The teaser for Watchmen is now out. I hope it's good. For the uninitiated, Watchmen is considered the Citizen Kane of superhero graphic novels. It was written by Alan Moore and set in an alternate 1980s. The movie is being directed by Zack Snyder, who directed 300. I've read that he's actually setting it in the 80s (thus the Twin Towers still being on the Manhattan skyline). It does look like he's keeping the mood of the book and not pulling a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen on us, so I'm hopeful.
Update: Looks like they pulled it for some reason, and now they're saying it'll be up at 9pm PDT. (They say PST but I bet they're just being wrong. :P)

Oh boy, another movie based on a superhero comic book (sorry, graphic novel). I can't wait.
