Just a heads up.
Why not just come out with it now I dunno. Methinks it is the ol' "sell extra copies for no apparent reason" strategy, as made famous by Hideo Kojima.

Don't buy Watchmen Director's Cut |

Apparently there is going to be a 5-disc Ultimate Cut later this year (Christmas I believe) with Tales of the Black Freighter interspersed, Under the Hood and
the Complete Motion Comic as bonus materials.

And worst case scenario that version doesn't come out, and you get this version for less moneys.

What's hilarious is the ad for the Ultimate Cut is on an INSERT INSIDE OF THE DIRECTOR'S CUT CASE.

Is it just me or did Watchmen go to DVD quickly?

Not really mav, its been since march when it was released in theaters I believe. About the right amount of months from theaters to home.

Eh, they want the DVDs to come out in Summer or Christmas. So instead of an 8-month turnaround they went with only a 4 month. But the Ultimate Cut would
probably be more around the 8-month turnaround then. They release DVDs when they can make the most money--if a movie comes out in summer the DVD comes out at
Christmas, if a movie comes out at Christmas the movie comes out in the summer. Watchmen was released at the wrong time of year anyway, no idea why they
didn't go for a May release, but I guess they didn't have any competition any way (plus I'm glad they didn't delay it I hate when they do stuff
like that).

I think certain people believed Watchmen would have had too much competition in a later release: Star Trek, X-Men, Transformers, some other shit. Every month
had a much-anticipated movie...Watchmen might not have had a chance...

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let
the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your
battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours.

It was pretty sweet in theaters, quite an experience. Plus you get to see the stupid idiots who brought their little kids sit in stupefied, awkward silence
throughout its 168 minute run-time!
EDIT: Well they might have left but anyway another batch was coming in with little kids AND their grandmother! Oh, hilarity! Anyway it was actually not very packed, but that's probably because I go to matinees precisely to avoid crowds and for cheaper tickets. You'd be amazed at how few people show up for the Saturday 1PM showing. ANOTHER EDIT: Also this Ulimate Cut is supposed to cost more money than the regular DVD/Blu-Ray Extended Cut so if the extras and Black Freighter interspersement don't float your boat or whatever you COULD buy the regular Special Edition. If you really want to. WANT TO ROLL HIM AROUND A BIT? NO, NO, IT'S OKAY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE, AFTER ALL.

Hmm, I think I just might. Not sure, still deciding....I don't have that Black Freighter and haven't seen it yet. I'm leaning towards just getting
this one and maybe later finding a cheap copy online of the Black Freighter. It won't include any new scenes or footage thats not in this version right?

So how's Dr. Manhattan's big blue dong? Is it more on the big side, or more on the blue side?

Well, watching it in IMAX, with it pretty much shoved in your face, so I think that answers your question.

And how retarded was Silk Spectre? Was she as worthless as she was in the graphic novel?

People overemphasize Manhattan's penis' role in the film quite a bit. Most of the time it was just sort of there and blending into the rest of him, as
he is entirely bright blue, after all. Plus he's CGI, I don't know why people are getting worked up about a CGI penis.
There was only one scene where it flopped around and it was only for a second, near the end. When he was confronting Ozzy, in fact, which was pretty funny, actually. I think that would sort of make your argument seem ridiculous but Manhattan pulled it off. Also, Silk Spectre's uselessness was only topped by Nite Owl's uselessness, so yes.
