All of the good "Who watches the Watchmen?" riffs have been made.

Rorschach's Journal

March 6th, 2009

Saw Watchmen film tonight. Faithful adaptation of comic book. Perhaps too faithful. Tells bare bones story well enough. Adds nothing. Except for obnoxious, ever-present soundtrack that functions with subtlety of sledgehammer. Good example of dialogue working in print not working when spoken. Impressive

Hope Malin Akerman happy with choosing whore's path.

Based on her performance, we won't be able to tell if she's happy or sad about it. Well, unless she tells us that she is or isn't crying.

Could've used Rorschach in my theater: some asshole answered his cellphone and then had a conversation on it.

When I saw that movie someone had a laser and kept shining it on Dr. Manhattan's penis every time it appeared. It was kinda funny.
