More Video Things of the 'Watchmen'

January 7, 2009 Comments

I wouldn't normally do this, but since you've been so good at keeping up with your chores lately, here's another Watchmen video. They're running out of featurette ideas, so this one is three minutes on how they dressed up some people in old-fashioney superhero clothes to take the above photo. Warning: it's probably a spoiler for the special features on disc 3 of the DVD set.

Were the black & white parts meant to look like they're from the '40s or from a long lost Pearl Jam video?
