Switchblade Comb

There are three properties I never wanted to see turned into films - Ender’s Game, any Kurt Vonnegut book, and Watchmen. But that last one has fallen into the hands of terrible director Zack Snyder, and there’s nothing I can do about it but sit and wait in quiet dread.

I don’t quite know what to make of this yet. On the one hand, Ozymandias looks awful, but just seeing the Comedian gave me goosebumps. Please, please, please don’t suck.

And whose idea was it to use the theme song from Batman & Robin?

In a gritty and alternate 1985 the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown, but after one of the masked veterans is brutally murdered an investigation into the killer is initiated. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot.

Watchmen opens March 6, 2009.
