And…

I saw “Watchmen.” It’s fucking astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off.

Remember that feeling of watching “Sin City” on the big screen and being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you’ll come close to watching “Watchmen.” Even Alan Moore might be surprised at how close the movie is to the book. March can’t come soon enough.

Don’t forget, this is from the guy who thought Lord of the Rings was nothing but “a bunch of guys walking around for 3 hours” - but still - we can hope this holds true. Link.

    And the fact he’s a prequel apologist.

    Like I’ve said before if the movie does indeed turn out to be shit, it won’t be for a lack of trying.
