Wow. Gee, I feel honored and shit. Will do when I get a chance.
BTW, ehowton won't read this review until after he's seen the film because this is somehow about the story and not the production whereas swashbuckler332's review was somehow about the production and not the story. I swear, sometimes ehowton just makes an ass out of himself.

Well, Hi there!
I really like your review and I agree with most of it. fabrizzo's first comment made me snort water through my nose.
Background: I love going to the movies. Me + movie theater = escape. I usually go by myself and don't mind at all (I always get a really good seat. : ) I've seen Watchmen 5 times - twice in IMAX. I knew nothing about Watchmen before seeing the movie. I've since gotten the graphic novel itself and I love it as much as the film. I don't know all of the reasons why I like this story so much, but it has definitely seduced me. I am a huge fan of evil destroying itself - I'm sure that has a role in my obsession. I love the music (esp. the score itself, "I'm Your Boogie Man" and "Desolation Row") and will be purchasing the score and the soundtrack once I pay off my iPod. I couldn't agree you more in regards to that awful Hallelujah song. (They didn't even pick a decentversionOpinions

Hello and welcome to my world!
fabrizzo was right at the time that he wrote his comment. I'm not ashamed to go back and make edits to my posts.
I'm ambivalent about going to the movies by myself. More often than not I do, but I do have a movie buddy. Making a few comments throughout a film doesn't bother me--I'll often pause a DVD when I'm at home to look up an actor and their chronology on IMDB.
Where do you like to sit in the theater? I prefer to sit dead center of the screen in the handicap section, i.e. that one row of seats that has nothing in front of it. I prefer being able to stretch all the way out at the movies. I'm not a big guy: 185lbs, 5' 7", but I am OCD about certain things. Being able to have space at the theater is one of them

Yay for Film Fans!
I always try to sit in the exact middle of the screen. Not neccesarily in the middle of the seats. I'm sure you know what I mean. I had MY seat mapped out in college at the local theater. I still remember it - 3 rows back and the 7th seat in the middle walking from either side of the theater

I hate it and it just got worse: link
Of course, I think Engadget got it right the first time around.
