Doctor Manhattan’s Penis

Cidu Bill on Mar 10th 2009

I haven’t seen Watchmen yet, but I have noticed that there doesn’t seem to be a single review of the film that fails to mention Dr. Manhattan’s penis. This seems to be a major obsession. I’ve heard rumors that the studio is negotiating to give Dr. Manhattan’s penis its own spin-off.

The son of one of my wife’s friends asked “If this is supposed to be the most powerful man in the universe, why can’t he find himself a pair of pants?” The kid’s missing the point: If the most powerful man in the universe wants to run around with everything hanging out, who’s going to tell him he can’t? “Hey, buddy, you got a problem with it? Talk to the penis.”

For those who asked (and will ask): It seems Warners somehow made the big-budget Watchmen film (scheduled for March 2009 release) without taking into account that Fox had previously bought to do so (see article). Well… oops. And now a judge has ruled that Warners can’t release the film without Fox’s approval.
