Enough of this introspective crap.
If, like me, you love your films, you might have noticed the trailer kicking about for the Zach Snyder directed Watchmen.
Zach directed the brilliant "Dawn of the Dead," remake, (seriously... running fucking zombies), and the love poem to the male physique that was "300." Both are class films that employed a unique visual style and narrative flair, that showed there was great things to come from this relatively young director.
Watchmen is an adaption of the titular graphic novel, one that I've not read but which is routinely described as "the greatest ever." The synopsis is an original take on Superhero cannon in that they are now an intrinsic part of everyday society, the fantastic twist is that the protagonists are not embowed with superpowers as such, (kinda like Fathers 4 Justice I suppose).
What really grabbed my attention with this trailer, (apart from the overuse of slow motion), is the fantastic use of the Smashing Pumpkins tune "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning." This was actually written for "Batman & Robin" the cinematic equivalent of a kick in the balls. It's ironic that from such a celluloid disaster should come such an EPIC piece of music. Not only does this song seems to fit this trailer perfectly but i think it actually carries it and gives it much more of an impact.
This song needs to be heard, give yourself an audio orgasm here.
