Grabbed my copy of the book, and you are SO RIGHT! I had totally forgotten all the 11th hour talk and the countdown references. That is cool. I am definitely going to re read the book before the flick. Thanks.

The demonic legacy of "The Matrix."

... or is it the demonic legacy of "The Six Million Dollar Man?"

Friday, July 25

11:55-1:00 Warner Bros.: Watchmen— A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, Watchmen is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock"— which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union—is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed-up —- but no less determined —- masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion—a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers —- Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity...but who watches the Watchmen? Guest appearances TBA. Hall H

Yeah, I can't wait for the Spaced panel and screenings!

Here's where I had my Spaced dvd set signed at last year's con.
