New trailer.  Embedding disabled.

Oh man.

They had a test screening the other night.  Word is that they didn't quite stick the ending.  Thematically yes, narratively no.

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

If you really want to know what they changed, click here.  Doesn't sound like a deal breaker to me.  We'll see.

Saw the trailer with the new Bond tonight.  It started and I whooped and clapped.  The only person in the theater to do so.

Looks dark, kinda scary, Rorshach (sp?) looks over-wraught, yay!  Just like the graphic novel!

There appears to be a love interest thing, which I don't remember in the original story, but eh.  You've got to do something to bring the chicks in I guess.

I saw the trailer for this ahead of the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. The Watchmen is something that I believe I want to see.

Getting rid of the squid is a good call.  It's much too esoteric and won't fit into a film no matter how you work it.

QuoteTHE BRITISH star of new superhero movie Watchmen has launched a foul-mouthed tirade against fans of the graphic novel who questioned his casting.

MATTHEW GOODE plays Andrew Veidt/Ozymandias in the movie, expected to be one of the biggest hits of 2009.


But the 30-year-old actor – who has previously appeared in Match Point and Brideshead Revisited – went on the offensive after learning hardcore fans are saying he doesn't suit the character before even watching the film.


He said: "The negative feedback is relayed by my friends. I think the fanboys aren't particularly happy – there are a load of people they'd have rather had in before me.


"It's already being slated before they've seeing anything.


"But if fanboys still hate the film after going and seeing it, they can all line up and s*** my d***.


"I don't give a f***."


Matthew added: "I'm having a child and that's more important to me – so I don't give a f***.


"Grow a d***."

Why shouldn't you alter the ending of Watchmen?  Because it pisses Hitler off.

Dude, the amount of that junk was slightly disturbing. Especially the way it wobbled.

I liked the movie, but it did have its slow spots.
