NBS Nightly News with Ted Philips, March 11th 1970

[AvatarofBragi]

very well done

[KirbySans]

Hahahah I love this! 

[oldcodyjr]

check out his Speedo! (I'm a girl).

[xRobTheBeggarx]

He discovered Lithium?

[hi123people]

@xRobTheBeggarx he synthesizes it

[jaworskij]

Ted Philips looks like he should have been a HS Mathematics teacher.

[thespartonmaster11]

1:46 what the, we're they uh REAL?

[eyeh8nbc]

Still haven't seen Watchmen, but NBS was also the name of the fictitious radio news network in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

[MrSladeTheBlade]

The burst on all this on 3/15/61 when Chuck Wepner knocked this superman out in 2:13 of the first round.

[lvblvb]

Pointless.

[RyanKeefe21]

WATCHMEN!!!!

[1kydde2]

what is this from???

[laptopsaysno]

creative

[bakerandbaker1]

Shame NBS was on pay cable; if the damm executives decided to become a national network, Ted Phillips name would be spoken with in the same breath as Cronkite, Jennings, Brokaw and Brinkley, and NBS Nightly News would be an American institution; they certainly had the resources to make it happen.

[MadPutz]

If Rorschach revealed the truth it actually wouldn't have changed the new world peace. Instead of being united against fake aliens, the world would be united against the monolithic Veidt. That would be a good ending.

[citizen773]

FAKE!!

[Amandainthekettle]

@citizen773 Thank you Captain Obvious.

[taleofrevenge]

@citizen773 Its a parody of Watchmen, moron

[jfcemporium]

[billkasperdotcom]

[dalektaliban]

[riskygjk]

faggots

[wigtrimer]

So does NBS stand for "Nothing But Shit"? Because that was the biggest waist of my life.

[Elkotend]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[vigo894]

@Elkotend= Then move to Uranus.

[painlessissuicide]

brilliant!

[McBandycars]

Better than Sittin on tha toilet!

[bellendbrie]

I just farted, pass it on.

[masonrox2547]

INDESTRUCTIBILITY!

[RMJ92]

[and3rew6]

@RMJ92 or the 70s

[audveltadmuna]

lol what is this

[DaveFromBrooklyn]

For some reason, Nixon looks like Gamera in that shot.

[zimmyzimgir]

WTF i thought this was real at first haahahah

[GoldsboroughStudios]

Gotta love that viral marketing.

[vampricyoda]

You know, Dr. Manhatten will give you cancer. Then turn into a car.

[d4du88]

dude. what is that?

[heine71]

What is NBS? I thought it was NBC News!

[zolotoy3211]

Great Watchmen tribute. They even had a contest to make a commercial based on products in the storyline, and the winner's commercial got a spot in the movie! WATCHMEN RULE!!!

[chibicelchan]

Impeccable! Compare this to any of the old news footage on Youtube (and there is a lot of it) and this stands up as realer than life itself. So epic!

[xxxrandomjamezxxx]

hey cool video could you check out mine? if you like my videos you should subscribe,lol well keep up the good work and have a nice day :)

[DoctorWeeTodd]

If only the filmmakers spent as much effort on the movie as they did on the viral marketing supplements.

[mst3k54]

Huh?

[803T]

How did they do that? How did they manage to make this video clip look so genuine?

[msa1985]

uhh...old equipment???

[mariusbleek]

LOL this propaganda is so trippy to watch stoned!!!

Damn hippies

[Verbeke1992]

They did a really good job of making this clip look aged.

[shakedownstreet48]

My Birthday 3-11.,i wish it was 1970 again.

[theblackhalo92]

lol better blue than red...lol

[alexrj2]

the antichrist will have those powers

[kurono1999]

fool

[DemonMitsuki]

ever heard of viral campaigning?

[TylerCharlesFisher]

"The adventures of Dr. Manhattan"

I remember that show! It used to come on right after Rocket Robin Hood!

[Demetri790FX]

ahh those were the days my dad use to be one of big figure's henchmen got owned by nite owl and rorshach but he and nite owl met ar a grocery store and soon became best friend he also had an affair with Silk Spectre

[AverageAdam]

Should have included this on the Blu-Ray.

[MatthewTS22]

Did they actually use a 1970's video camera?

It looks so actual.

[drmondman1]

if you want the truth about this search

Dr Manhattan & The Manhattan project

[Gokua12]

Did this really air in the 70s?!?

[drmondman1]

no.. it did not happen..

[Demetri790FX]

lol dude u didnt know dr.manhattin was real wow fail dude if u step into a nuclear reacotor you can get super powers u should totally do that

[takahashiwongwong]

the twin towers were being built when this was aired

[Benishe]

I still wonder why so many people understimate this film. Look at the dates, the anagrams, every single detail that Snyder put in order to make people meditate pretty hard that maybe our world is a victim of an Ozymandias-like conspiracy...

