Today
I will see The Dark Knight, and I will see it today.
And if I see The Dark Knight, I will also see the trailer for Watchmen. Up until today, I avoided watching the Watchmen trailer up. Because I love the books and the stills from the movie looked promising (shot frame for frame like the comic) and I don’t want to get my expectations too high. Like with 300. It looked so cool in the trailers, but the director was a professional commercial director, so I should have expected a great trailer and have stayed appropriately impartial. But, for all the historical information available, the dialogue was lame, and the so was the movie-for me, anyway. I know plenty of people will disagree.
Oh, and then poor Alan Moore’s books have such a shitty history of being massacred by Hollywood, so, I have little hope for Watchmen.
