Who Watches Saturday Morning Watchmen?
Posted on March 9th, 2009 by
This has been around a while but I just caught the parody of both 80’s Saturday Morning TV shows (a lost tradition) and the Watchmen (note Rosrchach playing with doggies). Really funny stuff.
I haven’t seen the Watchmen movie. I am a geek, I’ve read the book several times (put me in the “unfilmable” category) and while I admired 300 I’m not a fan of Director Zach Snyder. I figured what I loved about the book wouldn’t be in the movie, and that’s the layered meta-style. The stories within stories. Ah, I’ll see the DVD and from what I hear, this one is pretty violent stuff. Hurm
(Simon! I can’t seem to embed a movie here . . .)

Read the book, have you? I love the emphasis here on friendship, the Watchmen were all emotionally stunted (even Dr. Manhatten). Showing Rorshach as the “wacky” one is just too perfect. Also love that the weird genetic tiger has been morphed into Snarf.

I recently came across this video as well (through Nodwick/PS238 creator Aaron Williams’ site). Pretty funny stuff, even though I’ve only read the novel once I think, and that was over a decade ago…

I haven’t read the novel, or seen the movie. A little violent. But, i’ve heard what it’s about.

I can’t help but find the part in the video where the Comedian is trying to get a kiss from Silk Spectre II creepy, for reasons obvious to anyone who has read/seen Watchmen.
