I love little clips like this. You really get a feel for this movie and just how big of a film it's going to be.

new level of art... seriously doubt it, new level of marketing I can honestly say that it's not so (at least so far).

First piece of marketing that is at least done carefully, has some pretty nice details, and does not feel like some rushed piece of crap, unlike most marketing that has been done with this movie.

I wonder how they got it to look so authentic. I mean everything but the part where Manhattan takes apart the tank.

That was great! I wasn't sure what it was for a minute.

Noobmike: you are a very negative person. Every comment you post is always bitchin about this or whining about that. Is it that difficult to confess that something just might be... dare I say... fun or cool.

I said that this one is quite good, although have you seen most of the marketing for this movie? It is some [frick]ed up shit, and yes I don't like to be swept by what the media tells me to think I like to judge for myself, if that is being negative well then my picture must be next to negative in the dictionary.

And I am willing to be proven wrong, if there is a new level of marketing for Watchmen I don't see it, but if any of you do, please explain it to me and we can discuss it.

wow didnt mean to post that other one. any ways im sure they will have most of the side bits at the end of each chapter on the the dvd. i can just sense snyder havng all the little goodies for us as it is an attention craved movie. probably see two more of the same ads before the film. i am just glad the actor hit that line well as it is one of my favorites." Supermans alive...and hes's American".

I have faith in Snyder. He kept 300 like 98% close to the book.
and I know some of you guys feel like this movie might look silly, or not live up to the book..... I'm counting on it. I don't think Snyder would willingly let it be released if it was drastically different.

i just checked the movie website and they completely updated it. there is footage of each caracter that plays with separate dialogue that is without a doubt taken directly from the comic. i think there is still a chance of the squid!!!!!!!!! it laurie's page, there is dialogue from when she visits her mother at the end with dan. "People's live take them strange places" "I want you to know that you never did any wrong by me" and remember how all those people from the screening said that the scene with dan laurie and sally had been cut? well why is it in the film then eh?!?! also there is a clip i sam a while back where a green dressed laurie is hugging her mother. i think that there is more happening here than originally thought eh?
