‘Watchmen’ Teaser Debuts to Utter Confusion, Slight Ear Pain
In a summer where we seemingly can’t go a full day without facing down some newer, denser wave of comic-book effluvia, the recently released Watchmen teaser is up there among the more nerve-rattling encounters we’ve endured. It may just be the destabilizing Billy Corgan whine, or poor Billy Crudup writhing in CGI anguish, or the idea that Zack Snyder is actually the “visionary director of 300” to which the ad copy refers. Or maybe it’s just that the only teasers that seem to captivate our attention any longer feature either vaguely racist chihuahua dance numbers, Brad Pitt aging backwards in Spanish or some permutation of men saving Earth — usually brooding and often in slow-motion. Maybe it’s just that we need to get out more. In any case, here you go. Did we mention Billy Corgan whines? Never mind. [Empire]
