• Hi Topless Robot. I'm on the PR team looking after the launch of Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter. We really like your blog and wonder whether you would like to get in touch with us about an exciting project we are working on in conjunction with the DVD release. If you are interested - email me: freelance@shinecom.com Thanks!

• The absolute best part of this? THE FUCKING HERBAL ESSENCES HYDRALICIOUS SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL DIRECTLY PRECEDING A TALE ABOUT A RAFT MADE OF CORPSES.

• I heard the sharks eat his giant fish. Wait, that's The Old Man and the Sea.

• So he also begins in Disneyland?

• I heard at the end of the Black Freighter animation he ends up right where he begins in a sense. Or maybe I read some other Watchmen.

• I heard that at the end of the Black Freighter animation he ends up in Disneyland.

• "How are they going to work <i>The Black Freighter</i> into a Watchmen movie?" has long been a thorn in the side of seeing this film come to pass. I can't tell you how grateful I am that Zack Snyder and company are giving us these side projects to try and bring the whole thing to life instead of just throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

• Arrrgh! It's geo-blocked for U.S. viewers only! What, is the Watchmen and all the ancillary products not being released in Canada or anywhere else in the world? First Hulu, now this! What it going on with these ridiculous media companies drawing lines around the globe like they post-WW1 colonial powers? It is, to say the least, pissing me off. /rant
