   Standing in the dark, rainy shadows of a city alleyway, I spied the   
   Replicant SanFrancisco2019 covertly transmitting a message to renegade   
   friends in alt.fan.blade-runner.  Tracking...

   Woah!  Awesome!  Watchmen - the most fantastic graphic novel ever!   
   And now a film with a good director.  And obviously some money spent   
   on special effects.  And ... it's coming out ... oh ... almost a year   
   from now ...  ummm.... I'll just have to contain my excitement a   
   little...   
      
   But seriously, the one thing I want to see that I cannot get from the   
   trailer is that the film truly follows a good story.  Doesn't matter   
   what the source material is unless the film is true to the essence of   
   it and follows that decent plotline.
