Just saw a new TV spot while watching House.

Here's how it went down, I think, my memory is foggy...

- We hear new Rorschach dialogue
- Then we see a shot of Rorschach looking at the Comedian's closet while text that says "RORSCHACH" pops up on the screen.
- Then Dan, I don't think there was new footage with him. Text that says "NITE OWL" pops up.
- Then Laurie. One new shot was her kicking a Knot-top during the mugging, who goes FLYING into a dumpster. It looked utterly ridiculous. Text said "SILK SPECTRE"
- Then the Comedian. No new footage. Pretty sure there was new dialogue as a V.O. Text said 'THE COMEDIAN"
- Manhattan was next, with a new shot of him in a suit during an interview outdoors surrounded by military personnel and scientists. He too had new dialogue, but I forget exactly what it was. Text said "DOCTOR MANHATTAN"
- Then Adrian. No new footage. Text said "OZYMANDIAS".
- Ended with a shot of Dan's nuclear dream.

Sounds AWFUL. :shock:

Not because of the scenes themselves, but the way they seem to have been put together.

I am irrationally hoping it was a few of the fight shots cut together...

Wait, I missed House?

Now...this isn't one of those overreactions to a shot where a character kicks a thug who then falls down or falls into something, a la the prison kick from Dan is it?

Not even close. It looked like it broke the laws of physics. Granted it was just a 3 second shot, but it looked like Laurie delivers a mid-kick to a Knot-top (who has to be around 200 pounds) and he launches towards the side of the dumpster positioned along the alley wall.

It doesn't sound like he flew in the air, lol. She kicked him in the stomach and he flew back.

Like this:

Laurie(kick) ------------> Knot Top

Yup. He didn't fly up in the air, just rocketed sideways.

So Laurie's feet have the power to dish out sideways blasts a la Mission Impossible III?

Sasso, do you remember any of the new dialogue?

Hurm... · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:05 pm

How was the music?

Was the Laurie kick a step-in sidekick or even step-in front kick? I've sent many a guy (with pads) flying across the dojo with those.

Yeah, the Knot top flying back could be very possible, even though it looks fake.

Sounds odd...and kinda bad. I hate when trailers put the characters names in big text like we're retarded. They did it with The Spirit and the DragonBall trailers. It just looks stupid.

AYBGerrardo · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2009 11:17 pm

^But Sasso makes it sound like a cliched fight scene moment, with bad choreography.
Not gonna judge it myself, though, til I see it.

I imagine this was on the USA Channel right? They usually replay House on that channel. I hope it shows up again during House on FOX tomorrow. They're supposed to show a TV Spot to Wolverine, so the new Watchmen one would be neat too.

Ugh, why the chucklefucking shit would they put the character names in the trailer? People that haven't read the comic will probably laugh out loud at seeing "Doctor Manhattan" in the TV spot.

It's a total buzzkill.

I honestly don't remember. It was a very quick clip. We're talking 3-4 seconds. The angle was odd, too. I'm not even sure what way the Knot-top was facing; for all I know Laurie could have been kicking his lower back instead of his gut.

Smiley wrote:

I believe Manhattan's dialogue was something along the lines of "It's over, now."

It wasn't like the last (5th) TV spot. Didn't take particular notice of it; I suppose it was generic like the other TV spots.
