The movie adaptation of Watchmen comes out next Friday, and I, like many, many others am very much looking forward to it. I have not yet read the original novel (described as "the greatest graphic novel of all time"), but the visually stunning trailers are enough to have me queueing up at the cinema. What's more, the film has been converted into IMAX format and will probably look amazing on a giant screen. I had been planning on a trip to the Glasgow Science Centre to see it on their IMAX screen.
The only problem? The IMAX in Glasgow won't be showing it. According to this article, the Glasgow Science Centre decided against screening the film due to it's 18 certificate, claiming that it "does not fit in with their family audience". Somehow I think that either way they would still make a lot more money from screenings of Watchmen than the umpteenth showing of "Deap Sea 3D". Hmmph.
On the plus side: Watchmen has an 18 certificate. Cool.
