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.