[saltnpepperman]

My granduncle emigrated to America waaay back the second he heard about the Doc. Said Ireland hadn't had any divine intervention during the hard times, so he was gonna find his own in the Land of opportunity. Got killed in New York during the police strike riots.

[ooooOOOO0000OOOOoooo]

I remember Dr. Manhattan has this gigantic thing in his pants, and everyone thought oh jesus that must be his penis. But he told me it was another planet.

[hypnodance]

I grew up in the '80s, and all I can say is, it sucked that Dr. Manhattan had to be sent to Mars.

[intigfx]

Yeah but he left an invaluable technological legacy, and now with George H. W. Bush starting his 6th term, the free world can thrive in peace, together with the USSR.

[3baxcb]

Actually I read the graphic novel. I find it more poetic justice about who's the other presidental cannidate mentioned in the story.

Reading the one scientist's essay on Dr. Manhattan supports the arguement that the Nixon admistration took advantage of his abilities and became too reliant on him as a deterence.

[shoegazer86]

I miss Dr. Manhattan... I miss the old days of Nixon, Nostalgia and the Keene Act debate. It all reminds me of my childhood. Those were the days!

[chickenwizard]

The additives in our food keeps us from remembering the actual events

[WeirdCandycain]

I might sound stupid...but...is this real?

[ZeroRomeo]

Yep.

[foxyfoxyfo]

its in the watchmen movie, dear

[WeirdCandycain]

oh, I thought it was a REAL broadcast of controversial stuff.

[redyulan86]

yes it's real, didn't you learn about this in school?

[supersaver87]

My dad actually met Dr. Manhattan back in 1973. The picture of the two of them hang in the living room to this day. :)

[JasonCloud]

My dad went out and bought a double-breasted suit in '61. We love the Doc!

[Eodred]

I like the little kid's shirt...

[baluvxaluv]

In the book

HE IS GOD

[Cotton926]

yup even in the movie he is like god

[dylan9094]

These HAVE to go on the dvd!

[ttimpitul]

or its another hoax

[ttimpitul]

maybe is the repercussions of sending movies into space, movies like The Day Theat Earth Stood Still

[davidb412009]

Yeah, my uncle told me a story about Manhatten once. Turns out the two of them got drunk together in a bar near Roswell and ended up in a hotel room together.

Have you ever seen that guy's thing? I really believe that's why my uncle still walks a little bowlegged.

[ErichoTTA]

What the...? How and when was this filmed?

[Tanru2000]

I'm surprised the Russians didn't try to create their OWN Dr. Manhattan.

[lulusaad]

Lol think in a russian super hero, RED man named Dr. stalingrad lol

[HCShannon]

Actually they did, he was red, too, but all the radiation made him a retard who did stupid things!

[3baxcb]

If you asked Dr. Manhattan that, his answer would go like "Red and Blue are only relevant when defriancance (sorry for misspell) between things. Otherwise, there's no descerinable difference."

[intigfx]

or rather, "Red and Blue are abstract names given to specific ranges of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. Their importance over one another is only a subjective point of view and has no relevance."

[3baxcb]

Ha ha ha. Any political pundit would be frustrated interviewing him and everyone on CNN Crossfire would be too distracted with him being naked. That bow-tied right winger in particular would blow a vein since he couldn't drag him into any arguement, except about causes of cancer.

[jokamund]

In Soviet Russia, Dr Manhattan owns YOU.

[MichaelandPatrick]

really? this isnt real guys, its a fucking book/movie. Sorry for ruining your wet dream of Dr.Manhatten being real

[drktigger]

ur smart

[PatchworkGirlofOZ]

Translation:

Stop having fun guys.

[DemonMitsuki]

way to be a dick.

[varms]

Dr Manhattan made my saved me daddy's copter from falling on the White House back in the day.. True hero he was. The Comedian was the one who shot it down.

(Just going along with it. XD)

[DancingInTheRain73]

ppl? you're actually kinda creeping me out...why are you talking like he's real?

[AnonHateMachine]

Growing up, I loved Dr. Manhattan. Nowadays, I'm not so attached and also not so sure we are better off with him in our lives. What if he got all apathetic towards human life one day? I mean he is a superbeing and detached from humanity in general. What's to stop HIM from destroying the world. I don't like the idea.

[lester7c]

my grandad had tea with doctor manhattan

[jonlee29]

Lol my grandad worked in the same lab with him before the accident, he said he was a brilliant minded guy....

[lalrang2002]

Guys...I am really confused. What is this superman thing...or u guys just making stuff up??? :(

[samuriazombie]

go read the book its in there

[redhurricane24]

My uncle actually got to meet Doc Manhattan. He's always telling me that he's a nice guy to talk to. You even forget that he can disintergrate you by just talking with the man.

[singedrac]

My dad used to work for NASA and got to work with Dr. Manhattan for a while back in the 70's. :O

[clo5ure]

viral marketing much?

