Who watches the Watchmen? That would be me.
Finally saw Watchmen. It was worth seeing once, but I don't think I'd want to watch it again -- the additional gore seemed unnecessary when the comic was already plenty violent.
I'm actually not surprised that Rorschach is getting the "omg woobie" squee from the fangirls, based on his last scene. Kudos to the actor. And I really dug Ozymandias' slipping in and out of the accent. Bubastus seemed like she'd be confusing to anyone who hadn't read the comic -- Robert said they mentioned genetic engineering at one point, but I completely missed it. And while I can understand why they changed the ending, it seems like the rest of the world is eventually going to get pissed at America, since Jon was their big bad superweapon that apparently went apeshit on the planet.
And yes, insert commentary about the Laytex Silk Spectre's hair and heels here. I was especially impressed her hair's magical doesn't-even-tangle-during-sex powers.
It was worth seeing, and I'm glad I saw it. Buuuuuuut I don't think it needs rewatching. Once was sufficient.
The Dan Savage thing was fantastic, as expected. I managed not to drool on myself laughing, which I always count as a success.
Yesterday, I wrote almost a thousand words on about a minute's worth of film from the movie Maniac. I was pretty pleased with that.
Aaaand I need to go finish Rappaccini's Daughter. Nathaniel Hawthorne is entirely too fond of commas in this story.
