Watching other Watchmen

Of course, when there is a successful product, there are people who honour and/or rip-off that product (for example Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie... <insert genre here> Movie, which are about as funny as being punched in the face...)

Anyway, with Watchmen, of course there are Watchmen take offs. This one was long before the movie, it is Just Imagine... Stan Lee Creating Watchmen. Eh... he takes pages and reimagines the dialogue. Not entirely impressed with this, have to say. A bit over-the-top anti-communism for my ear.

But then there's the Saturday Morning Cartoon, which we all remember watching as kids (click the "watch this movie" link). Part Scooby Doo, part... well, a lot of Scooby Doo, but it is in about equal parts amusing and disturbing (if you know the source material), especially Rorschach.

Then there's The Gunga Diner, site of many parody links (including a PDF of the MAD Magazine take off - Botchmen). Neil Gaiman's Watchdogs. Not to mention many Watchmen parody videos.

It's a sign of success. And flattery... so they say...
