Just an FYI for those of you joining our story already in progress: the reason I don’t get to the British box office till so late in the week is because the U.K. number don’t become publicly available till Wednesday, unlike the North America numbers, of which estimates come out on Sunday and actuals on … more…
It’s Thursday, and we’re gonna have some extra fun with Dream Cast this week. We’re gonna cast the classic graphic novel Watchmen… as if schlock producer Joel Silver’s production had actually gotten off the ground instead of the Zack Snyder-directed adaptation that just opened.

Probably the best three-hour version of the story that could be made…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I’m seeing this tonight, and I just saw this trailer for the first time. It looks even more promising than I was expecting. I hate when that happens, because then I get my hopes up, which means they only have further to crash when I’m disappointed. I … more…
It’s fake 80s-riffic! It’s viral-orama! At least someone knows how to fake this stuff right. (More cool Watchmen promo stuff at The New Frontiersman.)
