Well I've had a bad tooth problem all week which has left me cranky, and groggy when I get home and can take my meds. Should be gone in a few more days but uggh! On to other things. I read the Graphic Novel Watchmen when I was around 15. My best friend since we were 4, and still are, was into many things I was not. But after spending a few nights over at his house playing Sega Genesis, he finally conned me into reading this "incredible comic/novel". I'll admit, it's been nearly 20 years so I don't remember that much. So it finally came out on DVD this week, I'm to lazy to run to Best Buy or somewhere, so I got it on OnDemand. Watched it Tuesday night, and was floored at how well an insanely complicated story fit together nicely, plus extra bonus on massive amounts of black humor. Conned my wife into watching it with me last night before our 24 hours were up, 2nd time in my life I've watched a movie back to back within a day. And I loved it even more. Greatest movie ever made? Nope. Major Oscar noms? Probably not. But it was incredibly thought provoking, entertaining, and visual treat. Snyder more than made up for the disappointment that was 300 in my mind. So if your one of the other 4 people on GS who havent seen it, try it out. My wife knew nothing about any of it and loved it as well. Hope you all are well, and have a great weekend.
Peace,
Bryan

Oh man Watchmen was awesome. Although I cringe at the bone breaking part, the movie was so entertaining from the beginning to the end and I loved the characters, I totally understood what's going on, it was just a very intense movie until the credits rolled. I watched the movie not looking for some crazy action but a gripping, entertaining story with awesome characters and I got what I wanted and this is coming from me, a 15 year old boy
got it fixed with a root canal a few months ago.....now im gettin a crown soon......
as for watchmen, i started reading the comic before i saw it opening day
i must say while it was great and i did enjoy it
it was really boreing
mind u im not into american comics a whole lot im more into manga
but when i saw the movie it all fit
i was not bored a single minute with the movie i loved it!!!
and about 300 loved that too!!!!
I thought 300 was a terrible disappointment but they I am a student of history and hate when they get things all wrong.
I am not that familiar with Watchmen so I would not know if the movie messed it up or not but if the show is good I will enjoy it.
