Steph - Yes! I commented on that to my brother at the time. Also that when they had
all the news stories reporting on the devastation, one carried the caption "Tiffany Burns". Which, she's not the only one, surely.
Ok, now I'm imagining - and given some of the other musical choices they made, I don't think this is outside the realm of possibility - that when Dr Manhattan and Laurie return to New York, it's to the tune of "I Think We're Alone Now".
I'm seeing it from start to finish tomorrow. I bet the movie would be 75% better with a more carefully chosen soundtrack. Snyder should watch more Tarantino flicks.
Naked parachuting is like riding a motorcycle in flipflops. So not a good idea.
Theo, I think you meant to post that in F2F.
Er, I think you're right. I plead DST-induced coma.
Billytea,

I appreciate Theo's error. it gave me a laugh this morning.
Thanks to the movie, I have a mashup in my head of "99 Luftballoons" and "First We Take Manhattan."
It's a *weird* mashup, in case anyone was wondering.
A friend pointed out to me that the
elevator music during the attempted "assasaination" of Veidt was a muzak version of 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World',
which would have caused me to laugh like a drain if I'd noticed.
FYI: Fox to strip special features from rental DVDs
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will now start selling two versions of its regular DVDS, one with all the standard special features we've come to expect, and one with just the movie and trailers to be sold to rental shops like Blockbuster.
Yeah, 'cuz video rental places like Blockbuster have just been too successful lately....
