Here’s the latest Watchmen clip to filter through the Intar-webs. From MSN, it’s an actual conversation scene instead of the blow-em up real good stuff we’ve seen previously.

Dear Abby: I’m probably one of 10 comic fans over 30 who have never read Watchmen. (Blasphemy you say!) Of course the intrigue and movie has me curious. What should I do? Cram the Watchment trade paperback prior to going to the movie? Or go the theater and pick up the book when I’m done?
Brother129, I’d recommend picking up the TPB. It’s just $20, is easily accessible, and will at least give you the basic plot. Subsequent readings will reveal more to you, but one should be enough until the movie.
@Brother
Read it before the movie!! I don’t think the movie can take or add anything to it. But just be open to changes in the movie and that it’s not going to be the same panel to panel.
I have to admit, I was not on board with the casting of Goode, but he doesn’t seem so bad here. Yeah, the heavy makeup to make him look older is over the top but it’s the thought that counts. He looks a little more Thin White Duke than Smartest Man in the World, but I think I can forgive it.
I’m fine with them taking things and mixing them up. I’m fine with removing the squid. I am not fine with Matthew Goode’s elocution. I could barely understand a word he said.
