Forget Christmas, THIS is the day I can't wait for!

I've just made the most pleasing discovery - I thought Watchmen was due to be released on 3 June, but as it turns out the release date is 5 March.

Yes, yes, I've been waiting for 20 years for this so three months shouldn't make a difference, but hot damn, this is gonna be good!

They've also made a dvd release to go alongside the cinema release.

Look up The Tales Of The Black Freighter on YooToob!!!!!!!!

Looks like they have both bang on!!!!!!!!!!!

I can`t wait to see it!
Zack Snyder is very good director, and his two latest films (Dawn of the Dead and 300) are masterpieces of it`s own.
So I`m completely positive about his adaptation of greatest graphic novel of all time!:thum bsup:

hope the plot does not spend too much time on the watchmen's angst about wether to wear an anti magnetic watch in a nuclear plant against the benefits of a submariner. Do they go into outer space? That would be another hour arguing about - is an Omega Speedy better than a GMT?
The possibilities of a follow up are boundless. Which watch is the best stealth watch when I want a quick change in the phone booth. What goes best with my lycra suit a coke or pepsi? How do I set my daytona to measure my speed when I fly backwards around the earth?
Hope they don't come across Mr Bond they will end up gossiping about watches while the world burns.

Really, Martin, that's just not acceptable. You've talked about going into space and failed to mention the perennial debate about whether your automatic watch will wind itself in zero gravity?!

Shameful, just shameful.

I love the special effects their creators did for the movie 300 ! I bet the special effects of Watchmen is going to be one thrill ride! Can't wait either!
