06.25.09 WATCHMEN DIRECTOR’S CUT TO PLAY THEATERS
For one week only, you’ll be able to see Zack Snyder’s director’s cut of Watchmen in theaters, provided you live in L.A., New York, Minneapolis, or Dallas (whose D did Minneapolis suck for that? that’s still in Minnesota, right?).
The cut, which will have an additional 25 minutes of footage including the death of a supporting character [Hollis Mason, the original Nite Owl], will screen in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis and Dallas before the movie is released on Blu-ray and DVD on July 21.
The rollout will culminate with a special screening July 25 at Comic-Con that is designed to act as a BD-Live event, a Blu-ray feature that will allow any viewer in North America to watch the movie simultaneously as the audience at Comic-Con, see and hear Snyder comment on the movie, and even ask questions. The screening will then be archived and will be able to be accessed for future viewings. [THR]
Hopefully the extra 25 minutes will be mostly gratuitous, slow-motion violence. I’d be disappointed if it tried to explain some of the random stuff (like the bat-liger cameo) at the end of the film, which I found sort of delightfully inexplicable. I’ve heard the DVD also has a special function where you can make The Comedian murder a pregnant chick whenever things get boring, so that’s nice.

The World Will Look Up and Shout, “Minneapolis?!?” And I’ll Look Down and Whisper, “Eh…What can you do?”
What’s wrong with Minnesota eh?
Needs more tits.
And I just cleaned out my Watchmen joke drawer. Fuckin A.
Zac Efron will have a cameo.
That’s great for Blu Ray and DVD, but when does the HD DVD come out? I spent like $500 on that thing and I haven’t really been able to use it much.
On the regular DVD format I’m going to be running a simulation of the live event. It will consist of me in just sweatpants in my darkened apartment complaining that nobody sees my genius….
Clearly, that old guy wants that other guy to get off his bed so he can continue jerking off.
Ahhhhh, Watchmen. I still need to go see that.
I’m confused…how do I comment if it isnt about Zac Efron pretending to like vagina?
Don’t you hate it when you’re jerkin’ it and your landlord comes in to talk about the dog poop in your front yard?
