Reasons Why A 3-Hour 'Watchmen' Movie Will Never Hit Theaters

Now that “Watchmen” has been set for a 2 hour and 43 minute cut (so far anyhow), we feel comfortable (heh, now you do, convenient!) showing this interview clip we did with TalkingHeadTV about why we felt the Zack Snyder film would never get a three-hour theatrical cut. We won that bet by17 minutes. 😉 Whew. We’re a little arrogant and dismissive in this interview, we think, but we were having a crotchety day (what else is new). It was done about a month ago or longer. As TalkingHeadTV writes, “ThePlaylist says he will bet money with any fan site that a 3-hour Watchmen film will never be theatrically released.” It’s a funny little interview. Take me with a grain of salt. Oh and if you’re curious all our interviews with TalkingHead TV are here. They’ve interviewed us about a lot of film subjects including “Where The Wild Things Are,” Charlie Kaufman’s “Synecdoche, New York,” “Inglorious Bastards” and more.
