A comedian died last night, and nobody cares.

So in a few short months, The Watchmen is going to be upon us.
If you don't know, this movie has been a really long time coming, and many people thought it would never see the light of day.
The Watchmen, for those that don't know, was a twelve issue comic book series that started in 1986. The story is dense, dark, layered, and in many people's opinions the finest comic book series ever crafted. I would have to agree, there are very few storylines that even compare to it.
I'm not going to give you a run down of the plot, because if you're really interested you'll pick it up anyway and read it before the movie comes out.
Basically, the movie is going to be every geek/fanboy's wet dream come true. If you know anything about the series then you know that so far from the looks of everything Zac Snyder has captured so many images from the comic book it doesn't even make sense. Every time I watch one of the trailers or see new footage I'm seeing something that I didn't see before.
I guess I'm just caught up in the marketing of the whole thing. There's a lot of cool things coming out in relation to the movie. A friend of mine just downloaded an app for his ipod touch that has all this content from the movie, as well as a countdown clock to when the movie comes out.
If you enjoy a good story then you should pick it up, I mean it was ranked on Time's 100 greatest novels list. That's gotta be saying something right?
