The second Watchman trailer, due to premiere today in front of "Quantum of Solace", hit teh net last night, and I think we’re close enough now for me to admit this thing gives me a hard on. I could never make it through the book, but being online so much has atrophied my brain down to a nub so I don’t think that should count against them. If a normal brain looks like an owl with glasses and a graduation cap and a stick to point at things on the board, mine is that monkey who pee’d in his own mouth.
I feel compelled to cram in my gushing love letter to Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. It's Kelly Leak. Kelly Leak god dammit! How can you not love a guy who survives this awful fucking town. Huge star in his teens, then didn’t have a single role from 1993 to 2006. For 13 years he drove limos, finished furniture, and delivered pizzas, now he is to Watchmen what Wolverine is to X-Men. Am I the only one who finds that amazing? People come to LA and say, "I'll give it 6 months and see how it goes". 13 years! The dude failed for 13 god damn years, yet still killed it when someone finally gave him a chance. His Hollywood comeback couldn’t be any more dramatic unless he did riding a 10-story robot that looks like a tiger.

I know nothing about the comic but everything I've seen come from this gives off a vibe of that Batman movie with the nipples on his suit which sucked.
well, at least he didn't off himself in front of Abdul's house…
I also know nothing about the comic, and this movie looks like a pile of rat shit. Someone throw water on those flaming blue homos.
Well I love the book, but I'm not sure about the film yet. They got Rorsharch right, and The Comedian and Silk Spectre but the rest look pretty gay..
I'm hard as a rock right now for this movie
why is this here? keep the movies at filmdrunk.. if there's naked pics of the female leads, I'm interested..
Brownsfan, keep it in your mother's basement.
Grubber, good fuckin point.
Yeah, I'll go see it!
Well, there is sex in the book, and if they keep it as true as they appear to be that means Malin Akerman naked. Yum
thnx db, morning btw..
Sweet Jesus, I cannot wait for this to come out.
Rorschach kicks so much ass.

see rem, that's what I mean.. now I'm interested…
Also, RemSteale… if Malin Akerman is naked in this movie as much as she was in the book, that also means that we will be suffering 40 minutes of blue penis from Dr. Manhattan.

Comic books and movies related to such, are not my thing. Not spending one penny on this movie.
Malin Akerman naked.
Who hasn't seen this skinny, poor man's Cameron Diaz naked yet?
What is your thing, Pepper?
Im cited!! YAY…like you Rem…I am a dorkus for the book..
Jackie Earl was hanging Chinese food menus on El Paso doorknobs before playing that (awesome) kiddy toucher last year, whenever. Can't tell me that pedophilia never works out.
nice speedo.
"poor man's Cameron Diaz"
Although that is one hell of a perfect description, I'd still like to see Malin naked over Cameron any day of the week. I've had a stiffy for her since Harold & Kumar.
