May 27 2008Old Fashioney Photo of Minutemen from 'Watchmen'
In the world of Alan Moore's Watchmen, the main cast of the comic wasn't the first superhero team on the scene. Like New Kids on the Block to the Backstreet Boys, there was an earlier team called the Minutemen that both predicted and shaped the later costumed fighters of the comic. And, again like NKotB, their outfits are retrospectively funny to look at, as evidenced from the above shot from Zack Snyder's upcoming film adaptation. I have to say, the attention to detail is pretty impressive, as is the use of the Canon Elph's sepia setting. It's nice to know that even if this is a disaster, it will be an astoundingly accurate disaster.

On Empire magazine's site, they warned you of "Burly men in nut-huggers" before you clicked on the link- and I didn't want to click on any more then I did when I saw that, really, I'm just curious- but it's all hanging (suspended) out on THIS site

While I am and very devoted fan, and frequently introducing "Watchmen" to people who are STILL clueless that comic books are not just for kids, I have reservations that this movie will translate well.
I will keep an open mind though, as this pic shows that they are certainly trying their best to capture as much of the comic book's "essence" as possible.
Just my opinion, I have many
