I suppose Leo Winston is a name we should keep an eye out for. It also mentions a promotional flyer that I'm a bit curious about.

I don't know if this has any significance, but what month is that in 1985? The calendar looks kind of messed up, like something weird happens on the 11-13th underneath the letter from Leo Winston. Or is this just my eyes playing tricks on me after a long day of monitor staring?


What about what the letter says?

That hurt my eyes, anything I couldn't decipher i put in (these), forget their name, also the third paragraph had like...spelling mistakes, or maybe it was from focusing my eyes so much.

Nice job pulling all that out! Aside from the CEO's name and some key characters, I don't see anything to be insidious. Did you?

That letter sounds familiar. My copy of the book is not in front of me; could someone with a hardcopy check the letters? I'm reasonably certain that's a verbatim transcript of a letter, probably in one of the later chapters (10? 11?).

When I saw the title of this thread, it reminded me of a fruitless search I did a while back that lead me to Watchmen stuff. It may be a long shot that this is related, but I'll post my think track and let you all decide.

Remember this $1.59 posting on Despoiler from January?
The video on youtube is http://www.youtube.com/user/ceeemooore
As was pointed out back then, the mirrored coins look something like a Rorschach.

Six plus months ago, during that search, I found the video title and link in blog comment on this article: Zack Snyder Reveals Watchmen Storyboards

one dollar fifty-nine cents in assorted loose change

As the search didn't lead me to a concrete connection, and given the controversy surrounding that previous jack attempt, I gave up.

"OK, so why post about it now?", you ask?
Well, it's to ask if anyone recalls the tag "veidt " being on that video. I don't remember that, or I think I would have felt it more strongly connected to Watchmen.

I see that ceeemooore
"Joined: January 13, 2008

Could "veidt" have been added 3 months ago?

Was there a thread for $1.59 ? I searched for ceeemooore on uF and found zilch. /*me goes to search again.

I'd really hate to be some jacker's pawn, but what do you think?

Try wwtw.net

I don't know source-codes or what-not, so it's up to someone else to say if it's anything.

The WHOIS doesn't match up. And what lead you to that route / why WWTW? Edit: Nevermind. "Who Watches the Watchmen", got it. Wink

I actually got watchmen last week, and have yet to read it, so no clue, but http://watchmenmovie.warnerbros.com/ here's the official site and I tried whowatchesthewatchmen.org, nope and .com too
but can anyone hear what the people are saying in the background, "we want ___" It's after the trailer.


They're saying," We watch you!"

I tried wewatchyou.com,.org,.net. Nothing but sites for sale.

Someone over on SHH! came up with this, so I thought I would post it here. Maybe it's nothing, but I looked into it and it does seem odd. Here is the link to his post since I don't think I could explain it any better than he did and I'm not one to take credit for other people's finds.
