Watchmen (Trailer)

"Who watches the Watchmen?"

On March 6, 2009, everybody will because the trailer below has blown me away.

Wow.

Holy fuckin cow that was fuckin amazing.

My head exploded.

Zach Snyder may have pulled off the impossible feat of putting the most unfilmable graphic novel ever and actually made a great film from the 2 minute and change trailer thats below. If this lives up to the hype, I'll be astonished.

I reminded you all to read the graphic novel first. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons gave us a new frontier in comics with the Watchmen. Every ingenious plot device, flawed characters, dystopian fucked up future and storytelling technical device you've seen in other comics, TV shows (ahem Heroes) or movies was STOLEN from the Watchmen.

Believe the hype of why the Watchmen is considered the uber best graphic novel/comic ever.

They got Rorscasch dead on. Dr. Manhattan is amazing. Silk Spectre is hot. The Comedian looks ready to kick ass. Ozymandias and Nite Owl are in glorificus mesmerizing effect.

This is going to kick ass.

Watch the trailer before Warner Bros pulls it down.

Watchmen (Read the Graphic Novel!)

On March 6, 2009, Zach Snyder brings us the movie version of Watchmen. As much as I'm excited to watch the greatest graphic novel ever be turned into a movie, do yourself a favor and read the graphic novel.

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons masterpiece is brilliant and thought provoking.

Snyder's vision seems to keep the elements of what makes Watchmen great but seriously, read the comic.

Alan Moore may be nuts, but the comic is genius and mesmerizing.

It's the forerunner for everything that has come since. Read the Watchmen.
