Wow, I've been reading the Wiki entries on Watchmen . . . There's a surprising amount of information there, if people who've never read the book are curious. But not enough to spoil the novel, because it's presented in a very, very dry manner. Anyhoo, I'm really excited and will DEFINITELY pick up the novel before the movie comes out.

After reading about Dr. Manhattan, I was surprised to read that at one time they wanted to cast Arnold friggin' Schwarzenegger in the role. Somehow I can't picture the governator as a brilliant quantum physicist turned all-powerful being.
