There are reasons I've forgotten much of the 1980s. There are reasons I wanted to see Watchmen, among which are that the 3rd trailer for Star Trek was prepended to it.
I'd seen the latter via the internet. The screen at home is not as big, and the sound not as impressive, but I can freeze and replay. I already have, and I got a good understanding of what is being teased. At the theater I stopped myself from closing my eyes, but not from wincing. I'm pretty sure that Spock dies.
I could be wrong, for they may want us to think that. After all, for The Empire Strikes Back the prerelease materials included the line "It is the end for Luke." (I'm sure that everyone else in Beckman Auditorium could hear me holler when R2-D2 ignited the Falcon's hyperdrive, except they were hollering too.)
But the 1980s, wow, there they were, except not quite. Lee Iacocca, Ted Koppel, Henry Kissinger, Castro, Brezhnev .... More than that, the title sequence had the 1960s and 70s as well, but not quite the same ones I saw, or did I? It's hard to be sure.
