Hey everyone! It's been a while since my last blog. Turns out that my computer was dying on me and when I recovered enough to start writing that blog on Watchmen, the power cord AND the battery were both dead. So my normal laptop is boxed up and sitting next to me, waiting to be shipped back to HP and I'm now working on an old computer my dad sent me as a temporary replacement (it's got a 60GB hard drive and 1 gig of RAM X_x). The only real benefit to it is that it has XP on it instead of Vista but really, I'm just happy to have a working computer again, no matter how slow.

So, a lot has happened in the last week or so including me seeing Watchmen. Overall, it's a tough movie to review and to be honest, even after the week or so since i watched it, I still don't really know what to think. It's bizarre that's for sure. The first half of the movie can be extremely confusing to people who haven't read the graphic novel but it's not too much so as long as you stick with it. If you watch it and still don't understand, just know that the only older characters you even need to care about are the Silk Spectre and the Comedian. Otherwise, all the characters they introduce you to from the past are pointless lol. I'm also still confused on one main thing, do they actually have powers or not? Obviously dr. Manhatten (the blue guy for those of you who don't know) does but the rest of them just seem like really buffed up guys wearing suits. Anyway, back to the movie review, the second half of the movie is where the real entertainment lies. The fight scenes are awesome, the characters are interesting and the overall plot is pretty fascinating all together, especially knowing that the same man co-wrote V for Vendetta. The psychology is very interesting together. Very Neitsche-esque (hope I spelled the name right). Be warned though that the movie is extremely graphic in multiple ways and definitely should be rated R. The blue guy, dr. manhatten decides that for most of the movie, he doesn't need to wear ANYTHING at all and they are not shy about it. Also, there are a few sex scenes in it and the violence is almost Saw-like in gore. Ultimately though, I have to say, the movie was good and I'm glad I watched it. Sorry for a weird review, like I said at the beginning, I still am very confused on my thoughts of it lol.

A little bit of news too, along with watching Watchmen, I also went out and bought the graphic novels of both Watchmen and V for Vendetta. I'm only about an 8th of the way through Watchmen and haven't started V for Vendetta yet but both are very promising. I'll let you know my thoughts on both when I finish. Thanks for reading everyone! Peace!
