Movie Trailer: Watchmen (Trailer #2)
Click below to view the most recent trailer for Watchmen. I still have no idea how they're going to be able to make this into a coherent movie but it makes for one heck of an ad campaign.

Right now, this is the top of my can't wait to see list.


I showed this trailer to my long-suffering wife. When it was done she sat there and blinked.

LSW: "When is this opening?"
Me: "Uh, March..."
LSW: "I'm busy."

I can't wait to see this movie. I loved 300 (despite being a girl) and am looking forward to more from this director. Enjoyed the graphic novel (though not as much as HellBoy), and very intrigued to see how the film will handle some of the themes.

And comicbooks are basically readable movies.

See, I happen to think that's the strongest selling point for graphic novels! I love comic books! God bless 'em.

And there's no way this movie will be as much fun, nor will it be as thought provoking, as the graphic (ahem) novel was.

Sammy, comic books are what they are, they're not cinema. Huge differences.

Darrell, I put the line in about graphic novels being comic books basically to take a harmless jab at a couple of my readers I always go back and forth with on the issue. I look at the term "graphic novel" to be the same as "action figure" - its a doll. The only reason why we have a different word for it is because grown men want to keep their dignity for retaining the things of childhood. Before some troll reads this and bellows that I'm saying Watchmen is for kids, I ain't. Its an interesting work but the format is one that belongs to the kiddies. Its like seeing a facinating painting done in finger paints...oh, I'm sorry "digital pigments". Do I get done on grown men who read comic books? No necessarily, personally I think its up there with playing x-box and watching MTV, grown men should have better things to do, but in this leisure-based culture I can understand how it happens. I do get annoyed when we, as a people, continue to dumb down our society but refuse to have the dignity to at least admit what we're up to.
