The Lovely, Screwed-Up Ladies of Watchmen
Watchmen Exclusive: Girls Kick Ass
There’s a new Watchmen video, and rather than focusing on how close the movie will adhere to the graphic novel, this one is just about the chicks. It’s all about the two Silk Spectres, the elder play by Carla Gugino, the younger by Malin Akerman. Other than seeing Akerman in her Silk Spectre costume a bit, it’s not exactly a T&A-xtravaganza, but it does show a few new shots, as well as Billy Crudup in his hilarious Dr. Manhattan blue-LED full-body-suit. At any rate, it’s certainly nerd candy enough for me to end the day with it. Enjoy!
