Oh, and....

Watchmen was test sceened last week, and from all reviews put on the web, the ending has been changed.....to something rather pish in my opinion. You can find out here, or just do a google search for many more reports of the same thing. Slightly alternate version here, but much the same consequence. Looks like some people have confused the rumour, since all reviews were removed almost immediately so only a few people actually read them to remember them. However, they are very similar, with exactly the same result. Don't want to spoil it in case any of you chumps dont want it spoiled, but it completely changes the meaning of the narrative, for me anyways. And it is also a stupidly obvious thing to do within the context of the story and one of it's many themes. In a bad way. Very American. Looks like they're removing all subtelty and layering and just smashing it on the head with a sledgehammer. Disappointing. I try not to play a fanboy blinded by love of source material, but I really can't help it in this case. Think I'll be burning down a cinema early next year....unless the ending shown or the reviews are faked by the director Snyder, which is a theory going round. I had heard the ending was completely faithful. But Kevin Smith has been shown the film, and said it was different. He might have been lying or shown a fake one too, thus setting up an awesome conspiracy within a conspiracy. Unlikely, says I. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Well, I'm not that crushed, I thought it would suck ass any way.
