📺 Sunday Watch-Along 📺: Watchmen, Sunday, Oct 27th @ 9:30AM PST/12:30PM EST!

Join us Sunday @9:30am PST/12:30pm EST for an investigate Watch-Along of Watchmen, where we ask the question: Who Watches The Watch-Along?

:rotating_light: WARNING: Watchmen is rated ‘R’ for graphic violence, sexuality, nudity, and language. :rotating_light:

In honor of the critically acclaimed release of the HBO series Watchmen, we’re going to be celebrating Community Week with a Watch-Along of Watchmen (2009), complemented with our own mysteries to solve in the form of a SCAVENGER HUNT! :male_detective:

Come for the movie, stay for the scavenger hunt fun! It’s time to put those :mag: detective skills :mag_right: to the test to find some hidden easter eggs, and try your hand at our trivia questions! The one with the most points might receive a nifty prize after! :wink:

SCAVENGER HUNT RULES:
Trivia Questions:
The FIRST person to answer each question correctly will get the point. We’ll be asking them throughout the movie, so keep those eyes peeled, and your minds sharp! :eyes: I’ll use the :rotating_light: Trivia Question Alert :rotating_light: when I post them.

Easter Eggs:
Participating’s as simple as giving a shoutout in the comments when you see one! I know where they are, so the first 5 people to respond at the right time will get a point each.

Here’s an example of one using the well-known Watchmen smiley at -2:36:10 (5:37 in):

For those who have joined a Watch-Along before, you know the drill.
For those who haven’t joined a Watch-Along before, read on to learn more!

Who: You, silly!

What: Watchmen (2009) - The link to the movie can be found here!

Where: Right here on the forums! In this thread! In the comments below! Maybe on your phone! But also, you’ll be watching Watchmen on another screen to make it easier. So there, too.

When: 2019-10-27T16:30:00Z

Why: Because the community that geeks out together, stays together.

How: Great question - read below!

=========================

:point_down: RULES OF THE ROAD :point_down:

  1. CAN’T WIN IF YOU DON’T PLAY – You must have a subscription to DC Universe to access Watchmen unless you own the movie yourself.

  2. DUAL-WIELDING – Watch-Alongs are best experienced on two devices; Your phone for comments, and your big screen for viewing.

  3. 2, 1 LET’S JAM – Have your clicking finger on the “play” button and ready for action- we’ll be starting at the stroke of the hour.

  4. A WRINKLE IN TIME – If you get lost in the time, you can calculate where the audience is by checking the minute- For example, if it’s 09:45 am PST, then we are 15 minutes into the movie.

Come join us to answer the question everyone’s asking: Who Watches the Watch-Along? :eyes:

Nice! I love it already, so I can only imagine how cool the rest of it’s gonna end up looking! :slight_smile:

We’re excited to have you, @iJest and @Valade! So glad your vacations overlapped - perfect timing! And you’re welcome, though the pleasure’s all mine :slight_smile:

Couldn’t agree with you more, either, @TomJones. Being able to watch it for the WAL with all of you brings me back to watching it in the theater. So much more fun to be had that way!

It’s wonderful to see you, @Aneras713! :smiley:

Good morning/afternoon! It’s a gloomy/rainy day today in upstate NY. I think I’ll do some cleaning after the movie.
