I'm betting they'll still suck though. I mean, what good has come out of Denmark besides Viggo Mortensen and a setting for Shakespear plays?

Moichandising! Moichandising, where the real money from the movie is made! Watchmen-the T-shirt, Watchmen-the Coloring Book, Watchmen-the Lunch box, Watchmen-the Breakfast Cereal, Watchmen-the Flaaaaaaaaame Thrower. (You too can be like the Comedian, kids!) And last but not least, Watchmen the doll. [pulls string on Rorschach doll] "42nd Street: Women's breasts draped across every billboard, every display, littering the sidewalk. Was offered Swedish love and French love, but not American love. American love; like coke in green glass bottles, they don't make it anymore." Uh.. ask you parents for one today? Actually, considering I have a 18inch talking Leonidas do.. er.. action figure as well as a smaller V for Vendetta one, I have to confess some hypocrisy there. What better way to discuss a book / movie about fighting authority than paying AOL Time Warner for a toy made by Chinese morlock labor? Huzzah. Hello, my name is Xenos. I'm an addict to these petroleum products known as action figures. Also, as a side note, most of these simplified downloadable games are crap. Hurm. When do we get Atlas Shrugged or Catcher in the Rye as a mini-game I can play on my cellphone? Actually, I just thought of a better quote for this news.
