Electric Shadow

Watchmen Redux Redux

This went out officially a couple weeks ago, but had a couple things to say on it. The Ultimate Cut version of Watchmen that had already been soft-announced a while ago was officially announced for release on November 7th, and the final running time clocks in at 215 minutes, or 3 hours and 35 minutes. This is the version I've been most curious to see since the film's theatrical release, not that I think it will be a more definitive version than the Director's Cut. The new Ultimate Cut Edition incorporates most of the Tales of the Black Freighter animated thing into the Director's Cut and includes the following extras according to the press release:
