Dr. Manhattan Opens a Practice in London
Darn you, ridiculous Watchmen premiere promotions! Here I am, trying to not talk about the movie, since it’s practically all I’ve done for the last three months, and then you have to go and create a giant Doctor Manhattan standing on the river Thames. I believe he was created by a combination of a special projector and a great deal of water hoses,, but as you can see in the video, although the good doctor to towered over the British bystanders, he’s not so detailed that you can make out Lower Manhattan (let alone the Meat-Packing District). Still, kinda cool, kinda wacky.
