What if Woody Allen Had Directed Watchmen?

Also Judd Apatow, Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola....

As Jackie Brown was a tribute to '70s blaxploitation, Kill Bill was a tribute to '70s kung fu, and Death Proof was a tribute to '70s grindhouse, so Quentin Tarantino makes Watchmen a tribute to the fourth in his canon of formative aesthetic influences: '70s Hanna-Barbera cartoons. In three half-hour episodes, the Watchmen—plus their new friends, Danny the Boy Detective and Mighty Mutt—discover that an extraterrestrial squid plans to explode in a beautiful national park. Working together, the Watchmen convince the squid that our nation's precious natural resources are too important to destroy.

Coincidentally, here's Saturday Morning Watchmen.

That ain't right.

It also made me laugh.

I still think The Simpsons had the best parody, with Milhouse asking Moore to sign a DVD of Watchmen Babies: V for Vacation.

So amazingly wrong....

Did Moore kill and eat him?

I just blew off all my responsibilities this afternoon and went to see "Coraline" in 3D.

Loved it! The 3D was cool, especially the thing at the end of the credits!

Weirdly, I was the only person in the theatre. It was the 1:00pm show on the first really warm day in Cedar Rapids, but it was still weird.

Oh, I forgot, I saw "The Reader" last night. Very sad making and thought provoking.

The Salt Lake Tribune's movie reviewer has seen Watchmen. He wasn't pleased.

The Chicago Tribune gave it 1 1/2 stars. He called it bloated, in the summary....

Do you suppose those who've read the graphic novel like it more? I didn't actually read the review in the Trib, so I dunno if he's read it.

He has and understands it's significance in the comics world.

I'm not sure someone who hasn't read the graphic novel would understand it. And I mean that in the most basic following-the-plot-from-point-A-to-point-B sense.

I've heard other people say the same thing, Jess.
