Fans also got a long look at the shifting inkblots on the mask of Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley), the unveiling of the flying Owl Ship, a 1950s photo shoot of the fresh-faced superheroes and a very realistic-looking old Nixon. Snyder, who is currently wrestling with a three-hour version of the movie, said, "We had to cut out some bits that were more actiony" to keep Watchmen from running closer to five hours...
...This two-hour movie is in at least one way preferable both to the slow-moving novel and the endless television series. It requires of us about as much of our time and attention as Waugh's story demands. I'm as Anglophilic as the next person, but I'm also, by birth, a Middle-American Protestant-raised guy, taught to believe that we can make what we will of ourselves, unfettered by our parents' beliefs and our society's prejudice.

Ironically, the new law looks more set to cramp the style of middle and upper managers, whose long work days and greater disposable income made them the 35-hour week's biggest fans. Under the previous scheme, most so-called cadres happily logged 12-hour days, knowing they'd eventually be compensated with days off as compensation, in some cases making three-day weekends routine and further extending France's five weeks of paid vacation. Not surprisingly, several hundred cadres were the only ones protesting as legislators voted...
