In case you missed its combination debut-closing weekend (or don't live in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, or Dallas), here's a clip from Watchmen: The Director's Cut to enjoy before it hits DVD on July 21.
The clip shows the death scene of Hollis Mason (Stephen McHattie), the original Nite Owl, a seminal moment for fans of the comic book, who often questioned the scene's exclusion from the theatrical cut. The melancholy scene starts with a phone call between Mason and Silk Spectre I (Carla Gugino), until Mason is interrupted by some Knot Tops gang members in a lovely choreographed fight set to "Cavalleria Rusticana : Intermezzo" from Italian composer Pietro Mascagni.
