Oh, so it should be "Who watches Watchmen?", huh?
And Jen's right. I am a product of the American educational system.

Not at all.
You're just confusing Juvenal's quote with the actual title of the book/movie and name of the group. But I guess that does happen a lot and many people are inclined to say "The Watchmen" (for the reasons Jen explained). But it would be like calling EPISODE III "The Revenge of The Sith". Or "The Return of The Jedi". Whether it sounds right or not, it's just not the title. And that's partly because many other languages don't use "the", "a", "an", etc to the extent Americans do.
Lesson learned.
Thanks, Carl.
My favorite member of THE Watchmen is Rorschach. Take your nitpick and shove it.
The Watchmen looks like a Batman ripoff with the dude from Iron Man...he's in every movie! STUPID!
Eh. It doesn't really matter. The film (and all of the awesome ancillary tie-ins) already got made. Whether it makes only $10 or $250 million all that will matter to me is whether or not I like it.As silly as that sounds to "comic book people," that is the exact sentiment I'm hearing from friends that know little about comic books, which is the majority of the public. I know I'm in the minority here but I really don't see this film doing all that well.
Believe it or not, Veidt does have his fans. You gotta go to some of the WATCHMEN boards to find them, but they're out there... and quite vocal.

Yep. And box office has never been the best indicator of quality anyway.That's probably the best attitude for a fan to have, people often get really defensive when a beloved comic isn't received as they wish. No matter what happens, as long as you're a Watchmen fan you should be very happy right now.
