I'm hardly interested in superhero/comic book based movies, but I'd totally go see this one just so I could hear Desolation Row at the end!! xDD
You should read the graphic novel, even if you're not into comic books. It's a groundbreaking piece of work and the only graphic novel/comic book to make Time magazine's list of '100 Best English-Language Novels Since 1923', has received a Hugo Award, and is widely believed to be the greatest graphic novel of all time. Also, the guys in the band are pretty big fans. The song title Ghost of You is a Watchmen reference.
You'd be doing yourself a favor by checking it out!

it is amazing. I only recently read it after finding it in my uncles comic collection, but I really really enjoyed it.
and this video is just making me more excited for the movie.

Thank God it was desolation row and not the rumored all along the watchtower. I knew the dr lyrics were in the book, I was absolutely befuddled as to why all along the watchtower would even be suggested....

An Average Mistake said the song title Ghost of You is a Watchmen reference. That's really interesting. I was wondering if she could expand on that?
go to the picture request thread and it's on the latest last page towards the top.
they're linked, so they might not pop right out at you =]

ghost of you? really? could you expand on that?
Sure. "Oh, how the ghost of you clings" is a line used in an ad to sell Nostalgia, a cologne by Adrian Veidt. The line originally comes from the song These Foolish Things first recorded by Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Billie Holiday, but the guys got it from Watchmen. I remember them saying it was a Watchmen reference in an interview......FOUND IT!
To keep this from being all spam...Desolation Row is a pretty long song. I know they're picking and choosing their favorite verses to make it shorter ~80s punk~ version befitting the tone of the novel. I wonder what verses they'll pick.

I'm fairly certain there was an interview where Gerard said that the director had picked certain verses and they were working together - I will try to find it.

The lawsuit has been ongoing for a while and is expected to be worked out by the release date. Right now they are currently bickering over copyright ownership. I will assume Fox will likely accept a monetary settlement, if they can still prove they even hold the rights to the film, which WB claims lapsed in the early 90's.
Tabs, I knew you would have the answer to my question. I was going to inquire about the status of the video pending the this article from today.
I don't think they would make a video for it if the movie didn't have the absolute green light.

The most recent ruling is that FOX maintains a copyright & distribution interest, meaning basically the studios may have to work together and and FOX's name might have to be on it as a distributor. So it's kinda dicey just now, whether FOX will agree to that or if they'll be assholes and want more. At one point January 20th was the date they were *supposed* to go to court, but they both wanted an earlier settlement. So I'm not sure if they will still go on th 20th or if they will reset the date with different goals.
Either way, WB has not yet changed the release date; they still anticipate the March 6th opening.
The whole thing is bullshit -- FOX sat on the rights for over 10 years, so obviously they had no intention of ever filming it, so now they look like little kids -- "He stole my toy that's been under my bed for 10 years and I forgot I had! It's not fair! All the other kids like him better now! I want my toy back!" It's ridiculous. They're just mad that Snyder & Co. did a better job with it than they could have; so they want a piece of it.

I was over on MCR's site earlier and they have the new single for sale on vinyl. It says that if you order it now you can get it on or around January 27! For everyone that is REALLY wanting to hear it before the movie, there is your way to do it. You guys should go check it out. It's the first thing on their blog. It's not the video, but hey, it's better than nothing!
