Defamer passes on the confirmation of Newsarama’s speculation that the Watchmen movie will remain true to Alan Moore and David Gibbons’ vision by featuring plenty of full frontal Dr. Manhattan.
Or “lower Manhattan” as the punning goes. I suspect that like George Clooney’s Bat-nips, the blue shlong is a rubber-plastic mold. Nonetheless, this talisman penetrates the anti-penis barrier erected by Hollywood’s longstanding fears of an American puritanical backlash. Hold your head high, little brother. Stand tall and proud.

Well, I hope they deliver a good movie that remains true to the essence of the story. I worry about the “true to the original” fetish, because often “true” is just “slavish” adaptation. The first two Harry Potter movies jump to mind.
