The first photos of the actors in costume will bring truckloads of people here.
yeah, i wonder if the kind of people who loved spidey 3 and x3 will actually like watchmen. but i think this is one of the few graphic novels people will go out of their way to read because those who have read it will put it over more than anything else. people may say "you need to read the long halloween." but anyone who has ever said watchmen tells you that you truly, truly NEED to read watchmen. obviously, it is special because it creates and ends its universe all in the same book. in 12 issues everything is told. the complexity of a 60 year run condensed into 300 pages or so. truly amazing.

On the brightside, we'll probably never have to deal with "WAnT CPtn METRLPOLS in AT!!!!!" or "Mr. Thau please create Doctor Manhattan rule the world scene"
The Malcolm Long shrink sessions are still present in both Tse drafts I've caught... but in significantly shortened versions and so therefore far from being correct. The real gutter was that all of that great Rorschach "Stood in firelight, sweltering bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent..." monologue that takes up a whole page in the comic had been extensively trimmed. Instead, just a single short paragraph of script covers the entire exchange, ending abruptly with "God doesn't make the world this way. We do." which is kinda weak compared to what we get on the page, with talk of rudderless worlds and metaphysical forces and all.
The lines that could arguably have won the actor playing Rorschach major critical kudos are all but swept away. Sorry Jackie... no second Oscar nod to be had here, I'm afraid.
