Watchmen
For the opening of Zach Snyder’s highly anticipated adaptation of Alan Moore’s landmark comic-book series, Uni is throwing a dress-up party. Show up costumed as your favorite Watchmen character (or any character from a comic book, graphic novel, or video or computer game) and vie for prizes related to the picture. Posters will be given away, trivia contests will be held, and photographs will be taken for Warner Bros. promotional purposes (so long as you sign a waiver). What better way to break out what you’ll be wearing to Comic-Con? Edwards University Town Center 6, 4245 Campus Dr., Irvine, (949) 854-8818. Fri., 10:30 p.m. Free. (If you want to see the 10:55 p.m. movie, purchasing the $7.50-$11 tickets in advance is strongly recommended, as a sell-out is anticipated.)
