Even I’m Getting Sick of Watching the Watchmen
And yet they keep giving me reasons to post them. This one is supposed a news broadcast from 1970 looking at “10 years of Dr. Manhattan,” and I’m kind of a sucker for a well-recreated ’70s set piece. It’s very well done. The only other interesting thing is it show a brief clips of a Doc Manhattan cartoon, which looks like it could have giving Clutch Cargo a run for its money in terms of crappiness. All in all, fun, but hardly essential. So if you’re start to get annoyed, you can skip it. Just sayin’. (Via /Film)
