Daily Diversion: WTF is Watchmen?

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on March 3, 2009

This one goes out to all of you Watchmen posers. I know that you are out there. The dudes who sit around talking about how Watchmen is going to be an “awesome” film having never actually read the book. I’ve even met people who would go as far as to agree with Alan Moore’s anti-Hollywood stance without ever having read an Alan Moore book. You kids know who I’m talking about. At least the folks over at Landline TV know what I’m talking about, as evidence by the video above.

Stay tuned all the rest of this week for more Watchmen themed Daily Diversions. Also, follow along with our coverage of Zack Snyder’s flick over on our Watching the Watchmen homepage. Hat tip on this video goes to Cinematical.

Thank you Neil. I am one of those people who can't wait for Watchmen thursday at midnight and I do not know a damn thing about it. But unlike the posers, I was always quick to point out that I knew nothing about the comic book and would quickly ask anyone for more insight. Am I forgiven?

i have followed the graphic novel for a while, and so far from what i have seen zack snyder has done an amazing job on the directing, scenes are exactly the same as they are in some, Like when jon is taking a picture with his girlfriend at the amusement park, its true they arent dating in the comic but in the movie they added that, but it works, its scene for scene almost.

i can say i am thoroughly excited, only one thing im curious about it is the ending which they have changed from the novel.

guess well have to wait and see.
