a5c7b9f00b A television interview with Hollis Mason, The first Nite-Owl, about his life and the superhero community. This faux news show featuring interviews with Hollis Mason (Stephen McHattie) and Silk Spectre among others about Mason&#39;s superhero expose &#39;Under the Hood&#39; which runs 37 &amp; a half minutes and can be foundan extra on the DVD of &quot;Tales of the Black Freighter&quot; (and presumingly on the upcoming special edition of &quot;Watchman&quot;well) feels rushed and too cut and dried. Although this was supposed to be an old 1970&#39;s news show complete with commercials, it didn&#39;t really have that feel in the least so the general conceit of it just falls flat. Worth a watch for only the die-hard fans of &quot;Watchman&quot; and sadly not worth the time invested for anyone else.<br/><br/>My Grade: C- I&#39;m not a fan of the Watchmen, in fact I&#39;d gofarto say I really don&#39;t like it. I&#39;ve never understood the appeal, I understand what they were going for but I just don&#39;t enjoy it.<br/><br/>Going into this little side piece from the 2009 movie, a 40 minute faux documentary piece I knew it never really stood a chance.<br/><br/>It&#39;s created in the form of a news show, a host interviewing the former heroes and looking back at their storied careers.<br/><br/>The fact they got some of the original cast involved is impressive, especially the excellent Carla Gugino and Matt Frewer.<br/><br/>The presentation is great, but this is aimed at fans and only fans.<br/><br/>The Good:<br/><br/>Great cast<br/><br/>The Bad:<br/><br/>I don&#39;t see the appeal<br/><br/>More than slightly boring<br/><br/>Things I Learnt From This Short:<br/><br/>Sani Flush cleans inside the bowl!
