The Watchman

Apparently I am the last one to even know about this, though in all fairness TLM's brother mentioned it in passing last summer when have about Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, etc. He said pretty specifically "The Watchmen is going to be better", and seemed pretty excited about it. From the few conversations I've had with him about comics I can see he's knowledgeable, so I perhaps should have pressed a bit more to find out why.

Well, a trailer came out this week for the upcoming "Watchmen" movie, and it got me excited enough to go out and buy the actual graphic novel (my first ever, if you can believe it). After having read maybe .1 of it and watching the trailer, I can now see why he said what he said.

Oh, and as if that weren't enough, there are more than 80 other movies in production that are based on either a comic or graphic novel. Nice.

Futurama Anime - DeviantArt

In my meandering across the web for yesterday's post about Futurama, I came across lots of images and stills from the series. I also came across some original artwork, like the image above by "Satomi-Chan", that portrayed the show's characters as if they were anime. I was particularly impressed with the less-bubbly work of "spacecoyote", and her vision of the Futurama world (and also the Simpsons world), as seen below. Both galleries, hosted at deviantart.com, are definitely worth checking out.
