PostsI was watching Watchmen on Blu-ray last night when the picture froze. If you’ve seen the move, it was the scene where Silk Spectre and Nite Owl take a stroll down a dark alley and they end up going Old Testament on a bunch of street thugs who were up to no good. [...]

New ‘Watchmen’ lawsuit, this time it’s over coffee
Massimo Zanetti, the maker of various crappy grocery store coffees including Chock Ful o’Nuts, is suing Warner Brothers, DC Comics, and the Organic Coffee Cartel over coffee that looks an awful lot like a can of Chock Ful o’Nuts. The coffee, Nite Owl Dark Roast, is being sold online with a percentage of the [...]
Animation on Blu-ray: is there a difference?
When the Watchmen motion comic was released on March 3rd, I found myself wondering which version I should purchase. Should I buy the high-definition Blu-ray version or the regular DVD version? Would I really see a difference between to the two formats?
I went ahead and picked up the Blu-ray version.
I’ll be perfectly honest and admit [...]
‘Watchmen’ has a disappointing second week
I guess this means Watchmen will be the first and last nearly three-hour, R-rated superhero movie and maybe that’s not such a terrible thing.
When it comes to the ending of the ‘Watchmen’ movie, I agree with Hitler (SPOILER ALERT)
We went and watched Watchmen yesterday. Though I absolutely loved the movie, I didn’t care much for the ending. Not because it differed from the ending in the graphic novel (because it did), but because it was flawed.
In the graphic novel, the cold war comes to an immediate end by the [...]
Early reviews for ‘Watchmen’ movie are trickling in
Watchmen opens this Friday, but reviews are already starting to trickle in over at the movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Though it currently has an overall T-Meter rating of 73%, looking at only the reviews from the top critics gives it a rating of only 14%.
That’s not good.
Devin Gordon from Newsweek:
Snyder has appropriated Moore’s [...]
Don Murphy: “Alan Moore is a hypocrite and a liar”
Don Murphy, Hollywood producer behind films such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, and Transformers has a few choice words for comic book master scribe Alan Moore. Both From Hell and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen were films based on Alan Moore comics.
From AV Club:
Alan Moore is a hypocrite and a liar.
–He [...]
Watchmen trailer shares music with worst superhero movie ever made
If you’ve watched the trailer for the upcoming Watchmen movie, you might have recognized the tune that accompanies the trailer. It’s The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning by the Smashing Pumpkins.
It doesn’t look as though the song actually appears in the finished movie. At least it’s not included in the official Watchmen [...]
Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic
Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic comes out on DVD and Blu-ray March 3, 2009. The individual chapters have been sporadically appearing in the iTunes store as $1.99 downloads. I think I purchased the first two, then promptly forgot about ever going back to see if the remaining chapters were ever made available or [...]
Boycotting 20th Century Fox over ‘Watchmen’ legal dispute
Some people are trying to form a boycott of 20th Century Fox over the studio’s insistence that they still own rights to any motion picture based on the Watchmen graphic novel. A federal judge recently agreed with 20th Century Fox. From the Facebook Free Watchmen group:
20th Century Fox is trying to prohibit the release [...]
Judge rules 20th Century Fox owns rights to ‘Watchmen’ movie
A federal judge in Los Angeles has announced that he intends to rule that 20th Century Fox indeed owns a copyright interest in the Warner Brothers movie, Watchmen. The movie, directed by Zack Snyder, is based on the DC Comics epic graphic novel of the same name.
Watchmen was published in 12 issues from 1986 [...]
New Watchmen trailer
Though this trailer is technically new, it contains a lot of the scenes already seen in the other Watchmen trailers, including Rorschach acting as if he was bitten by a radioactive spider.
Second chapter of the Watchmen motion comic released
The second chapter of the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s graphic novel Watchmen “motion comic” is now up in the Apple iTunes store. I watched the first chapter in July and I’ve been waiting for the next one ever since. At this pace, the 12th and final chapter wont be coming out until the upcoming [...]
The ‘Watchmen’ trailer
The official trailer for the Watchmen movie is up over at Apple’s official movie trailer site. It looks like this movie is going to be as great as I have been hoping it would be. Seriously, I think Alan Moore will even have a hard time watching this and feeling pesimistic about it’s potental.
Free Comic Book Day 2008
This year’s Free Comic Book Day has now come and gone. I only visited one comic book shop, Comics World in the Chambersburg Mall in Scotland, Pennsylvania. Not only were they giving away the comics every other participating comic book retailer was giving away, they had some good sales taking place.
Statues and Busts [...]
