Don't know if any of you care, but here it is. And Fox, stop trying to fuck up my life. The Watchmen better fucking come out, and you better drop Keanu as Spike. Got it?

Clerks helmer Kevin Smith - who apparently was invited to see the film at Snyder’s invitation shortly after Comic-Con last month - has posted an unabashed rave for Watchmen over at MySpace: “I saw Watchmen. It’s fucking astounding. The Non-Disclosure Agreement I signed prevents me from saying much, but I can spout the following with complete joygasmic enthusiasm: Snyder and Co. have pulled it off. Remember that feeling of watching Sin City on the big screen and being blown away by what a faithful translation of the source material it was, in terms of both content and visuals? Triple that, and you’ll come close to watching Watchmen.”
FUCKING FOX!

Who watches Watchmen? It won't be you, if 20th Century Fox has its way (at least not until Fox gets a taste of Warner Bros.' action).
In February, 20th Century Fox sued Warner Bros. over the rights to the DC Comics Watchmen franchise -- insisting that Fox still had a claim on Watchmen after failing to develop the graphic novel into a film.
Fox sought an injunction to stop production until the rights dispute was cleared. But, these big court cases can drag, and director Zack Snyder hustled Watchmen along -- getting a three-hour first cut of the film in the can before any legal action could be taken.
A federal court in Los Angeles on Monday refused to dismiss the Fox lawsuit -- meaning Fox can proceed with an attempt to shut down Snyder's movie in court. The ruling offered no comment on the quality of Fox's case or its potential for success, but clearly the judge found enough merit in the rights claim to let Fox's lawyers take it up a notch.
Fox, don't fuck this up for me. I need/want my Rorschach!!! You're ruining Bebop for me, at least let me have my Watchmen. :(
