Watchmen geekery

So I went looking for some Watchmen icons, excited as I am about the film.

I am most pleased by this one of Night Owl.

I also found this:

Which shows exactly why I got so excited watching the trailer. So many of the scenes from the trailer are shot exactly the same was as the comic, same placement, angle, everything. And the characters look so *right*.

Please, PLEASE, gods of movies, please let this be a good one.

Enjoy! I appreciated it so much more the 2nd time around though, there was so much I missed the fist time because I was so wrapped up in the story, 2nd time through I took my time and was just stunned by the complexity of it.

From what I read, 'the tales of the black freighter' was made separately as an animation that you can watch within the DVD when it comes out.
