Wait, so they changed the ending, and now they actually call them "Watchmen"? I'm not in the "hater" camp yet, but those sorta things give me pause. Still jizzing my pants every time they show more footage, though. I just no longer expect this to blow away Batman Begins.

If they do indeed call them the Watchmen, it really wouldn't bother me that much. I'm just psyched to see Rorschach in action. Out of all the characters, I think he'll be the one that they hit the nail on the head with.

Damn!
March is still 4 months away.

I think the usage of Watchmen may be a simple replacement of Minutemen for less confusion to those that haven't read it.

I wonder how they'll handle Dr. Manhattan's time travel-type thing. Its a little confusing as a read.

That's a likely possibility.

Interesting. I don't remember Vietnam becoming a state in the comic, though.

I'm guessing the speculation that Fox really wanted to finally iron out the issues with the Batman TV show was just speculation? Fucking Murdoch. They'll try to make Watchmen a franchise, and we still won't get the goddamn Batman.

Fox says it will try to stop 'Watchmen'

Post by Newsbot »

LOS ANGELES – An attorney for 20th Century Fox says the studio will continue to seek an order delaying the release of 'Watchmen.'

U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feess last week agreed with Fox that Warner Bros. had infringed its copyright by developing and shooting the superhero flick, scheduled for release March 6.

Feess said Monday he plans to hold a trial Jan. 20 to decide remaining issues.

Fox claims it never fully relinquished story rights from its deal made in the late 1980s, and sued Warner Bros. in February. Warner Bros. contended Fox isn't entitled to distribution.

Warner Bros.' attorney said Monday he didn't know if an appeal was coming, but thinks a trial is necessary and a settlement unlikely.

Warner Bros.' is said to be considering changing the movie ad slogan to "Watchmen - The movie 20th Century Fox doesn't want you to see!"

Why in the name of fuck would a company try to stop the release of one of the most anticipated films of the year instead of just demanding money or Batman TV rights?

I hereby am boycotting Fox until they get their heads out of their asses and/or prove they have sucked all the dicks on earth.

My choice is that they pull their heads out. If Rupert Murdoch shows up at my door, takes out his dentures, and tries to blow me, I'm going to be very upset.
