Watchmen, Short Version in Theaters

It's not uncommon for movies in theaters to be cut down, but it still frustrates me. Watchmen will be 2hours and 37 minutes in theaters while the directors cut, which will likely be the first release of the movie will be 3 hours and 10 minutes.
The way I see it there are three possible outcomes of this.
1. The theatrical release isn't the best possible cut of the movie and was shortened to make more money regardless of quality. This likely means that the director was forced to make cuts he didn't want to.
2. They cut out things which didn't need to me in the movie and the directors cut is going to have thirty minutes of pointlessness in it simply so they can call it a directors cut.
3. They plan on releasing 24 different versions of the movie one a month for the next two years each of them at full price of course and with just enough extra that you will be tempted to buy it, then after two years they will release the supreme ultimate watchmen version which will be all 24 disks for only 459 dollars.

Wachowski Brothers to Reboot Superman

Rumors are that the Wachowski Brothers have given over control of the Plastic Man movie to the second unit director in order to begin a new Superman Trilogy. If this is true it is most likely because Brian Singer refused to helm a re-boot of the Superman franchise being the only man left in America who thought that Superman Returns was a good movie.
I'm not certain what to think about this. It's hard to imagine not re-booting superman after the last movie which seemed determined to get everything wrong but using the Wachowski Brothers seems like a dangerous move.
It's not that they good enough, it's almost the opposite. They have a very strong style. Take "Speed Racer" As the only adult to have watched "Speed Racer" without a child present I can say that while it wasn't even near the realm of good it certainly had style. But with Superman they are either going to be forced to make something that isn't their style or we're going to get a superman trilogy which is the Wachowski Brothers superman.
At least they got someone who know about Comics and action movies though so that is promising.
