New Watchmen Trailer

I'm not a big fan of 300, but this trailer looks pretty nice. As far as comic-to-film adaptations go, though, I'm a bigger believer in the spirit of the law than the letter. Here's hoping that there's more than pretty pictures to look at neat year!

Ralph McQuarrie Concept Paintings For Battlestar Galactica

What do you do when it's 1978, and you're whipping up a Star Wars clone for television? You hire one of the same concept artists! Check out this great gallery of inspirational artwork produced by McQuarrie for the original Battlestar Galactica - neat!

I think some of this art was cannibalized for toy packaging and TV Guide ads - if it wasn't, it was ripped off by other artists pretty convincingly.

Thanks to Derek Thompson, io9.com, and galactica.tv for the links!
