so this friday, my favorite comic book ever comes to life on the big screen, i'm so excited i can feel it in my stomach, i have the entire day off from work. i've been avoiding every behind the scenes look at the movie, all "spoilers" pretty much everything except for trailers and movie posters. and i don't look up the trailers online i've just caught them on tv or actually at the movies. everything i've seen so far is very promising. it seems like scenes from the comic come to life. watchmen is a stand alone story, unlike most superhero comics that continue on for decades. but it's a deep story full of symbolism, and it brings up all kinds of questions about life and authority and pretty much everything. it seems like the movie is going to deliver but there is a lot of room for failure. if this movie falls short of the mark i'm not sure how i will react, i still have the book, i always have and i always will, i'll always have everything that i've taken away from it. it's just such an event and it has been built up not just by myself but by different media outlets. i'm not sure where i'm going with this but yeah, this weekend is going to be pretty intense. so i'll either be at home crying all next weekend or in a movie theatre all weekend, we find out friday at 12:00 a.m.
