Saw a tweet by John Hodgman (@hodgman): Re http://bit.ly/179m8g what’s worse: the deception. Many will presume David made these ads and is getting paid. Not true. And I’m scratching my head…”deception”??? Who gives a fuck? Why does this matter? David Rees didn’t really do anything original to begin with. It would be nice if Jamba [...]

Also, Dave Gibbons has revealed early character concepts for the Watchmen, including a significantly more ridiculous-looking Rorschach. Check this out too: Watching The Watchmen – Titan Books @ Comic-Con San Diego 2008

Dragonize Metamedia has uncovered evidence that the Watchmen Universe’s Golden Age era superheroes, The Minutemen, will appear in the upcoming movie adaptation of the graphic novel. Exciting, I know!!
Excerpt:
The overlap between the GTA IV video game and Watchmen movie fan-bases should be fairly large, but it doesn’t follow that they should use the same musical score.

Looks good to me, but I’ve only read Watchmen once.

The forthcoming film adaptation (directed by Jon Favreau!?) of the red and gold metal hero is getting on my nerves. The marketing campaign is an old-school media onslaught, not the type of viral, underground, organic thing that Cloverfield taught us is the future of advertising. I am a big fan of the 80s and 90s [...]

The release date of the much anticipated (by me) WATCHMEN movie (which wrapped shooting in February) coincides with my favorite day of the year. Coincidence!? I think not!! I would like to thank Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. for doing me this honor…

From the new stills on its IMDb page, it looks like Watchmen (2009) will truly capture the atmosphere of the graphic novel (or comic book miniseries, depending on when you read it). The street scenes are dressed to reflect the era and location in which the story takes place; New York City, 1985. You may [...]

Postmodernism continues to reach out and touch us from the grave, but at least it has developed a sense of humor over the last 10 years. Brendan Tang is the Canadian artist who realized china and manga are two great tasted that go great together.
