One small favor that I would like to ask of everyone, if they wouldn't mind? A lot of people ( me included ) will not be able to see this movie the first 2-3 days that it's out...time, money, etc. In fact, there are a LOT of films that are coming out this year, that I will have to wait a week or so before I can go see them. So, if all of you would'nt mind...could you not reveal any details of these movies for at least the first week? I know that a lot of us are gonna go bonkers over a bunch of them...but, times are tight...I've been pinching pennies so hard, ol' Abe's squealing louder than one of JrMcD's sheep!
On another sight I go to, one of the members blabbed the post-credits scene from X-Men 3 the first day the movie was out...and got jumped on by half the members there for ruining the suprise for them. I know that we are all adults here...and I'm trying not to be a bother with this...But I like suprises, too!
We now return you to our regulary scheduled thread, which is already in progress...

I agree with Dar on this one.
I strongly dislike Rorschach referring to the group as "Watchmen".
I do not think that anywhere in the TP are they EVER referred to as "The Watchmen". If they are ever "officially" called anything, it is:
(1) Minutemen, and even that name is restricted to what the original group called themselves (i.e. in the Hooded Justice / Mothman / Dollar Bill / Stiletto days), or
(2) Crimebusters, which was the failed group that tried to come together before the Keene Act forced them to disband.
As an aside note, the nuclear explosion seen in NY in the trailer really is starting to bug me. I hope that this is a scene indicating what might happen if the US and Russia start a nuclear war, and NOT a scene from the true climax (i.e. no squid). Fans of the TP will know what I mean.
