When Fanboys Rule The World

The fanboy. They come in different shapes and sizes, many varied complexions and in at least two different sexes (yes ladies you too can be a fan boy).

Watchmen

 

As the doomsday clock ticks ever closer to March 6th I find myself full of a number of conflicting emotions regarding the long awaited film version of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons masterpiece, Watchmen. It’s the film I have been waiting years to see, and at the same time it’s the one thing that I secretly hoped would never be adapted to celluloid.
