Screen Junkies takes on yet another comic book classic that Zack Snyder ruined. Watchmen may well be unadaptable, but if we’re going to do it anyway it should have been a miniseries. And not directed by Zack Snyder.

Oddly Satisfying: Magnets

Oddly Satisfying: Magnets

There’s nothing more to Stan Krzyzanowski’s video than a bunch of random metal objects being dropped one by one onto stacks of rare earth magnets, yet somehow it was compelling enough to hook us right from the start and make us watch all 99 seconds anyhow.
