Good:
- Ozymandias and his new character design. Okay, I really didn't know I had it in me to like him so much. I take everything I ever said about his movie design back. All of it.
- Rorschach's awkward handshake. The one that lasted half the film.

Bad:
- The music. I know everyone's griped about this already, but while some selections were good, the soundtrack was overdone. And really awkward during that love-making scene.
- It pretty much shamelessly pandered to pre-existing fans. I truly felt sorry for people who went in there without having read it first.
- You would not believe how much willpower it took for me to hold my pee during this movie.

Other:
- I saw a ton of Watchmen merch at the store! Right now Alan Moore's head is caving in somewhere.

My pals and I went to the mall afterwards. Correction: the mall on Twilight release night at Hot Topic. It was weird, and things escalated from bad to worse very quickly when one of the sales clerks brought out this large cardboard cut-out of R-Patt.

Ouch, that Twilight release must have been awful.

Yeah, it was kind of weird. I'll never get the fascination over that book...

On Ozymandias; SECONDED SO HARD.

The only thing that ALWAYS put me off big time was Dr. Manhattan's gigantic blue penis. Goddamn. :I :I :I

YES. I actually prefer his portrayal in the movie to his comic design. Matthew Goode is a fox.

Hahaha. Every time he walked on screen you could hear a chorus of giggles in my theater. And honestly, some of the shots of his wang had to be in there on purpose, because it was just unnecessary after a while.

Twilight fans are so damn scary sometimes, I swear. And seriously? Jealous of a dumb cardboard standee? Eesh.

See, I've learned my lesson. When I know a movie is going to be long, I don't get pop corn, or candy, or drink anything. And since Watchmen was 2 hours and 45 minutes, I ate nothing all day. I'M A NEEEEEERD and I'd kill myself if I went through all the trouble to get there and needed to take a bathroom break in the middle of the film. I just hope your bladder will recover. D:

Alan Moore is probably ready to commit ritualistic suicide over the fandom first, since that's been around longer (merchandise is certainly not helping, though). I'm glad I'm content with the knowledge I'm going to hell in a handbasket because then I might regret for participating in it. OH WELL.

I'm, um, not really all that smart. The first thing I do when I'm going to the movies is stock up on snacks and buy a large drink. (From Wal-Mart, anyway. Theater prices are ridiculous!)

Haha, that's true. Poor dude. I would love to see his reaction to all the keychains, shirts, and lunchboxes, though. I still can't believe that lunchboxes were produced for this thing. Collector's items, I know, but...still.
