Just wanted to mention Sita Sings The Blues again: [link] The animation is unbelievable.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some chick from SiTV said "Ladies, if dinner and a movie includes The Watchmen you might wanna brown bag it."
Her point being that if he wants to go, he'll geek out and it will suck as a date.
How cold! I'm just thinking I need a reread before I head out to see my first movie of 2009. I should be so lucky as going to see it on a date.

I reread last year around the time the first trailer came out, but I'm deliberately not rereading before seeing the movie so I don't spend the whole time comparing them. I want to watch it as a movie.

I reread it last year too, but I'm feeling the need to be totally up on it before my viewing. I hope I can be sensible enough to separate the two, but I want to know when and how they diverge.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I don't recommend it, actually.
(And I don't want to ruin anyone's morning, so that's probably the last thing I should say about Watchmen-the-movie.)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! SO. FUCKING. DISAPPOINTING. FUCKING ZAK FUCKING SNYDER.

I appreciate the white font. My man wants to see this movie so we are going Friday. I bought the tix online already. I have not read the comic, but I have been reading about the movie so I'm pretty sure I know what happens. white font reaction:
I'm prepared to like it as much as I like the worst of the Spiderman movies. If it is better, then hallelujah.

LeN, you don't know it now, but your use of the word "hallelujah" there is both appropriate and HILARIOUS.
