UPDATE: The Watchmen Trailer in HD! (via)
I’ve read very little comics in my life, but one of them that I highly recommend is Watchmen, written back in 1986 by Alan Moore (who was also writing the V for Vendetta series at that time). Watchmen is an extremely well-written and profound story. Go to any bookstore with a comic books section or any comic book store and they will be sure to have it.
I do not know if it will be forced to be pulled down, but above is the leaked trailer for the Watchmen movie (via Kevin Rose). I am incredibly excited about this movie. My only huge hesitation is that, well, the director of this movie–Zack Snyder–also did a movie called 300 which I completely hated. It’s one of the few movies I’ve seen where I really think I wasted my time. I’m not entirely sure how to voice my hesitation. I guess I’ve heard he did okay with the source material to Frank Miller’s 300 comic (which I never read), but I just hated the 300 movie so much I hope he doesn’t make the Watchmen movie completely stupid. [If you want to know why I hated 300, read this older post of Charlie's and my thoughts in the comments.]
That being said, from what I see in the trailer it looks freakin’ awesome.
