meet your insanely high expectations.
That said however, if this film is made half as well as it is marketed it will be a defining work of the comic-to-film genre.
Sorry, graphic novel-to-film.

I haven’t and won’t read the graphic novel before the film. I want to go into this thing, and be completely surprised.
This is going to be an amazing movie.
These may be famous last words, but I can’t see any way as to how this can be a poor movie.

If the movie is anything like these images from the film, it’s going to be the WORST work of the graphic novel-to-film genre. What’s with the gay nazi? LMAO
…i WANT to be excited about WATCHMEN, but everything I see makes it looks lamer and lamer
