    Whoa, whoa, whoa. A first look at The Green Lantern? As in, the upcoming live-action film? Or the upcoming animated film (that I'm just now hearing about for the first time)?

    They did not specify. You must ask yourself, though: would it really make a difference? You know you're going to buy it anyway. :P

    Ok, I've asked myself, and it turns out I'll probably rent the DVD to (1) see the GL preview and (2) keep up my geek cred, even though I have nil interest in the Black Freighter movie. I ended up skimming those sections of the book. The allegories--if any--weren't obvious enough for my simple little brain.

    A good man beaten, robbed, and abandoned by bad men is driven mad, and has to become a bad man in order to do what he believes is necessary to keep his family and township safe. He's virtuous to a fault, even when he's delusionally murdering his neighbors. Evil creates evil out of good men. You may believe you're doing right when doing wrong.

    Well put.

    So they want us to shell out an extra 19.95, huh? I don't know about that. Is it our fault that they couldn't find a way to put a a part of the graphic novel that essentially holds the story together on a second disc once the film's DVD is released? I say no. So why do I feel like this is an attempt to take some more of my money? Ahh, hell, I will probably end up seeing it. Haha. I love Watchmen.

    Oh. That makes sense, then.

    So it's not about how shipwrecks suck?

    So if I were to buy each Watchmen related DVD, I'd buy this one on March 24th, the motion comic on the 6th and then the actual movie in September-ish? Didn't Snyder say there was going to be a Watchmen DVD that had ALL of the included? Like a collector's edition?

    As good as it looks, ill probably wont buy it when release. i dont want to regret myself later when
    a special edition package were the motion comics, the black freightener, and the movie are together.
