Watchmen Trifecta: HD Trailer, DVD Feature, Penis
Posted at 3:45 PM Oct 24, 2008
• Here's the HD, much less fuzzy version of the Watchmen trailer/footage shown at Spike's Scream Awards and which made it everywhere on Monday. I doubt most of you will mind watching it again.
• Carla Gugino tells MTV's Splashpage that the first Nite Owl's biography Under the Hood was filmed as a documentary, to be included as an extra on the DVD. The biography made up an all-text bonus to the Watchmen comics, detailing the exploits of the Minutemen, the '50s group of superheroes of which the first Nite Owl and Gugino's Silk Spectre were members. As per Snyder's instructions, the text was religiously adhered to, and the rest was improvised in character. We'll see how that works out.
• Okay, if you checkout 0:19 in the HD trailer, you can totally see Dr. Manhattan's junk. Totally. This should put to rest anyone's doubts that Zack Snyder would be sparing the blue full-frontal rod (cough) in the movie. I'm really letting only pointing this out so I can relate the following exchange Television Without Pity's Zach Oat and I had on IM about a week ago, after Zach got to go to go to that 30-minute Watchmen press screening.
Zach: I just saw Dr. Manhattan's Lower Manhattan.
Rob: Doesn't that include the Meat-packing District?
Zach: Yes, as well as the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, unfortunately.
Rob: There's a terrible Billy's Crudup's asshole/New Jersey joke begging to be made, but I'm trying not to think too hard about it.
Good night, folks! Make sure to tip your waitresses!
Comments
Wasn't Dr. Mahattan shown full frontal in the original preview? I remember sitting in the Dark Knight, during the Watchmen preview, seeing lunch room scene and thinking "well, thank God it'll be an R rating".

Posted 10/24/2008 at 02:18:10 PMI wish they were releasing the DVD at the same time just to see the features after going to go see it in theaters.
Just say No to blue Wang.
I mean it I will go see the movie no matter what and it will be awesome, but I swear I will get put in jail because of all the d-bag high school kids talking about blue wangs the entire movie.

all my hopes are with the speedo at 1:08.
