Oh my good gollywog! IT LOOKS AMAZING!!!
The Watchmen Trailer (via Giz!)
I’m sure Zack Snyder is handling this like Chris Columbus did for Harry Potter – one fuck up and millions of ravaging fanboys will burn his house down. Myself included. I LOVED this book!
The trailer looks… (dare I say this?) Just. Like. The. Book. Right down to the discombobulation of Jon Osterman! Yeeee!!!
I think I peed just a little.

Okay, next to Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, this is the most important comic ever written. Ever. And the movie looks like it’s true to the book, which is all I want. So far, it looks awesome.
I know next to nothing about the comic, but that trailer gave me shivers anyway. Looks awesome. And if Zack Snyder somehow, against all odds, didn’t mess up a Dawn of the Dead remake, then maybe he can actually pull this one off too.
It’s pretty important. It’s like the penultimate graphic novel with visual and thematic tricks and twists (though, Dave Gibbons isnt my favorite artist, they did an amazing job in it’s execution). You can see how the last 20 years of comics/movies/pop culture have drawn from it in some way or another.
Should I actually read this one? I’ve heard good things about it, but I”m not a “graphic novel” fanboy.
Oooooooooh!
