Is it a poster, or like the standup cardboard thing? Our movie theater has a standup thingy with all of the characters and something that they allegedly say (though not in the book) that describes them. Of course, the line on the Ozymandias panel is a giant fucking spoiler, so they really should have chosen something else since the majority of people seeing this movie will never have read it.

It's a poster. It's a drawing of Rorschach standing in the middle of a New York street with a bunch of hookers and scumbags are staring in fear. You can see the Rumrunner's sign and the graffiti lovers in the background and it says 'This city fears me- I have seen it's true face'

*in best Professor voice* Good news everyone!
Apparently FOX and WB finished up the trial or otherwise wrapped up this whole legal headache. Watchmen'll be keeping its 3-6-09 release date and Fox still has distribution rights. So does that mean FOX's movies will be the ones we see in the trailers prior to when it comes out?

Either that, or the day is saved by the pluck and hard work of Guantanamo Bay interrogators, and the last twenty minutes is just bear attacks and bikini fights.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

While its writer denies he's reviewed anything, the unofficial first take on Watchmen is live at Time. The verdict: It's destined for fanboy greatness. Who knew?
Matt Selman insists he hasn't breached Warner Bros.' review embargo on the film, which opens March 6 and is review-proof anyway. But even so, where hormonal sister publication EW yelped with awe for months over Twilight, the Time blogger has claimed ownership of the geek vanguard with Monday's rather fulsome introspection:
I'm not allowed to talk details, but let's just say it is astounding how much of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' graphic novel is in this movie. [...]
Sitting in that screening room and watching the visual world of the Watchmen movie unfold was one of the most powerful experiences I've ever had. Not film experiences. Just EXPERIENCES. I don't think I realized how close I was to the original book until I saw such a loving, detail-rich, almost obsessive recreation of that universe. It had my heart pounding and head swimming. I barely slept that night. Someone took the most special personal thing of my adolescence and put it on a movie screen. That doesn't happen every day.
Thank God; "most special personal things" of our own adolescence would probably never even clear the ratings board. |

One change that they've made which kind of bothers me is that Laurie won't be a smoker.
from io9.com
The Watchmen movie pays insane attention to the graphic novel... except the main accessory in superheroine Laurie Juspeczyk's life, her opium-pipe-looking smokes. Why do the movie's supermen get to smoke, but not the superwomen?
It's no secret that Zack Snyder paid insane attention to the detail in Watchmen. We've seen full pages of Tijuana bibles, and a to-scale Gunga Diner recreation. But Laurie's smokes are noplace to be seen. So we asked the OCD director himself, while he was doing press for Watchmen, why Ms. Laurie Juspeczyk has kicked her habit.
Where were Laurie's smokes, Zack?
"Yeah, Alan hates smoking. Alan Horn - the head of the studio - that's his biggest, biggest thing. The Comedian can smoke, because he might be a bad guy, he's the bad guy, but that's it. That was the line that he drew."
But aren't those kind of a small plot device for the character to watch her go on and off the wagon?
"I was sad, but it was either that or...the movie wouldn't have been made, literally."
So what did the actress Malin Akerman, who donned the latex costume for Snyder's movie think?
Were you disappointed that your character didn't smoke in the film?
"Yes I was actually. I mean with everything else that's going on in the film you're kind of like, she should smoke up too."
Well why I can't necessarily strongly disagree with this move (because apparently smoking is bad for you) why do the bad boys like Big Figure and The Comedian get to suck on cigars, and poor Laurie has to don the patch? I smell a double standard. Either way, I'm sad we won't get to see her fumbling with that odd-looking pipe. Watchmen will be out in theaters on 6 March.
