saw the trailer before Dark Knight. it looks really good. didnt hurt that they had playing one of my favorte smashing pumkins songs... The trailer looks damn good, but isn't that song the one SP did for Batman & Robin just slowed down? one is called "the end is the beginning is the end" the other is called "the beginning is the end is the beginning" (i believe the latter is the slower version)

I remembered that after my first few posts. I actually had that soundtrack as there were some good songs on it. It really was the only thing remotely good about that movie.

That's like saying that one turd smells better than another. At the end of the day, they're both shit.

I'm not staring at my turds. I'm staring at you sniffing them. Now THAT's creepy.

It looks interesting. I'll give it that. But some of those poses seem like they were done solely for the sake of the preview and not actually cut out of the movie.

Nope. This one is also making the actual comic "move", but doesn't have Alan moore narrating (that I could tell). It's 25 mins long and mp4 quality too!

Is it the same thing as this? That's from a pretty cool documentary called "The Mindscape of Alan Moore". I've heard the "moving comics" are shit.

I've heard the "moving comics" are shit. I got round to watching it last night. I thought it was pretty good - it has had mixed reactions and reviews though. The animation prolly isn't as spectacular as a lot of people would like, but it kinda reminded me of childhood programmes: Mr. Ben, Noggin the Nog, Ivor the Engine etc ... Watchmen Motion Comic

i don't know why (but i know you'll tell me)... i'm really just not excited about this movie.
true, i never raved about watchmen as much as most internetty types. i think, mostly, its because i loooove batman too much! ...which isn't really it, but i know that'll be a response, too, so i was cutting to the chase.
actually, i think its moreso because i read the book so late into my comic book life. and, to me, part of the main appeal of watchmen is how un-comicbooky it was, "for the time." dark and realistic and grimm and deep. but having 10+ years of post-watchmen comics flood my brain before reading the original made it not seem that innovative.
plus, no batman.
so, i can appreciate the book now for having set the tone, but didn't get the impact that im sure most others did, and thus don't have the fondness for it.
all the same, i still would think i'd be hyped about the movie. i enjoyed 300 the book but really looked forward to the movie. same with sin city. this one, not so much. i think parts of the trailer look cool, i think parts of the trailer look awful. mostly, i just think it looks "meh" and i wish i didn't.
i've been pariahed.

You could have saved yourself some work and just typed that. We all knew that was the real reason. Also, at least two of the WM characters are based on Batman. (Nite Owl I and II. Three or four if you count Rorschach (sp?) and/or Ozymyndias as partly based on Batman.) But I understand what Rob means... Watchmen is a great comic but I didn't read it until I had read MAUS, DKR, Batman: Year One, some of Miller's Daredevil and some other 1980´s comics (Alan Grant's 'Detective' Batman and Mike Grell's Green Arrow). Also, I was spoiled on the ending of WM before I read it.

I have an issue of The Comics Journal from around that time, and it has some of those ads.

Actually, Nite Owl is probably more Blue Beetle (with the legacy and all) considering that Moore's first story involved the Charleton characters. And Rorschach is the Question.

Like Gob, I didn't read Watchmen when it first came out. Despite that, I think it's a really good read that somehow makes sense no matter what "era" you read it in. But if anyone can explain that pirate story running through ...

For years I thought that's who this was until I was corrected years ago. All Watchmen characters are "blends" of various "archetypes" in superhero comics. Nite Owl(s) is 1st based on Blue Beetle, but also on Batman, Moon Knight and possibly some other gents. Rorschach was 1st meant to be The Question, but the final version is closer to another Ditko character, Mr A (as in the Objectivist saying 'A is A and not not-A'), with bits of Charles Bronson's hero in "Death Wish". BTW, there's no 'e' in Charlton Comics.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Comicshttp://twomorrows.com/comicbookartist/articles/09empire.html
