Fanboys, start your whingeings! First, Entertainment Weekly’s latest issue has a few large shots of some of the primary characters from the upcoming Star Trek movie. They go together to form this composite image; looks pretty cool except for the tattoos on the Romulan Nero. Could they make them any more tribal and generic?

Secondly, the trailer for our beloved Watchmen is live. I’m confused, though — it appears to be playing the characters completely straight, while the comic had them deliberately over-the-top. We’ll see how that plays out. I’m not sure that’s how I heard Rorschach’s voice, either, but these concerns are relatively minor considering how incredibly the trailer could have been. I never wanted Watchmen to get the 300 treatment (I hated that movie), but we’ll just have to see how it turns out.

Oops, we already posted the trailer last night. Watch it again!
I SAID WATCH IT AGAIN!
