Saw midnight showing. Worth price of ticket; maybe not loss of sleep, but I'll let it slide.

Initial reaction can be summed up by the list I scribbled in the car on the way home (had to go to town half an hour away to find theater showing it at midnight):

Majority of opinions in fragment form. Few complete sentences.
Rorschach would find ideal.

Yikes. I saw it in Tupelo where we had very few laughs - only at appropriate spots that are decent for laughing (mostly the dialogue that were there to get a laugh). And thank God for no yelling about Dr. Manhattan; or if there was I didn't hear it.

I really was surprised they kept to it as much as they did. Most surprising was the scene where The Comedian shoots the pregnant woman. THAT staying in really surprised me.

And I wondered about Nixon's nose too. O_O It was kinda scary.
