Political Nature Of Japanese 'Watchmen' Trailer Makes Us Giggle

The JFK assassination? A funny-looking (purposefully so?) Richard Nixon and a nice little nod to “Dr. Strangelove”? [ed. admittedly a nice touch] We can’t tell if “Watchmen” is trying to be intentionally campy or just unintentionally funny. This new Japanese trailer for Zack Snyder’s “Watchmen” shows all-new footage from the film with added emphasis on the current political crisis around the globe that’s part of its milieu, but like we said, it sort of makes us giggle if it’s meant to be taken dead seriously.
