Just Imagine Stan Lee’s Watchmen

I’m probably the last person in the world to have seen this, but here’s a remix of Watchmen in the style of Stan Lee.  It made me chuckle. ‘Nuff said.

Watchmen: Bigger, Louder and Uncut

I went to see Watchmen last night. As a somewhat obsessive fan of the original comic book (alright then, graphic novel), I expected this to be something of a Manichean moviegoing experience.

W For Watchmen

During my absence a couple of rather yummy trailers have turned up on the Interwebs. First, there’s this: James Cromwell as Daddy Bush? Richard Dreyfus as Dick Cheney? Mr Fantastic as Tony Blair? Oliver Stone, I salute you! Then, there’s this: As a huge fan of the original ‘graphic novel’ (God, I hate that phrase), [...]

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
