Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This interview was the one I was looking forward to the most from my entire Comic-Con line-up. First of all, I’m a big Terry Gilliam geek. Who didn’t grow up with Python and TIME BANDITS? So, there’s that and I’ve also seen THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS, a movie I had a lot to talk about anyway. Plus they gave me half an hour, which is unheard of at Comic-Con, the home of the five minute 1:1.

Merrick here...
I gather the video posted by Latino Review actually originated from THIS page at Amazon. As I can't figure out how to get the Amazon embed onto our page here, jump on over to either LR ...or Amazon...to check out Snyder's commentary.

Was the theatrical release of WATCHMEN essentially a trailer for the Director's Cut? Judging from the select footage I saw Wednesday morning at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (which included a peak at the three hours of supplementary material), I think it might've been.

AN OPEN LETTER FROM A WATCHMEN SCREENWRITER
So it has been five months since I saw my first rough cut of WATCHMEN, and eight days since the premiere of the film I've been working on since late in the year 2000.
The reviews are out -- Some outstanding, others rankly dismissive, which can be frustrating for the people involved, (though I can only speak for myself,) because I firmly believe that WATCHMEN, the novel, must be read through more than once to even have the faintest grip on it. And I believe the film is the same.

(Hey gang, for those who have been patiently (and impatiently) waiting for this, I apologize for its lateness. It’s been a rough few days. Seriously, fuck this week.)

Hey folks, Harry here... You may have seen images of Dr Manhattan appearing along the Thames in London. And I remember thinking... That's outrageous. Then later I got sent this link!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with my exclusive one on one with Zack Snyder from this year’s WonderCon. I swear, this is the last WATCHMEN story you'll see from me! Taking a look at the front page as I prepared this story I was worried we'd be hitting Watchmen overload at this point.

Watchmen: FAQ

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know how geeky each of you may or may not be, but here's how geeky I feel today. Now, a whole bunch of us have been following the development of this property, since it first became available. Tracking the rumors in Starlog, WIZARD and the endless other mags at the time. And at every turn of the development dream, I always wanted to read what Ebert would say. I'm proud that I have been able to call Roger my friend. But it was upon reading his review of WATCHMEN tonight that I just felt I had to share with all of you.

Is it possible to be in awe of Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN and still be unsure as to whether it works as a standalone motion picture? And is there any point in judging the theatrical cut of the film at all when Snyder's preferred version, which runs thirty minutes longer, is set to hit DVD this fall (and, perhaps, theaters this summer)?

Hey folks, Harry here... The following, I don't believe is part of the Viral campaign - though it may be. Whatever it is - it is the most nightmarishly hilarious critique of bad Saturday Morning adaptations of comic properties that I've seen. What do you guys think? Would you Watch These Watchmen?

Well folks, the time has come. After over two decades of waiting, WATCHMEN hits theaters...tonight.
Some have already seen the film via adcvanced screenings held over the past few weeks. Some will be seeing it at midnight, or over the next few days. Some will be seeing it in IMAX...some in digital...some in standard theaters. Some won't be seeing it at all.

As you almost certainly know by now, WATCHMEN hits theaters this evening.
Given the aesthetic intensity of the property, it's in no way surprising that a bevy of image/design intensive publications are supporting the film's release.

Notes to consider before continuing with my review of Watchmen:
1) It will not contain a plot synopsis. Over the last two weeks of online reviews and musings, magazine covers and myriad articles across multiple forms of media, I’m pretty sure you got the idea by now. In the interests of catering to those who might be making this the first review of Watchmen they’ve read, here’s the gist: What if superheroes were real? Well, they’d probably be pretty fucked up individuals. Let’s examine that, shall we? WATCHMEN.

You may have heard about this nutty little movie called WATCHMEN which opens later this week.
Not surprisingly, several image/design intensive books are accompanying the film's release. We'll have a fuller look at a few of these titles in the coming days, but...for the moment...I wanted to give you a chance to bag ONE OF THREE copies of a cool WATCHMEN movie related publication.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with another WonderCon report, this time covering TERMINATOR: SALVATION. I’m also going to go ahead and throw in the Watchmen panel info here, too, since there wasn’t much discussed, with over a quarter of the panel time being taken up by the first 20 minutes of the film that has been reported about all over the place for months.

Hey folks, Harry here... Moriarty has reviewed WATCHMEN too - and even though we never talk, and he's forsaken me, Quint and all of you. It would just seem wrong to not link out to his diatribe against WATCHMEN... um... wait... He like it? Man, how much was he paid? Right? Couldn't be that he just really dug it, right? Here ya go...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with my thoughts on WATCHMEN. I must preface this with a couple of things. First off, I will be discussing some specific spoilers, but I’ll make sure to hit those at the end of the review so if you don’t want to know you can be fairly certain of not hitting any huge spoilers through the main review.

I have watched the WATCHMEN.
WATCHMEN wasn’t something I discovered because my father handed it to me. It wasn’t because he took me to buy it. I found WATCHMEN all on my own.
After creating AICN, for the past 13 years we’ve been tracking WATCHMEN, and many times it looked as though it was going to happen. Then even when this thing did happen, it looked like another force was going to keep it from coming out.
