Daily Scan for 03.06.09 - Daft Punk Dons Dayglo, Terminator Game Spills 'Bots
• Inching ever closer to the Watchmen debut, promo materials are now coming full force: Here's Zack Snyder and Dave Gibbons talking about the movie, a feature about Nite Owl and Rorschach and a video about The Comedian and Ozymandias.
• The Nebula Award winners have been announced, and as usual, the list makes a great primer for last year's must read science fiction.
• This is fantastic: Daft Punk will don dayglo unitards to do the soundtrack for Tron 2.
• Screenshots from the Terminator Salvation game inadvertently spill a lot of the neater details and heretofore hidden robots of the plot.
• io9 lists the elements of Watchmen that have ended up on the cutting room floor. No Burgers 'n Borscht? Sacrilege!
• A fantastic gallery, hosted by Let 'Em eat Cake, of retro-futuristic space illustrations.
• SF Gospel lists four Alan Moore stories better than Watchmen. I pretty much disagree across the board, especially since one of them is a chapter of the graphic novel, which doesn't make a lick of sense.
"SF Gospel lists four Alan Moore stories better than Watchmen. I pretty much disagree across the board, especially since one of them is a chapter of the graphic novel, which doesn't make a lick of sense."
Well, that's the joke, isn't it?
In seriousness, though, I think I explained it fairly well on the list: the story in that chapter is better than the story of the book as a whole. The sum is not greater than its parts (or that part, at least).
But also, it's kind of a joke.
