WATCHMEN: Fox Says, "No Settlement! We want a Delayed Release Date"

So it's already went from "stop the release" to "delay the release".

It will come out on time.

Just watch.

Yea, I have to agree with Doc. It will be out. There's no way this ISN'T going to come out. Even if WB has to give up ALL the profits and just back what they put in. It will come out. Even if it doesn't...Read the book again. Or comics if you have them. But this movie will make ti to the movies, then DVD then toys and games and blah blah blaaaaaaaaaaah. Just like everything else.

Oh here we go!!!!!

All this over exposure is going to make me not care about the Watchmen movie... I'ma stop stressing about it. Fox and WB can suck my... Well, u know. The fans make the world go round, not these Studio dorks, Polotics and comics don't mix jerk offs!

i never said you couldn't watch it i just said that fox is trying to gain back fans by using wolverine i mean come on x-men 3 was good but it was still disappointing

Agreed Ror. Screw that boycotting crap. Not only is that completely retarded, but it's not going to accomplish anything whatsoever. I see no point in it. Does that mean you're going to stop watching Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Arrested Development etc etc? Burn all of your TCFHE DVD's? Block Fox, FX and whatever other channels they have from your television? Because if you're not going to do all of that, why even bother boycotting any movies?

Wolverine is going to RAAAAAAWK! I have stated previously, i'm not commenting on the Watchmen anymore, but I think I broke that already, so i'll say this. IT'S GOING TO COME OUT! Re's. Ya think they're REALLY going to put this one on permanent hiatus? Or is the work of the magically endowed Mr Alan Moore? Are there pirate ghosts involved in this? He put a curse on it, that MUST be why it's not working out right, right?

PISSHAW! Whatever, i'm going to see Wolverine, and when it comes out, i'm going to see Watchmen. Whatever Fox makes in the meantime that looks cool, i'll go see that too. SO BOYCOTT away, all 142 of you guys. I'll be watching a good movie.

That's amazing Doc. While I was writing, you were writing pretty much the same thing. Imagine that. How right we must be.

New Terminator movie. The show on Fox plus that, plus NFL playoffs, plus Simpsons, plus American Idol (hey laugh but it's only the biggest show on TV)

At least get creative like the Jericho people. Start mailing Fox smiley face anything. Buttons, hats, shirts, sheets of paper, bumper stickers, etc. Do something they can see in person. Ratings on a page will not matter.

GAAA!!!! THATS THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD DRFEVER!!! You must realy have your PhD or something. Im going to go get a smily face button, then poke my finger to put some blood on it (on second thought, I'm going to sacrifice a Fox executive, all his blood, just to make sure) and send it in right now! I mean it! right now!

we could kill ryan seacrest and place his head in the bed of a fox executive like they did the horse head thing in godfather that might make them drop the lawsuit

Poor Alan Moore must be tearing his hair out right now.

LOL, I find it extremely funny how the discussion is now centered on evil evil Fox, and not the stupidity of WB, Larry Gordon and the legal team behind the movie.

The article says that both parties will benefit the most from a settlement, so it will most probably come out. No company will sit very long on a 120 million dollar investment, even if the investment was made by their competitors. Guess we'll have to wait untill Jan 20th to know the next chapter.

Somehow I have made a mental image of Larry Gordon as one of the dumbest people on the planet.

WB does Superman, no amount of Fox screw ups can ever top those abortions.

The real target does in fact need to be WB, they dropped the ball on this. In fact..start sending sports gloves and tacky finger rub. You know to help them from dropping the ball again!

Finally exposed WHO's watching the WATCHMEN??? in WB.......its FOX all along, waiting like THE WOLVERINE...

I still think Allen Moore is using his voodoo.

Fox is scared that Watchmen will destroy Wolverine in the theaters. All they care about are sales. They hate competition and they think if they stop it from coming out, everyone will see their movie instead and they won't have anything to worry about. God I hope Wolverine tanks. Those bastards deserve no less.

this is lame!! LAME LAME LAME!!!! I'v already got the watchmen's poster up in my room... we in the movie industry call it a "one Sheet" anyway NOW I JUST HAVE TO LOOK AT THE POSTER FOR LONGER!!! F*@K fox F*@K WB F*@K everyone.. ok well not everyone.. JUST THOSE F*@Kers out there stopping the movie from coming out.. money hungry pigs... make me sick.. ................................................

Mankind out

"I am trying to give a name to the force that set them in motion." DR. MANHATTAN (1985).........the name is FOX...the motion..to Seek Order Delaying Watchmen Release

A direct boycott of Fox is actually silly, however, boycotting Fox's advertisers is a different story. Fox's television networks are its cash cow, movies lose too much money on a regular basis. So you find the main advertisers for Fox's biggest television shows, Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Idol etc., and you inform them by letter that you are boycotting their products based of Fox's decision to delay the Watchmen release. Shadow was right, a picket line outside Fox studios will result in the classic overzealous stereotype of the 'comic nerd', and it's not going to change much because none of us control capital influx into the Fox coffers. But the advertisers do, they control a lot of money going into Fox and can put pressure on them from the inside. Now one little boycott letter isn't going to cut it, there needs to be enough to let advertisers know it will hurt their business. These companies are already seeing a loss of product sales due to the economy, they don't want to lose anymore profits, and they can put direct pressure on Fox to speed up the legal proceedings, or simply take the distribution rights already afforded them by the court. If the advertiser boycott even has a chance of working, Fox is looking at losing a lot more money from advertisers than they would make from the Watchmen. This should also get around the Family Guy/Simpsons issue some of you are having, watch the shows, boycott the advertisers it's that easy.
If anyone is interested in an advertiser boycott post on this and I'll get you a list of advertisers to write to. Despite some people nay-saying, boycotts actually work if done properly.

I've been skippin' the FOX movies this whole time even though people called me retarded. If I'm gonna take the boycott thing to the next level, I'd have to know that there will be others doing the same.

I got it! Instead of sending the Watchmen smiley face to FOX, we send a picture of the president of the company with the Watchmen blood smear on his face that reads, "Who Watches the FOX Man?" below it. Ha! That'd be great!

And ya, they're probably just eliminting the competition for Wolverine and will have it released after Wolverine is out of theaters. And they'll just happen to squeeze as much money as they can out of it along the way.
