Default Watchmen (2009)

I'm a day late with bringing you this. Forgive me, for I spent the whole day watching it over and over and over.

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/watchmen/

-

I am going to show you an amazing trailer that will kill most of you, and those of you who survive are going to be insane.

With this trailer I plan to unite the human race to that it does not exterminate itself.

However I do not have the weakness of telling the whole monologue of my plans before ultimately failing, so...

I already posted it.

-

I am stoked beyond all measures of the word. This has completely made my year.

I can't watch this, I'll have to find it on YouTube. Freaking Apple, bundling Quicktime with iTunes and then the whole thing not working *grumble mumble* Makes me want to stab Steve Jobs in the eye with Bill Gates' cochlea.

I think I'll pick up the comic next time I'm in Dave's (if I've been paid and it's there at a reasonable price). I like the trailer, I just want to read the comic first.

Rorschach's voice doesn't sound like it should be in my opinion.
Dr. Manhattan is spot on though!

Oh and they've got the Mars scene... oh yeah baby.

written by Alan Moore ranking up there with Frank Miller and responsible for some of the most downright legendary graphic novels/comic book series.

he writes good comics.

It will be bad, as much as I am fooling myself it won't be.

Proof:
"From the visionary director of 300."

I actually liked the movie 300, though I never read the comic.

Only thing I am upset with is the Smashing Pumpkins in another hero movie. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the Pumpkins, they're easily in my top 10 favorite bands. I just don't want to hear them every other hero movie. I can't even recall the last trailer that had them playing in it, I just hear it too often. Their music just isn't all that suited for these movies in my opinion, get U2 or Audioslave.

Aparently the song was made for the Batman Forever soundtrack.

Read the book, be blown away, then prepare yourself for the awesomeness that will be this movie.
