Browser crashes when I try the link, but if this is an adaptation of the Watchmen comic by Alan Moore, I'm in.

A couple of people have had that problem.

And yes, it is.

I've never read it, but I really need to. It's probably one of, if not the best graphic novel ever written.

Know anyplace where I can read it online?

I don't know how you decide that without having read it...but if you find it, let me know, I gotta show some friends so they know what I'm talking about.

I've heard about it forever. And even Time Magazine recognized it as one of the 100 best english-literature works since 1923 (I think or 1927).

EDIT: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY I JUST WET MYSELF.

For those who have not read it (the infidels....) No spoilers, plox.

But yes. Original ending.

News is old, we've been following it for a while. (We refers to folks at college.)
Very excited. Last October, I dressed as The Punisher while a friend was Rorschach. We also had Hooded Justice, and Greg Saunders, AKA Vigilante with us.

my girlfriend had to read it for her honors humanity class on comic/graphic novels. And so she is making me read it, but i've only heard good things. Trailer looked freaking awesome though without knowing anything about what actually happens.

The question around my office was... "Why is raiden getting blown to bits?"


oh wrong trailer link... oh well.

It's not going to live up to the graphic novel but oh well, the visuals look pretty spot-on at least.
Ralanbek2008-07-30 03:17:34
ah finished watchmen yesterday
its so freaking good, cant wait for movie. hope it lives up. and has sad ending even though, it was hella sad sad.gif
cant believe dr. manhattan would do that to rorsharch {pretty sure thats spelled wrong}.

heard that Alan Moore thinks it will fail, but i hope he's wrong.

tsk, Rorschach wins in the end.

Alan Moore seems to be pretty negative about comic to movie adaptations in general. He tries not to be associated with any of the ones based on his work, and the reason he left DC is because they didn't apologize for V for Vendetta's movie producer apparently lying about Moore's interest in the film.
