I’ve been a bit busy lately, haven’t had time to regularly update this thing.
Watchmen met my expectations, I wish it had surpassed them, but the fact that it was as good as I had expected and hoped was good to see. I actually went to see it for a second time a couple of nights ago. If you haven’t seen it, go now.
I can’t believe all the people that brought their 5-10 year old kids to the movie. People see superheroes and immediately relate it to children. Superheroes and comic books do not automatically equal Barney, people. The movie had an “R” rating for a reason, and that reason, or reasons are mentioned with the rating. Its amazing to see people come out of a movie complaining about how “it wasn’t like Spider-man, and this isn’t suitable for children.” Reality check… it was never intended for children. Comics are just as much for adults as they are for children. Once people start realizing that, the sooner comic books will become a more respected medium, and their artists will be looked at and respected as “fine artists” are.
