I clicked the link to a post a new entry and it asked if I wanted to restore from a saved draft. I wondered what I had felt was worth writing but had not posted. Nothing came up. So the answer to my query is nothing.
I'm rereading Watchmen at the moment. The movie comes out on the 6th. I'm delighted to discover it's just as amazing as it was last time I read it. It might be even more so now considering various easter eggs and the context that the graphic novel media can only deliver, that I now only fully understand having read it before. The psychological expanse that Alan Moore explores with his characters and his world are beyond amazing. The different perspectives and lenses that the story is told through, and the deliverence of the narratives because of this... I don't know how he did it. This package can have no prequel, no sequal. It stands alone. It really is a work of art. And this is why it's on Time Magezine's list of 100 best novels.
