Michael Moran has a new Watchmen trailer on the Times’ Blockbuster Buzz. I am trying to maintain my cynicism and wariness, but its hard not to feel a little tingle of excitement watching it. I imagine a lot of you are feeling the same thing, worried about how an adaptation will be but part of you still wanting to see it. Do like the Rorschach quote at the end though, always thought that was a brilliant line – memorable as a quote but also a good insight into Rorschach’s mindset. Although part of me wants to see him do it Python style “they will look up and ask someone to save them… And I will say ‘ni!’”

Why oh why are they referring to themselves as Watchmen?
