I've not seen it as it hasn't been released as of yet, and yes I think it could be worth your buck but YMMV of course. Are these trick questions? hasn't it been released in the states yet? In Australia we get movies so late that we haven't even seen half of the movies nominated in the academy award...

Wow. I am halfway through my first read of Watchmen right now. That trailer in the OP looks very true to the feel of the book.

BUT - I really like the 80s setting of the novel. I'm guessing that it will be revamped for a 2009 setting??

I have a theory about Byron getting deletion/banning drunk sometimes. I've often seen him start by deleting a post which deserved it, but then he just goes on a rampage and even deletes posts which were positive.

Metropolis

Saw Metropolis at the local video store - had heard the name and nothing else so grabbed it... Amazing choreography, direction etc for the medium (silent film). The over-emphasis of emotion was sorta funny but I guess necessary due to the lack of sound - but I didn't really mind overall. The special...
