Judge. Jury. Executioner.

My anticipation of the upcoming Watchmen is tempered with cautious retraint; I've been burned by comic book adaptations one time too many (X-Men: The Last Stand, ARE YOUR EARS BURNING? Good, that's because I lit them on fire. Jerk!). With each new trailer, it seems more and more like your standard, "slow-mo walking, look mournfully toward the heavens" kind of superhero pic, and I get sad, and consider writing Alan Moore to tell him he had the right idea

However. 

This video, depicting a PSA about the Keene Act, forced me to get my geek on and yes, GET HAPPY. I can now say that I am officially "anticipating" Watchmen. STAY TUNED for the next exciting installment of me passing judgement on movies I haven't seen! 



If you don't know what this refers you, stop reading. Go buy Watchmen. Read it. What, you think you're too cool for school? Well, I've got newsflash for you, Walter Cronkite. YOU AREN'T. You are nothing without your robot car-- NOTHING.
