Today = amazing

Mar 06, 2009 23:45

,I kept waking up. 7 AM. 8:30. 9:30---couldn't stand it any more! Got up, got dressed, scooted out the door for the 11 AM showing of The Watchmen. Seated myself front row, center. Sat through interminable commercials. Previews for Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation and a couple forgettable comedies. Then the screen went yellow....

OH. MY. GOD. ( Run, do not walk, to your local theater. )

watchmen, movie, goodwill, clothes

you should really see The Watchmen for yourself. It's magnificent.

We're going to have to disagree on this. I really, really don't want to... is that OK?!

Oh, all right. If you want to ignore the cultural phenomenon simmering like a volcano in our midst, who am I to say nay?

I've read a lot about The Watchmen and I'm intrigued, but I won't go see it unless the guys suddenly decide to -- just can't handle violent movies by myself.

Yah! for the clearance and thrift shopping! I did some retail therapy myself yesterday and went to Beall's Outlet for a pair of much-needed new jammies, a long-sleeved top -- both were on clearance, a leather change purse, the prettiest little faux opal earrings, and a Ghiradelli chocolate bar that was not on sale but was insanely delicious. (I shared with the guys.) They had a stack of $5 off coupons by the register, so I used one and then they applied the 15 percent off Friday discount. Good times. :)

Clearance is a Good Thing. I love Target, but I don't go often because it's out of my way and has so many insanely cute things that I can't afford. I should probably hit Beall's more often, because there's one of those in the same plaza as my favorite Chinese restaurant.

I can't dispute that there's some heavy duty violence in The Watchmen. I think we all know the Comedian dies (It's JDM, after all!)---and he does NOT go gentle into that good night. There's also a scene with a circular saw...so yeah, if you're squeamish, you'll probably want company so you can hide your eyes and let them tell you when it's over.

I think one might be able to make a case for Nite Owl II and Rorschach without straining too hard.
