Who Wants the Watchmen (Blu-ray)?
July 29th, 2009 by david brothers | Tags: blu-ray, contest, movies, watchmenThis’ll actually be our second Watchmen contest… here goes!
This one is easy. The kind folks at M80 want to give away a copy of Watchmen on Blu-ray. At some point over the past year, probably after I bought a PS3, BR became my favorite way to watch movies. Tons of special features, top notch quality, all that fun stuff that nitpickers love. I assume the Watchmen Blu-ray will be similar.
If you want it, here’s what you’ve gotta do. Leave a comment here with your first name (your actual first name, not your fake first name for the internet) and your favorite Watchmen character. You don’t have to justify it, you just have to name it. I’m going to go through the comments on Friday and randomly pick out a winner. I’ll email you for your address, you’ll send that to me, and then you’ll get a Watchmen Blu-ray in the mail.
A couple notes– US residents only, please! Also, please make sure you own a Blu-ray player. And if you don’t put a valid email address in the comments… I’ll have to pick someone else. So don’t put nospam@nospam.com. We’re not (ever) gonna spam you.
Our Wolverine contest from last week is up, and I’ll be emailing the winners tonight. Watch your mailboxes, and look for a post later this week on the best ones.
My favorite character from Watchmen is Rorschach.

by Steve July 29th, 2009 at 18:12 --replyDefinitely the Silhouette.
by zero democracy July 29th, 2009 at 18:49 --replyDefinitely dapper Dan Dreiberg.
by David July 29th, 2009 at 19:49 --replyOzymandias’s Cat.
by Patrick July 29th, 2009 at 20:52 --reply“Favorite” is hard, because I think all the characters were written to not be liked – but my favorite for being the most interesting is the Comedian (followed closely by Rorschach).
by David July 29th, 2009 at 21:14 --replyRoy Chess. He’s the guy!
by John Foley July 29th, 2009 at 21:42 --replyWhen the series first came out, I was an unrepentant Rorshach fan. Twenty-plus years later, I think I have to say that the Comedian has just barely edged him out of first place.
by John July 30th, 2009 at 04:05 --replyI always shed a tear when Bernard the newsstand guy tries to protect the unnamed kid, but Dr. Malcolm Long is pretty much my favorite.
by Pedro Tejeda July 30th, 2009 at 06:46 --replyTed Ko-,ER, Night Owl II.
by AnarCHris July 30th, 2009 at 07:11 --replyI can’t put into words how much the added scene with Mason getting killed completed the movie for me. Nite Owl I.
by David July 30th, 2009 at 07:14 --replyMy favorite character would have to be the magazine stand guy.
by Josh July 30th, 2009 at 07:27 --replyI’m gonna go Dr. Manhatten.
by Jay July 30th, 2009 at 09:42 --replyThe manufactured alien makes me feel uncomfortable 😉

by Matt July 30th, 2009 at 10:19 --replySilhouette 🙂
by Rachael July 30th, 2009 at 10:54 --replyErik Hollender, and my favorite Watchman is Rorschach.
by Erik Hollender July 30th, 2009 at 12:19 --replyi don’t have a blu-ray but my favorite from Watchbabies is Lil’ ‘Hatty: “I’m vewwy mad at woo, Adwian!”
by p July 30th, 2009 at 12:47 --replyMarko Rorschach
by Baytor July 30th, 2009 at 14:43 --replyMy favorite character is Moloch cause he’s so sad.
by Phil July 30th, 2009 at 15:06 --replyI’m Andrew. I like Rorschach, and I’ll say why, but briefly: Despite Moore obviously intending for him to be a satire, he still invested him with humanity. Even though he’s supposed to be a sociopath, Rorschach still has feelings, and is at least a little frustrated by his lack of empathy, as shown by his attempts to connect with Dan Dreiberg.
by Lugh July 30th, 2009 at 16:17 --replyThe good ol’ Comedian. Gotta go with him.
by capntightpants July 30th, 2009 at 23:06 --replyBrian – The Comedian.
by Shannow July 31st, 2009 at 05:52 --replyDefinitly Rorschach, him and his crazy mask.
by Kevin July 31st, 2009 at 08:38 --replyHave to love Rorschach. He throws down with God and the world’s smartest man, and he might have actually won.
by Edward July 31st, 2009 at 08:40 --replyNite Owl II, of course.
by Juan July 31st, 2009 at 22:11 --replyDr. Manhattan. The sense you get of his withdrawal from humanity is simply incredible.
by Seamus August 2nd, 2009 at 16:06 --replySally Jupiter.
by renee August 3rd, 2009 at 08:03 --replyMy name is Daniel and my favourite character is Sally Jupiter aka. The Silk Spectre..
