Watchmen... Who's watching the watchmen? Hell if I know. Another huge Hollywood superhero epic for the vapid and jejune to gorge themselves greedily upon until they are too bloated to breathe their disdain.
No. Seriously. It could be good. Dark Knight was. Did anyone overdose after filming of Watchmen was completed? Did any actor take their role so seriously that it spilled over into their actual life? Did anyone do that weird tongue thing in between villainous pontifications?
It was a good comic from what I've read, though I've never actually read it. Wikipedia. The perfectly half-assed way to become an expert on just about any subject.
Watchmen showcases a dark and dystopian future where heroes are met with extreme revulsion. Why in any kind of society would heroes be scorned? I'm not sure. But apparently this movie is supposed to explain it. Picking up right where NBC's heroes has failed us a nation.
The big blue guy freaks me out. He looks like some kinda Aqua-God. He could destroy us all. With one whisper to his fishy disciples.
Halloween is a long way off from the release of this mammoth cinematic fart. But like the the stench, the the momentum is sure to linger.
