Who Watches the Watchmen?
You cannot call yourself a past or present comic book geek unless you have read Alan Moore's 'The Watchmen'. When I heard that movie was being made I scoffed at the idea.. there was no way this could be done. In fact I was almost right... this movie had been in the rumored status since 1986.... which at times feels like the often rumored but never seen 'Duke Nukem Forever' game. In other words... "There is no freakin-way this is ever going to happen"...
But it has happened.... it is coming out....
To view some high quality Quicktime... go to Apple's Website.
Some of my favorite lines:
- Police Detective: I think you take this vigilante stuff too seriously. Since the Keene Act was passed in '77 only the government-sponsored weirdos are active. They don't interfere.
- Detective Steve Fine: Screw them. What about Rorschach? Rorschach never retired, even after him and his buddies fell out of grace. Rorschach's still out there somewhere. He's crazier than a snake's armpit and wanted on two counts of Murder One. We got a cozy little homicide here. If he gets involved, we'll be up to our butts in corpses.
- Happy Harry the Bartender: [scared] Ruh. Ror. Ror. Rorschach! Har Har How are ya doin', fella?
- Rorschach: I'm fine, Happy Harry. Yourself?
- Happy Harry: Fine! I'm fuh, I'm fine! And I'm, and I'm, and I'm glad you're fine too! And uh, and uh... Oh God. Please don't kill anybody.

i had been avoiding the trailer for the watchmen online because i wanted to see it before the dark knight in the theater. sadly, the only previews i saw were for the new ridley scott movie, the new terminator flick (awesome), and one for some disney piece of crap animated movie with miley cyrus and john travolta. that trailer had no business being in front of the dark knight. i was pretty miffed, but then again, i was at an AMC theater, and they're notorious for not showing the trailers that every other theater is. disney? really? grr. see, i'm still mad about it.
i'll watch this trailer today in glorious apple quicktime.
