Pre-Watchmen Thoughts

Just some random thoughts before I go watch the flick.

Worst case scenario, we get something like The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Best case, we get something slightly better than V for Vendetta. I can see it now, Rorschach to Ozymandias: "I love you."

I'm wonderng/hoping if this could be the start of some big budget alternate history films. The only other one I can think of is Max, with John Cusack.

Now that I think about it, he'd have been a pretty good Comedian. Maybe if the film had been made in the early 90's?

How cool would that be? Starring 80's teen idols the Brat Pack! Judd Nelson as Rorschach! John Cusack as the Comedian! Ally Sheedy as the Silk Spectre! Emelio Estevez as Dr. Manhattan! Anthony Michael Hall as Ozymandias! (Or even better, Kevin Bacon!) Matthew Broderick as the Nite Owl! You could even bring in Kelly LeBrock as the Original Silk Spectre!

That would certainly eplain the link to that 80's Watchmen cartoon trailer.

I always wanted David Caruso to play Rorschach, since, you know, he's dead inside as well.

Why is it that everything Jeffrey Dean Morgan is in he plays a dead guy? Supernatural, Greys Anatomy, Weeds...

So, we've gotten the Dark Knight, Watchmen and we'll have Wolverine soon...I guess we need a good, dark Punisher movie to round out comics violent past. Oh wait, they already did that movie...three times...

I really can't believe they're making a video game of the damned thing.

Okay, here we go...
