Maybe I'm just really out of touch with joe-moviegoer, but I don't understand why they can't use the giant squid...

Are they afraid the CG will look too cheesy or something?

You are out of touch. No one will get the idea of the squid...heck I didnt even get it until I re-read it.

People will be like "WTF?" and thats the point...but while thats the point, most people will think its stupid, and pass it off as crap.
 
So is anyone else going to see QUANTUM OF SOLACE this Friday just to see the new WATCHMEN trailer? :banana

I don't go to ball games for the hot dogs and nuts. As much as I'd like to join you in your excitement for Watchmen, No, I'm going to see Quantum of Solace for Quantum of Solace.
 
Oh, I liked CASINO ROYALE a lot and I'm looking for to QOS just fine. But I know the trailer will overshadow it for me. Hell, the first one overshadowed TDK the first time I saw it. Truth.

Anyway, this won't be like the time in Nov '98 when I went to see the first PHANTOM MENACE trailer in front of WATERBOY and then left the theater once the actual movie started (which of course I paid to see). :lol

Quite possibly the coolest ^^^^ing movie poster EVER:

:rock :rock :rock :rock
 
5 more new posters were just unveiled. ALL are awesome (with The Comedian one kicking all kinds of righteous ass... and I'm liking SS's booty shot :naughty):

I must own all of these as soon as possible. :lecture :rock
 
They're all cool, but there's something about the Comedian poster that's bugging me; If that flamethrower is supposed to be spewing a jet of flame like that, wouldn't his thumb have to be on the trigger thingy? (I have no functioning knowledge of flamethrowers)

These are all photoshopped, but it's obviously apparent the work they did on Silk Spectre's chest. Malin Ackerman isn't that...big (watch Harold and Kumar for proof).

They got it right. Once it's lit it will do that for a while and when the trigger is pulled is when it truly fires and the flames project all over the place. Trust me, he couldn't light his cigar with the trigger pulled and the thrower fully activated. He'd melt his face off. :lol Blow torches are very similar.

They didn't do Photoshop work on her chest. It's that big in the film. Probably a wonder bra or something else that takes the boobs and pushes them together and up. Watch the slo-mo shot of her walking (and bouncing) down the stairs in the trailer. They're quite, eh, full looking. :naughty
 
Ahhh ok, that makes sense. I can't wait to see Comedian and all those other posters lined up and framed at my local movieplex. It'd be cool to see what the cardboard display will look like too.

Sure, like I need any more encouragement to watch the trailers again. *watches it again* Ok I see 'em now :D
 
That Silk Spectre poster is phenomenal....Anyone find these in HQ so I can make a Wallpaper?

You and me both! :rock

Not yet. But as soon as I find them in hi-res, I'll be sure to share here if no one else finds them first.

Also, we all need to keep our eyes and ears peeled for when someone has these for sale 1-sheet size (along with the previous two posters released last week). I'll be getting all of them. :rock
 
There is a reason why Ozy looks like that in the movie. They purposely designed him to remind people of Schumacher Batman and other 90's superhero films. Remember, this will be a deconstruction of superhero MOVIES.

I'll admit I know nothing about Watchmen. No interest in reading any graphic novels and the movie clips haven't inspired me to learn more.

Along comes IrishJedi saying this will deconstruct superhero movies. I'll admit my interest is finally peaked. I might need to research a bit further.

Thanks IrishJedi :gun

You're welcome. :duff And, of course, the graphic novel itself is a masterpiece and perfect deconstruction of the superhero comic medium. That's why it makes perfect sense for the movie to be a deconstruction of THAT medium. Indeed, even "The Dark Knight" can't be taken as seriously after this comes out.

Anyway, good news! Hi-res images of all of the posters now available:
















 
You're killing me with these posters I can't buy!

Any idea on someone selling these?
 
Someone undoubtedly will. And I'll let you know, 'cause I'm getting ALL of them.

Hopefully you find a good deal and post it. I want 'em all too! :D


Still happy about the EX Watching Watchmen headsup - I would've just gotten the reg. :chew
