It seems that the Watchmen film has pretty much cut audiences down the middle – half love the adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ masterpiece, while the other half think it deserves its own special place in hell for crimes against humanity. If you want a universal opinion on a Watchmen adaptation, then check out the fan-made Saturday morning cartoon. Hilarious because it’s fake, but if it was real, you just know that its creator would wind up just like Hollis Mason after the fanboys (and Alan Moore) were through with him… [via CrunchGear]
If you are a Watchmen fanboy you probably have seen it and know all about it by now. Here are Hitler’s thoughts about its ending. Spoiler alert: He talks about it in detail. [Watchmen coverage]
Here it is, Ozymandias’—one of the Watchmen—computer: A Macintosh SE/30, all in black including the keyboard and mouse. One of the many Apple/Steve Jobs references in the movie (spoilers). Click to see the close-up.

The movie may not be the comic book, but I loved Watchmen. Great eye candy, awesome soundtrack, and it’s packed with pop culture references—and some of those made me think that Ozymandias is Steve Jobs.
Who watches the Watchmen? I watched Watchmen (The Complete Motion Comic).
Even the iPhone is getting in on Watchmen madness as Watchmen: Justice is Coming (snicker) heads to the platform on March 6. How is this an MMO? Because it uses Amazon’s web services.
Here are a couple of exclusive featurettes showing new Watchmen behind-the-scenes footage, including Dr. Manhattan looking like a Tron dork and Silk Spectre looking like the foxy, yumtastic, kick-arse heroine she is. Spoilers ahead.
Is it a movie? Is it toys? Is it condoms and coffee? Is it science crap? Maybe Lego? A game? WTF is Watchmen? This video tries to answer it. And fails. [Gizmodo Watchmen Coverage]
James Kakalios was a consultant on The Watchmen (film), and here, he walks us through the physics of Dr. Manhattan. Summarised, he’s “not strictly correct from a physics point of view, but very cool nonetheless.”
