Video: Watchmen opening credits and a spoof

The opening sequence of Watchmen is pretty fantastic: It lays out some of the background of the movie’s world of alternate history and costumed heroes. Made me pretty hopeful to see the movie!

UPDATE 2: Here you go, Googlers.

UPDATE: Okay, so all the Watchmen credit sequences have been copyrighted to death – you can check Youtube to see if you can catch one before the lawyers do, or check out a couple of stills at Cleolinda’s, though they really can’t do it justice.

Huh. See if I blow up a Death Star for her again.

…It is Friday, right?
