Coincidentally, here's Saturday Morning Watchmen.
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
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.

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

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.

You know how most comic-to-movie adaptations have little easter egg type details in the background, just for the die-hard fanboys to notice?
This movie is nearly 3 solid hours of eggs.