[jamusthebartender]

I remember seeing Dr. Manhattan on TV as a child, when he was on Mr. Rogers. They actually showed his penis. On Mr. Rogers. Really. I mean, Mr. Rogers was cool about it and used to ask if he ever gets angry sometimes, and a bunch of other stuff about feelings, but you knew he was thinking about his penis. Everyone in the studio was.

[Tanru2000]

literally LOLing! :)

[TheWillseph]

I remember my dad telling me about Dr. Manhattan when he was a kid.

[beatledude64]

I met him in the 70's. I got to shake his hand and everything. Now I have cancer.

[DoctorExplosion]

Did your dad work for Pyramid Deliveries?

[MrJivePirate]

@beatledude64 blame adrian

[3iD0LoN]

You should shut the fuck up more.

[normandale1987]

My dad got to meet Dr. Manhattan back in the 70's. He said he was very polite...and he has a firm handshake.

[thefloacist]

Better blue than red...lol. I forgot that red was the 'commie color'.

[bluenail90]

What does he say at 1.59? (know what I'm saying?) lol

[WorldNews92]

I think he says: "No... I mean we got God on our side. You know what I'm saying?"

[sebasboner]

man listened like 30 times and here it is : ......... you know what I'm saying?

[chaozengine]

I'm confused. If this was organic - VERY nice!  If this was viral on WB's part ... WHERE THE HELL WAS IT???

[Elrich89]

They've recreated the rubbish picture and audio quality of 60's news incredibly well...it's so convincing.

[joshjimjoe]

It's funny that some people actually believe that this is real footage of a news broacast. This is a viral video for the movie.

There was no chromakey in the 70's, that's ofcourse the first problem with this news cast. That is aside from the obvious that there is cg animation with the tank which is from the movie.

Lol.

[edwardmx]

there was chroma key...

[skinnertron]

It's not chroma key actually. It's back projection - if you look there are no key lines or matte artefacts around them.

Back projection was standard as far back as mid 60s American newscasts.

[joshjimjoe]

I was alive at the time, no there was no chroma key and although back projection was definitely possible, it caused unbalanced lightening as the center would be more intense than the edges.

As far as I remember news broadcasts, they used a construction board on an easle to demonstrate data or a picture board for the weather.

[skinnertron]

Dude you have a lot of time on your hands

[MrKipW]

We used it in high school in 1974. It's possible 1970 was too early, but not by much, if so.

[llDjErMzll]

is this real or not i mean like wow so much disinfo these days

[pureevilfnord]

Those Central Park denizens sound like they're fighting back British Accents!

[JackGillow]

The one guy who says Dr. Manhattan is God looks a bit like the newsstand owner from the graphic novel. Too bad he wasn't in the actaul movie.

[m60feral]

wow you guys are idiots

[kinezzii]

what is this all about i don't get it ...

[Redemption2XK]

when was this made? cant be 1970's since the book was made in 86.

[outlawz1351]

Look at the special effects...those were unheard of in 1970, lol. This was the footage shown in the movie...an extended version of it, anyway.

[devo38839]

i found this to be extrodinarly creepy...*shivers

[PROYECTOarismuca]

"Better blue than red"

Yes, that pretty much says it all.

[Skylinesandsunsets]

This news broadcast puts the BS in NBS.

[carefulspaceman]

cool vid.. funny on most parts. i wonder if the people of the decade they parodied would get offended. lol.

[Sargathia]

goddam nerds faggin up real Cold War history wonder how many of you geeks would even know what MAD stands for

[BTsar]

Militärischer Abschirm Dienst - German Military Counterintelligence Agency

[lamarhooten]

I remember when this came on the TV. My father was in the military and we were in Berlin at the time. I was making a Dr. Manhatan with my Matlle Tog'l blocks and my father stepped on one and said he will destroy them with his Dr. M powers! I think he said he voted for Keane by mistake too!

[SomeGuyYeah007]

Mutually Assured Destruction.

[eddiequest2]

"wonder how many of you geeks would even know what MAD stands for"

All of us do, Mr. Simpleton.

[blorg13]

Mutually Assured Destruction

You are an idiot

[johnnyblaze104]

is it me, or is that tank part not in the book? ive read the whole novel.

[neokimchi]

it's just you

page 13 of chapter 4

not to sound like a total nerd. i just happened to have the book right here

[christherocker89]

yeah i think the tank is....but its just metinoned in one of the little bits inbetween the chapters...or its mentioned by a soldier....im sure a rifle is disasembled by doc M tho

[ralasinchains]

"God exists, and he's American."-Dr. Milton Glass

[jessereid99]

this. is. sweet.

[PVTSolis]

There is a God, and he's American.

[hippocampuszosterae]

"Better blue than red, man"

LMAO awesome

[SeaTac411]

I love that the film makers are keeping the setting of this movie in the past. Its a ballsy move but I think it will pay off. I read the book in the summer and I'm pretty excited to see the flick.

They changed the rifle to a Tank... well; that's much more effectual on screen! + Dr. Manhatt
