"I am Pagliacci"

Mar 05, 2009 23:46

Well I thought I was seeing Watchmen on Saturday. Me, being me, I'd put off reading it. Being me and all. Turns out I'm seeing it tomorrow after work, so "fuck" I thought. "Fuck, maybe I can read it tonight." The answer to that is no, I cannot. I am too slow, it is too long. I can probably do half of it, I probably will, but then I will ( Read more... )

movies, books

I'm just a procrastinator :)

how did you survive the 80's without reading it already?!

so I know the movie and book now have completely different endings.

Bah, I dunno I just kind of circled it for like twenty years but never managed to get around to it? I'M INEXPLICABLE!!! Now I'm paying for it. ;) Well obviously I'm going to finish reading it, regardless. POO ON TIMING!

eh. See the movie, enjoy the movie. Read the comic, enjoy the comic, and appreciate the movie more. Hell, see the move again after you've read it. See it for me, 'cause I don't think it's coming here.

Ohnoes! I'll def see it for you! At least a scene or two. :)

This is precisely the sort of thing they made personal days for.

Blow off the worky, read the book, then go see the flick. Bonus of an extra day added to your weekend. You can read the book three maybe four more times, go see the movie two more times.

Then you can buy a plane ticket, fly to Alan Moore's house, break in, assault him, render him incapacitated, shave and eat his beard, carve out his box springs, and move in. Late at night you can creep out to forage for food and watch him while he sleeps, occasionally you could quietly slip into bed and spoon him, just imagine laying there in the dark drinking in his musk.

That's my plan for the opening weekend anyway.

That's a good fucking plan! You should be in consulting.

*laughs* I didn't even know it existed before I met Jim. He described Rorschak to me one day and the imagery kind of stuck in my head. I found the grpahic novel while working at BAM and bought it for him, as a memento of his childhood. I read it after he was done, and it was so fricking amazing that I couldn't let it go.

Alan Moore had vision, like Nostradamus only much cooler.

The end will fuck you up.
