I know it’s the Christmas season, and I know this isn’t a very “Christmas-y” post, but I was walking past my local theater the other day and I finally saw a poster for the upcoming movie, The Watchmen and I just had to write about it cuz it looks wicked.

The trailer for this movie has been floating around for a long time now; I’ve watched it a dozen times, and I have to say, I am beyond impressed.  FINALLY, an action trailer than isn’t cut to a techno song. Instead, they used a b-side track by the Smashing Pumpkins, which gives the trailer an awesomely dark and sinister feel. Totally cool, and completely refreshing. Please, no more techno…

Based on the classic Watchmen comic book series, this isn’t just another superhero Film.  The FX look absolutely amazing, the story looks nice and dark; it’s definitely setting the bar high for the final movie. But if it turns out to be crap, they should just release the trailer on DVD, because I’ll buy it! Check it out:
